Re: Solenoid Shifting

Given the maximum power rating for the solenoid I doubt they would make an attractive alternative to either the servo or the pneumatic, especially with the throw requirement it further limits your choices.

Just using McMaster as a samply supplier the variety of "legal" solenoids isn't that large.
