Magnetic Solenoid
Recently a company donated a bunch of magnetic solenoids to our team. They are 12V 2.5A working load. The stroke length is 1.5 inches. I know you can make a custom circuit on but can you make one for a solenoid such that the current draw is only 500mA? The next thing I am curious about is since the stroke is 1.5 inches could you set up a mechanism that only allows the stroke to be one inch? Would these things make the magnetic solenoids legal?

Thanks for the help
