Developed for the smart home automation industry. The goal was to make a small custom fit solenoid actuator that would engage a locking cam and maintain position after the power was disengaged. We reviewed the available techniques for low power, latching solenoids with the customer and settled on a permanent magnet assisted bi-stable solenoid.
