Onspot Electric Air Solenoid – 12 Volt
An Onspot Electric Air Solenoid is a component used in Onspot Automatic Tire Chain Systems. The solenoid is an electromechanical device that controls the flow of air in the system. It helps in the activation and deactivation of the automatic tire chains by regulating the air pressure.
Automatic tire chain systems, such as those made by Onspot, are designed to provide vehicles with improved traction on icy or slippery roads. The system consists of a set of chains that can be engaged and disengaged automatically by the driver, without having to leave the vehicle. The chains are mounted near the tires and are activated when needed to provide additional grip on the road surface.
The electric air solenoid plays a crucial role in this system. When the driver activates the automatic tire chains, the solenoid is energized, opening a valve that allows compressed air to flow into the pneumatic cylinders. This air pressure engages the chains, lowering them onto the tire’s surface. When the chains are no longer needed, the solenoid is de-energized, closing the valve and releasing the air pressure. This causes the chains to retract and disengage from the tire’s surface.
The Onspot Electric Air Solenoid is an essential component of an Onspot Automatic Tire Chain System, controlling the flow of air that engages and disengages the chains as needed for safe and efficient operation.
