Calculating Force for Tattoo Machine Solenoids

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on redesigning solenoids for tattoo machines and seeks a formula to calculate the force exerted by the solenoid on the armature. Key variables such as flux density and air gap length are identified as known factors in the calculation. Participants are encouraged to share any relevant formulas or methods to relate these variables to the force produced. The conversation aims to provide practical solutions for optimizing tattoo machine performance. Overall, the thread emphasizes the importance of accurate calculations in solenoid design for tattoo machines.

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.

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
