Low-power holding

Latching Solenoids

TAKAHA builds electromagnetic actuator components for OEM motion applications, not fluid-control solenoid valves.

Short answer

What are latching solenoids?

Latching solenoids are used when a mechanism must move between states and hold position without continuous coil power. They can reduce heat and energy consumption in products that need reliable holding behavior. TAKAHA reviews latching solenoids for OEM products using application data such as voltage, stroke, force, duty cycle, dimensions, mounting, lifecycle, and production quantity.
