Re: Electromagnets - McMaster

We tried to use one last year to hold and release our kicker. The problem was the release time. When the power is removed from these they hold on for about a second or so before the field decays enough to let go. If you have a diode across it to kill the back emf it takes even more time. They are heavy as well.
