Re: Electromagent usage
A solenoid is defined as a current-carrying coil of wire that acts like a magnet when a current passes through it. An actuator is defined as a device responsible for actuating a mechanical device. Therefore a solenoid actuator is something actuates a mechanical device using a solenoid, which is exactly what you are describing.
