Solenoid Assembly
Product Code : JL-LEP-10142
The Solenoid Assembly (SKU JL-LEP-10142) is used as an electromagnet to temporarily suspend the metal balls or the metal-embedded plastic ball in the free fall activity. While current flows, the solenoid electromagnet holds the ball at the release point; when the current is cut off, the ball drops and the timing begins. This gives every trial the same, hands-free start. JaincoLab manufactures the assembly in India, made as per DepEd guidelines, for school physics laboratories.
Specifications
The solenoid assembly is specified by its role at the start of the fall: it acts as an electromagnet that temporarily suspends metal balls or a metal-embedded plastic ball, it is made as per DepEd guidelines, and it is catalogued under SKU JL-LEP-10142.

Applications of the solenoid electromagnet
The solenoid is used at the start of every electronically timed drop, because it holds the ball still until the release moment. In school physics it supports:
- Holding the 12.7 mm steel ball at a measured drop height
- Holding the plastic ball with metal screw for comparison trials
- Releasing the ball when the synchro box cuts off its current
- Giving each trial the same starting position
Scope of supply and ordering
Each unit is one solenoid assembly, as described in the specification table. The synchro box, pad switch, digital timer, balls and measuring tape are separate items in the free fall set; accessories, spares and quantities are confirmed on the quotation.
For the solenoid assembly, MOQ, lead time and packing are confirmed on each quotation to suit the quantity and destination. JaincoLab supplies single schools, bulk orders for colleges and education projects, and export consignments to Africa, the Middle East and South and South-East Asia.
Frequently asked questions
What does the Solenoid Assembly do?
It acts as an electromagnet that temporarily suspends the metal balls or the metal-embedded plastic ball before they are dropped.
How is the ball released?
The synchro box assembly cuts off current to the solenoid and starts the stopwatch at the same time, so the ball drops as timing begins.
Which specification is it made to?
It is made as per DepEd guidelines for school science equipment.
