LYM 0530# Push Pull Open Frame Solenoid Electromagnet, 10 mm Stroke, 5N, DC 12V 1A

The LYM 0530# Push Pull Open Frame Solenoid Electromagnet is a product that has received mixed reviews from customers. While some found that it provided the necessary force for their projects and worked well for their needs, others were disappointed with its strength and performance. One customer noted that the solenoids were able to operate at lower voltages than specified, successfully using them at 7.5 volts. However, they cautioned that the solenoids do get hot and recommended reducing the duty cycle or current draw to prevent overheating. Another customer used the solenoid for a guide control system and appreciated its low power requirement and fast reaction time. However, they found it to be disappointingly weak, except right at the end of the stroke. The customer also mentioned that the solenoid drew about 0.85A from 12V DC and got very hot quickly, advising against energizing it for more than a few seconds at a time. A couple of customers mentioned that the product was mislabeled, as it was labeled as a 12/1A solenoid but the coil resistance was actually 13.5ohms, indicating that it was only rated at 300mA or roughly 4V. They also expressed concerns about overheating, with one customer mentioning that even at a 50-60% duty cycle, the solenoid exceeded 60 degrees Celsius in seconds. Overall, the reception of the LYM 0530# Push Pull Open Frame Solenoid Electromagnet is mixed. While some customers found it suitable for their needs and appreciated its low power requirement, others were disappointed with its weakness and the potential for overheating.
