ITALIANA RELE SERIES NT AC Linear Solenoids Open frame linear solenoids ideally suited for AC applications, having the frame and the plunger of laminated steel construction, featuring high permeability and low magnetic losses. They are designed to be operated in any position, being able turning an electric pulse into an axial pull action. Coil winding insulation being in Class F. Performance, as shown in the following diagrams, is always referred to a temperature rise of 80°C in open air, with 35°C ambient temperature and coil fed at 105% of rated supply voltage (as per VDE 0580). Since the mechanical energy generated by solenoids is a constant, any amount of that force eventually not utilised by relevant application will be expended under form of impact force. Consequently, any application should correctly use the smallest available solenoid performing the required action, not exceeding the maximum admitted operational temperature. To select the right solenoid, an exact determination of the duty cycle is equally essential: whenever the maximum cycle is exceeding 300 seconds, a continuously rated solenoid (ED=100) should be used. Otherwise the relative duty factor would result as follows: ED% = ON time . x 100 (On + OFF time) (Cycle = ON + OFF time) RELATIVE DUTY FACTOR (ED%) ON and OFF times corresponding to relative duty factors lower than ED=100 result, for standard ED values, from the following diagram: Current values given in our diagrams are at nominal voltage. Forces shown are referred to solenoids fed @ 90% of rated voltage, with ‘hot’ coil and 20°C ambient temperature. Any AC solenoid, due to its high power consumption (VA), will rapidly overheat and fail to operate, whenever its plunger is prevented from seating properly. To avoid this, a proper spring can be interposed between plunger and application. When adopting a solenoid please also bear in mind what follows: 1) Any load should be always applied strictly along the plunger main axis (to avoid excessive wear due to friction, and noise magnifying due to vibration generated by the AC power supply). 2) Any mechanical stroke-limiting device eventually provided, should be made of non magnetic material.

When a continuously rated (ED=100) solenoid is required but space is not enough, a resistor and/or a limiting impedance could be used to feed a smaller intermittently rated solenoid (ED<100). Models NT1 and NT2 are supplied with built-in fixing brackets, while models NT3 and NT4 have no bracket, even if these are available as a separate optional kit (for mounting on left, right or lower side position, as required). Prior to select the right solenoid you must always know the force required, as well as stroke, maximum feeding time, minimum OFF time, ambient temperature and supply voltage. If in doubt to select the best type for your application, please do not hesitate contacting us to help you making the right choice, supplying us with all above required information. Even if you can’t find the solenoid you require in our range, please let us know, as we do have both the experience and the know-how to solve any problem in this field. 1 - Solenoid series: NT 2 - Type (size) :1-2-3-4 3 - Coil supply voltage (AC only). 4 - Coil terminals: F = Faston 0.25 (6.3x0,8mm) C = 150mm leads 5 - Relative duty service ED%: Permanently (100) or intermittently rated coils (standard values: 40-2515-5) 6 - Fixing brackets (NT1-NT2 only): D = on right side (standard) S = on left side (on request) 7 - Coil supply frequency (if different from 50 Hz).
