In the field of electromechanical components, KUHNKE Automotive is specialized primarily on solenoid technology. At the center are applications for locking and securing mechanical functions. Typical examples are transmission selector lever locks, ignition key locks or release mechanisms for roll bars.
We can refer to decades of experience with electromagnetic actors. Our product portfolio includes the following technology spectrum:
- Linear solenoids
- Holding solenoids
- Bistable solenoids
- Moving coil solenoids
On the basis of these technologies we develop innovative solutions paving the way for new applications.
Linear solenoids
Mono-stable linear solenoids are used for a variety of locking functions in automobiles. This includes transmission selector lever locks, bonnet locks and ignition key locks.
Holding solenoids
Holding solenoids are used to keep mechanical components in a specific position. One typical application is the release of crash-active and roll-over protection systems.
Bistable solenoids
Bistable solenoids are used to solve special locking functions characterized by two defined end positions.
