Where the SH-0837 / SH-0826 Sit in the Range
The SH-0837 is a mid-to-large frame in our open frame solenoid range: 96 g, rated for continuous (100% duty) operation at 4 W, or short pulses up to 40 W on a 10% duty cycle. Its published power, coil resistance and duty-cycle ratings are identical to the SH-1037 in our larger-frame family. One frame size down at 66 g, the SH-0826 runs continuously at 2.8 W and reaches 28 W at 10% duty, a lighter option when the working stroke needs less force than the SH-0837 delivers. Both models share the same duty-cycle structure (100% / 50% / 25% / 10%), so the same drive-circuit logic and duty-cycle math carry over between the two frame sizes.

Force-Stroke Behaviour
Force is not a single number for either model: it changes along the stroke, and each duty-cycle rating has its own curve. The full force-stroke charts for the SH-0837 and SH-0826 are in the datasheet image below. When you specify either model, state the force you need at the working point of the stroke, not just the peak. Comparing peak force alone can be misleading, because the two frame sizes behave differently across the stroke, and a smaller frame run near its peak can outperform a larger frame that is still early in its curve.
Typical Applications
Mid-frame open frame solenoids in this weight class are typically specified for locking and latching mechanisms, industrial automation actuators, packaging and dispensing equipment, and machinery that needs a stronger pull than a compact frame can deliver without the mass of our largest frames. The SH-0826 suits applications where panel space or mounting mass is tighter; the SH-0837 suits applications that need the extra continuous power headroom. Push and pull configurations are available for both models.
