Build a Solenoid Push-Pull Mechanism with Arduino Uno – Beginner-Friendly Demo Kit

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

Watch a plunger slam forward and snap back at the press of two buttons — this kit puts the invisible force of an electromagnet into your hands. You'll wire a 12V solenoid to an Arduino Uno through a relay module, learning how electric currents create precise push-pull motion used in door locks, vending machines, and robotic grippers.

What You'll Build

A fully functional solenoid actuator circuit that pushes out a metal plunger when you press one button and retracts it with the other. You'll have a working demo of electromagnetic linear motion, complete with indicator LEDs and a tidy breadboard layout that is easy to show in class or a science fair.

What You'll Learn

• How a solenoid electromagnet converts current into push-pull force
• Controlling high-power devices using a 5V relay module as a switch
• Wiring a circuit on a breadboard using a diode to protect against voltage spikes
• Programming Arduino to read button inputs and trigger outputs

Why Buy This Kit Instead of Sourcing Parts Separately

Who This Kit Is For

Ideal for CBSE Class 10–12 students investigating electromagnetism for physics practicals, ATL Tinkering Lab members who need a ready-to-build movement module, and curious minds aged 10+ who want to see an electric plunger in action. No prior electronics experience is needed — the AI companion guides you from first connection to final button press.

Built and Backed by Compoden

Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
