Calculating Force for Tattoo Machine Solenoids

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the force exerted by solenoids in tattoo machines. Key variables identified include flux density and air gap length, which are essential for determining the force on the armature. Participants emphasize the need for a specific formula to relate these variables to the force generated by the solenoid. The conversation highlights the importance of precise calculations in the redesign process for tattoo machine solenoids.

I'm currently in the process of redesigning the solenoids for a tattoo machine company. I was wondering if anybody was aware of a formula to find the amount of force that the solenoid would draw the armature. I can figure out just about every variable that I think I'd need: flux density, air gap length etc. I just need some way to relate that to the amount of force it would create.
Thanks everyone.
