Remove push pin from 3992

Post by dchoi »

Regarding the medium size solenoid (p/n 3992), which is a push-pull configuration:
Can I remove the push pin from the plunger and use the pull side only?
I'm a bit skimped for space in the back - the push pin protruding out hits something it shouldn't.

The cap on the end of the push side of the plunger is what retains the plunger when de-energized. You could cut it off, but you would need to have some other means of retaining the plunger.
