In automated equipment, smart locks, and vending machines, solenoids are the core actuating components for push-pull, locking, and dispensing actions. These applications require fast response, long service life, and controllable cost. Traditional closed-frame solenoids have a complex structure and relatively high cost, making them not the optimal choice for indoor equipment with controlled environments. SHINHOM Open Frame Solenoids use an open-frame design to achieve fast response and long service life with a simple structure while keeping costs low. They are suitable for a variety of applications including automated equipment, door locks, vending machines, and printers. The following analysis examines their engineering value from three core technologies.
Core Technology 1: Fast Response – Meeting High-Frequency Start-Stop Requirements
Technical Description
- Fast response time, with typical model SCM6035L24 achieving ≤30ms response time
- Push/pull types available, with adjustable stroke
- Suitable for mechanisms requiring immediate action
Engineering Value
- Actions such as vending machine product dispensing, door lock locking/unlocking, and printer paper transport all require the solenoid to respond within milliseconds
- Fast response directly improves device user experience and operational efficiency
- Flexible push-pull selection adapts to different mechanism designs
Applicable Scenarios
- Vending machine product dispensing
- Smart door lock locking/unlocking
- Printer paper transport

Core Technology 2: Long Service Life – Ensuring Long-Term Stable Operation
Technical Description
- Service life ≥500,000 cycles, with some models reaching millions of cycles
- Class F insulation (150°C) for stable insulation performance
- Certified to CE, ROHS, ISO9001, and UL
Engineering Value
- Equipment such as vending machines and door locks often require long-term unattended operation, and solenoid life directly affects maintenance frequency and operating costs
- Long-life design reduces replacement and repair frequency, improving equipment availability
- Class F insulation ensures stable operation in high-temperature environments
Applicable Scenarios
- Vending machines
- Smart door locks
- Industrial automation equipment

Core Technology 3: High Cost-Performance – Controllable Cost, Flexible Customisation
Technical Description
- The open-frame structure is simple, making it a lower-cost option among various solenoid types
- Standard DC voltage options: 6V, 9V, 12V, 24V
- Customisation supported for stroke, voltage, duty cycle, return spring, and other parameters
Engineering Value
- For mass-produced consumer and commercial equipment, cost control directly affects product competitiveness
- Standard voltage options adapt to different power supply designs, reducing the need for additional conversion circuits
- Customisation capability meets the special needs of different mechanisms, avoiding the "standard product mismatch" problem
Applicable Scenarios
- Vending machines
- Door locks and security systems
- Office automation equipment
- Circuit breakers
