[SML] Solenoids

[Matthew Whiton]

All,

      I'm venturing into the world of solenoids for the first time. I'm
looking to use them to drop objects from the grid. So probably an 8-16 oz.
load applied at 90 degrees to the shaft movement. Basically a loop of sting
holding the object slides off the end of the shaft, object drops to ground.

      Does anyone have any advice/pitfalls to avoid? Are there quiet
solenoids out there, or do they all have that snap/click when they get
powered.

Any wisdom is much appreciated.

Thanks

Matt
