Re: 24 volt solenoid
I think your problem stems from the fact that it is 24 volts, and not that it is a solenoid. The 12 volt solenoids just worked...you plug them into a spike, or into a pneumatics bumper and you were good as gold.

the 24 volt variety? We haven't been able to figure that out either...an Electrical engineer could probably tell you How to get the 24 volts you need...There might be some way to modify them to run at 12 volts.

In anycase I'll dedicate some research to this as it would help our team out also.
