A Solenoid Valve is an electrically operated valve that uses a solenoid to open or close a valve seat. The solenoid valve used in a hoist brake is a normally closed valve that is closed when the solenoid is not energized. When the solenoid is energized, it pulls open the valve seat, allowing hydraulic fluid to flow to the brake actuator.

Attributes:
• Protect the brake actuator from damage by preventing over-pressurization
• Regulate the flow of hydraulic fluid to the brake actuator

Applications:
A Solenoid Valve is used to direct hydraulic pressure to engage or release the brake shoes in the hoist, controlling the movement of heavy loads safely and precisely.
