Recently, the on-off solenoid valves have been focused on core technology in the fields of the production line of semi-conductor chips and the micro fluid chips for bio-medical applications. A key characteristics for on-off solenoid valve, operated by compressed air, are high speed response and great repeatability. Indeed, it is also important to keep the pressure on the cross-sectional area of the poppet to be constant regardless of the fluctuation of the pressure exerted on the ports. In this study, we have designed and analysed the high-speed and high flow rate on-off solenoid valve using the analogy of equivalent magnetic circuit and Finite Element Method (FEM) respectively. In case of poppet, flow field characteristics was analyzed by the variation of poppet and it was able to display flow field by changing the location of the poppet. Also, we verified possibility of the design through the static and dynamic pressure and the 3D simulation using distribution curve of the force by working the front poppet.

To increase the operating speed of the solenoid actuator, this paper proposed a modified model using a non-magnetic ring, which is welded on the magnetic guide tube, and also presents the characteristic equations, results of Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis for magnetic flux distribution and density in magnetic flux paths, and computer simulation results for the dynamic characteristics of plunger motion according to the stroke and time variation. As well, we proved the non-magnetic ring effect by experiments using prototypes.

The inductances of air-core solenoid magnets with circular cross sections depend on the geometric structure and winding number. For the calculation of the inductance of these magnets, Grover's table is normally used. This study presents a method to calculate the inductance using finite element method. The result of the computation agrees well with those found in the literature. Inductances of solenoid magnets with nonuniform winding distribution of complicated shapes can also be computed using this method.

For design of On/Off type solenoid actuator, designer must have the experimental knowledge as well as general electromagnetic formulas to design object. It is possible for theoretical knowledge to do the out-line design, but it is impossible to optimal design without experimental knowledge which only can achieve through many repeated experiments. In addition, in present On/Off type solenoid actuator field, smaller, lightening, lower consumption power, high response time are effected as the most important design factor. So, experimental knowledge is more needed for optimal design of solenoid actuator. In this study, we developed a design program composed electromagnetic theories and experimental parameter values for inexperienced designers. And we proved the propriety of this program by experiments.

The paper made a description of the method for numerical analysis and modeling of a proportional pressure control valve by bondgraph. The valve is a three port pressure regulator valve, consists of two subsystems; a proportional solenoid and a spool assembly. A purpose of this study is to analysis the dynamic characteristics of the valve using bondgraph method and to verified results that each of parameters has an effect on modeling. It considered the effect which the presence of solenoid, flow coefficient and non-linearity of resistance causes in the valve modeling. In particular, it is analyzed the effect that the solenoid interacted with modeling results and characteristics of the nonlinear resistance through orifice on the supply and discharge side of valve. Thus this paper described method to present nonlinear characteristics by bondgraph modeling method, so that we could know easily result that each parameters has an effect on the modeling.

Proportional control solenoid is a type of modulating valve that can continuously control the valve position with magnetic force of solenoid. Recent microcontroller based digital servocontroller for proportional valve is being developed toward the smart valve with additional features such as enhanced control algorithm for finer process and intelligent on-board diagnosis for maintenance. In this paper, development of servocontroller network control with CAN bus which is free from problems of security and network traffic jam is presented. Design of network control system includes modes of communication between master and slave, assignment of 29bit message identifier and message objects, transaction of communication sequence, etc. Monitoring function and control experiments for remote valve through CAN network prove the extended function of smart valve control system.

In this study, the electromagnetic characteristics of a flat-type two-dimensional proportional solenoid were analyzed by the magnetic reluctance method. The equivalent magnetic circuit equation for the solenoid was derived by modeling the reluctance of air gaps and magnetic structural components such as pole core, armature and yoke. It was solved iteratively because of the nonlinear magnetization properties of the iron parts. The solutions showed good agreement with experimental data. Based on the equivalent magnetic circuit equation, the influence of design parameters on the force-to-armature displacement curves was mathematically derived and experimentally verified. In this way, dominant design parameters could be analytically determined.

The process design of forward Extrusion and Upsetting of Axi-symmetric part has been studied in this paper. During the cold forging product; auto transmission Solenoid Valve part, the defects such as folding and under-fill can be appeared by the improperly controlled metal flow. In this study, to reduce the folding and under-fill the design of experiments has been used to find out the significant design variables in the design of forging process. This paper deals with an Process Planning with which designer can determine operation sequences even after only a little experience in Process Planning of Multi-Former products by multi-stage former working. The approach is based on knowledge-based rules, and a process knowledge-base consisting of design rules is built. Based on the systematic procedure of process sequence design, the forming operation of cold forged auto transmission Solenoid Valve part is analyzed by the commercial Finite Element program, DEFORM/2D.

On the basis of experimental results we obtain the effective value of design parameter for high-speed solenoid valve.

When HTS tapes are used in power application, they are used by winding form, such as, a pancake and a solenoid. When AC current is applied to the coil, Ac magnetic field is generated in winding. This AC magnetic field acts as an external magnetic field and makes loss. In this paper the radial magnetic field component ($B_r$) and the axial magnetic field component ($B_z$) in a pancake and a solenoid were calculated by numerical analysis method and compare with measured value. AC losses of a short sample were calculated by Norris equation and n numerical analysis based on Brandt equation. AC losses of the pancake coil and the solenoid coil were also calculated.
