Solenoid

A solenoid is a loop of wire, often wrapped around a metallic core, which produces a magnetic field through electromagnetic induction when an electrical current is passed through it. Solenoids are important because they can create controlled magnetic fields and can be used as electromagnets.

Hydraulic solenoids

Hydraulic solenoids are in general similar to pneumatic solenoids except that they are more durable, with tighter tolerances and exert much higher forces. Hydraulic brakes use solenoids to bend sheets of titanium in aerospace manufacturing, for example.
