This solenoid is one-directional, push only. The spring return is only minimal to return the armature to the retracted position when de-energized. It is also intermitant duty, which means it can be energized no more than 50% of the time without overheating. A shifting actuator must maintain force in either direction at all times. This is one reason an air cylinder is well suited to the job. A continuous duty solenoid of this same wattage would have about 1/3 the force.
