What is the hysteresis of a 110V solenoid valve?

Aug 04, 2025

Hey there! As a supplier of 110V solenoid valves, I often get asked about the hysteresis of these valves. So, I thought I'd take a few minutes to break it down for you.

First off, let's talk about what a solenoid valve is. A solenoid valve is an electromechanically operated valve. It uses an electric current to generate a magnetic field, which in turn moves a plunger or a disc to open or close the valve. These valves are widely used in various industries, from automotive to industrial automation, for controlling the flow of liquids and gases.

Now, let's get to the main topic - hysteresis. Hysteresis in a 110V solenoid valve refers to the difference between the voltage required to open the valve (the pull - in voltage) and the voltage required to keep it open (the hold - in voltage).

When you first apply power to a solenoid valve, you need a certain amount of voltage to overcome the spring force and any other resistive forces within the valve to move the plunger or disc and open the valve. This is the pull - in voltage. Once the valve is open, you don't need as much voltage to keep it open because the magnetic field has already done the hard work of moving the internal components. The voltage required to maintain the open state is the hold - in voltage.

The difference between these two voltages is what we call hysteresis. It's an important characteristic because it affects how the valve operates and how much power it consumes. For example, if the hysteresis is too large, you might be using more power than necessary to keep the valve open. On the other hand, if the hysteresis is too small, the valve might close unexpectedly due to small fluctuations in the voltage.

Let's take a look at some factors that can affect the hysteresis of a 110V solenoid valve.

1. Design of the solenoid

The design of the solenoid itself plays a huge role. The number of turns in the coil, the type of core material, and the shape of the magnetic circuit all impact the magnetic field strength and how it interacts with the moving parts of the valve. A well - designed solenoid will have a more stable magnetic field, which can help to reduce hysteresis.

2. Spring force

The spring inside the valve is used to close the valve when the power is turned off. A stronger spring will require more voltage to open the valve, increasing the pull - in voltage. If the spring force is not carefully balanced, it can lead to a larger hysteresis.

3. Friction and wear

Over time, the moving parts of the valve can experience friction and wear. This can increase the resistive forces within the valve, making it harder to open and close. As a result, the pull - in and hold - in voltages may change, affecting the hysteresis.

As a supplier, we understand the importance of keeping the hysteresis of our 110V solenoid valves within an optimal range. That's why we use high - quality materials and advanced manufacturing processes to ensure the stability and performance of our valves.

We offer a wide range of 110V solenoid valves, including the High Stability Pneumatic Air Control Solenoid Valve. This valve is designed with a focus on stability, which means it has a well - controlled hysteresis. It can effectively control the flow of pneumatic air, making it suitable for many industrial applications.

In addition to 110V valves, we also have 220V Solenoid Valve options available. These valves follow similar principles in terms of operation and hysteresis, but are designed to work with a higher voltage power supply.
