End Return 3-Position Solenoid
Valve MechanismApplication of an end return 3-position solenoid in a gas valve. It remains in the fully closed position when not energized. It can be controlled to intermediate and fully open positions by switching the energized coils. No positioning mechanism or control is required.

Center Return 3-Position Solenoid
Optical Filter Selection Mechanism3-position solenoid used in an optical filter selection mechanism. It normally stays in the center position and selects either the push side or pull side as needed. Since it waits in the center position, it switches to either side under almost equal conditions.
