how to control a rotary solenoid?

Hi, everyone!
Have is a 35 degree rotary solenoid,
shaft extensions at both ends with a
return spring on the clockwise shaft
end, and has 20cm flyleads and a duty
cycle of 100%. On its nameplate---

How to control it? what kind of signal
may be input? analog or digital?
It is a pity for I haven't any technical
information. Anyone could help me?

    A rotary solenoid is just that a SOLENOID.

    The nameplate reads 24VDC, so when you apply 24volts DC it turns the shaft to the other position. The current needed, you can measure.

    If you want to control it from a uC, you need a power transistor to drive the solenoid, such circuitry is found ad nauseam on websites and in books.

    Have fun,
