Shop solenoids and electromagnets from AuscomTech. We stock practical push-pull solenoids, electromagnetic modules and small actuator-style parts for Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi compatible boards, electronics projects, access control, robotics, automation prototypes and low-voltage motion applications.

Whether you are building a locking mechanism, release trigger, small actuator, access control project, robot mechanism or simple linear motion system, solenoids and electromagnets allow electronics projects to create push, pull, holding or magnetic force when powered correctly.

Shop Solenoids & Electromagnets by Type

Our solenoid and electromagnet range may include products such as:

  • Push-Pull Solenoids: Linear actuator-style solenoids used for short push or pull movement in electronics and automation projects.
  • Pull-Type Solenoids: Solenoids designed to pull a plunger or mechanism when energised.
  • Electromagnet Modules: Magnetic holding modules used for suitable locking, holding or release applications.
  • Mini Solenoids: Compact solenoids for small mechanisms, models, locks, triggers and project builds.
  • Solenoid Accessories: Brackets, leads and mounting parts depending on current availability.

Solenoids for Arduino, ESP32 & Electronics Projects

Solenoids are commonly used when a project needs short linear movement. They are useful for locks, latches, release mechanisms, dispensers, small actuators, model projects, robotics, alarm triggers and automation prototypes.

Most solenoids require more current than a microcontroller pin can provide, so they usually need a suitable MOSFET switch module, relay module, transistor driver or external power supply. Always check the voltage, current draw, duty cycle, stroke length, force rating, plunger type, heat generation and mounting method before use.

Electromagnets for Holding & Release Projects

Electromagnets are used to create a magnetic holding force when powered. They can be useful in access control, cabinet holding, release mechanisms, robotics and simple magnetic attachment projects where the load and safety requirements are suitable.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a solenoid used for?

A solenoid is used to create short linear movement when powered. Solenoids are commonly used in locks, latches, release mechanisms, actuators and small automation projects.

Can I use a solenoid with Arduino or ESP32?

Yes, but most solenoids need a separate power supply and driver circuit such as a MOSFET switch, transistor driver or relay module. Do not connect most solenoids directly to a microcontroller pin.

What is the difference between a solenoid and an electromagnet?

A solenoid usually creates linear push or pull movement using a plunger. An electromagnet creates magnetic holding force when powered.

Do solenoids get hot?

Many solenoids can heat up during use, especially if powered continuously. Check the voltage, current, duty cycle and operating time before using a solenoid in a project.

Can you help me choose the right solenoid or electromagnet?

Yes. If you are unsure which part suits your project, contact AuscomTech with your supply voltage, required force, stroke length, load, mounting method and how long it needs to stay energised.
