Summary:This paper presents an optimization method for the structural parameters of a proportional solenoid. The 3D finite element method simulation model for performance analyse of proportional solenoid was validated by force-displacement characteristic experiment. Parameter sensitivity analysis results showed that the displacement of the armature, the length of the armature, the radius of the armature, the width of the first half of the sleeve and the angle of the magnetic-isolated ring have significant effects on the electromagnetic force. Key structural parameters were optimized according to the simulation results. Experiments results showed the average electromagnetic force was increased by 20.1 % and the effective stroke was extended to 2.1 mm.
