No, a solenoid is an actuator, which helps a computer or robotic system to output a response. The output of a solenoid is in the form of movement.
Solenoids are used to move an arm or plunger through a small movement with the aid of an electromagnet. When an electric current runs through the electromagnet, it will move, hence it is sued to push or pull an object.
It is my understanding that a solenoid is merely a magnetic switch. Early vehicles with power starters had a separate, non keyed starting motor. Very early vehicles had hand cranks. The solenoid allows a key driven electric starter. The purpose is to prevent high voltages from needing to go through the steering column. Here's what happens; you turn the key and a small amount of electricity travels to the solenoid, it trips the magnetic switch, which completes a circuit to allow more massive amount of energy to engage the starter motor. This is why you hear the clicking when your battery is low. The clicking is simply the solenoid switching on and off.

Which electrical device has the output of rotary motion?
Solenoid --- A solenoid produces linear motion. It's an electric motor that produces rotary motion.
How the solenoid become an electric generator?
A solenoid will never become an electrical generator. The two articles in the question are two different devices. A solenoid, is usually associated with an electrically operated valve. An electrical generator is used to produced a voltage output of a specific value and an amperage of a specific value. Combined amps and volts results in a wattage output. It is the wattage rating that generators are sized by.
Wiring the solenoid on a 351?
Wiring the solenoid on a Ford 351 engine typically involves connecting the positive terminal of the battery to the starter solenoid's input terminal. From there, the output terminal connects to the starter motor. Additionally, the small terminal on the solenoid is connected to the ignition switch, which activates the solenoid when the key is turned to the start position. Always ensure proper connections and check for any loose wires to prevent starting issues.

Wiring diagram for 86 ford starter solenoid?
The wiring diagram for a 1986 Ford starter solenoid typically includes a few key connections: the battery positive terminal connects to the solenoid's input terminal, while the output terminal connects to the starter motor. The ignition switch provides a small wire to the solenoid's activation terminal, which engages the solenoid when the key is turned to the start position. Additionally, a ground connection is essential to complete the circuit. Always consult a specific service manual for detailed diagrams and specifications for your particular model.
What does the code P0700 and P1855 mean on a 2005 suzuki forenza?
P0700 is just the engine controller telling you the trans controller has a code. P1855 is Solenoid 2 output open.

How do you wire the alternator to the solenoid on a Ford Granada?
To wire the alternator to the solenoid on a Ford Granada, connect the alternator's output terminal (usually marked as "B" or "BAT") to the positive terminal of the solenoid using a suitable gauge wire. Ensure that the solenoid is connected to the battery's positive terminal. Additionally, connect the alternator's field terminal to the ignition switch or voltage regulator as required for proper functioning. Always consult the vehicle's wiring diagram for specific details and ensure connections are secure and insulated.
