Parts & Components
Solenoid
- Vendor: Solenoid City
- Part No.: SOTUH032051
- Description: S-20-125-H push solenoid, 1.25" in diameter, 2" long, 120V at 10% duty cycle
- Cost: $48.88 each
- Electrical specification
- capable of 300V pulse
Return Springs
- 4 different return springs for this solenoid, all 4 were purchased and one will be evaluated.
- each are helical and when compressed take up very little space.
Hex Nut
- 5/32" thick, 7/8" between flats hexagonal nut with threads: 3/4-18 - UNF-2A
Plates
Solenoid Mount
- Vendor: McMaster-Carr
- Part No.: 3511T11
- Description: Alloy 6061 Aluminum Ground Flat Stock .250" Thick, 6" X 6" Size
- Cost: $45.44 each - STOCK
- Holds solenoid and mounts it to the drive plate
- Screws on the side constrain range of chipper
Boot
- Vendor: McMaster-Carr
- Part No.: 8885K13
- Description: Alloy 7075 Aluminum Sheet .063" Thick, 12" X 12"
- Cost: $21.73
- Supports motor and connects to the 2 spacers in assembly
- Material is same and shared with Omniwheel plates
Fasteners
6-32 x 1/4" socket cap screw
- Vendor: McMaster-Carr
- Part No.: 92220A141
- Description: 6-32 x 1/4" steel, low profile, socket cap screw
- Cost: $7.22 for 25
- Provides limitation to chipper angle
Calculations
Kicker Force
- Kicker force is taken to be the work done by the solenoid. This was found by numerically integrating the force and stroke values given in the data sheet for the solenoid. This produced a value of .45 J
- A dynamic simulation was used with Inventor...
Notes
- Kicker plate must be metal to reduce deformation upon impact
- Although the force-stroke calculations produce a ball speed much less than the desired 10 m/s, the values given in the solenoid data sheet are for a maximum of 120V
- The hope is that a solenoid using 300V could easily achieve 10 m/s and beyond.
- All 4 return springs were ordered and one will be selected after trials.
2007 Solenoid
- Solenoid from '07 season. S-20-100-H from Solenoid City, ~ $39
- S-20-100-H
