Proportional solenoid
PRODUCT USED
KS Permaglide® plain bearing bush design PAP … P14
Material: Permaglide® KS P14
FUNCTION
Proportional solenoids are electromagnetic actuators for small strokes. They convert electrical energy into proportional mechanical energy.

DEMANDS
The plain bearing must possess a low and, above all, consistent friction coeffcient over the course of the entire operating life in order to minimise energy loss and keep the hysteresis low. The ferromagnetic characteristic of the steel back is also signifcant. Due to the antistatic characteristic, there is no electrical charging through which dust could be drawn in.
BEARING WITH KS PERMAGLIDE® P14 PLAIN BEARING BUSHES
In the process, KS Permaglide® P14 plain bearings guide the rotor at a very low bearing clearance. It has a low and constant coeffcient of friction in order to keep the energetic losses and characteristics of the hysteresis low. Due to the antistatic characteristics of KS Permaglide® P14, there is no electrical charging through which dust could be drawn in.
