A solenoid is a coil of wire that's used to generate an electromagnetic field. This can be used to move a ferromagnetic plunger to open a valve and control the flow of gases or fluids.

Solenoids offer an energy-efficient means of controlling the airflow in vacuum systems. They offer fast cyclings times, are easy to maintain and can operate in extreme temperatures.
