A linear acting solenoid directed to energy conservation. The disclosure combines plural elements usable singly or in combination to enable in aggregate a low cost assembly, yielding values of pull-force per watt of input exceeding ten ounces. Size, cost, and temperature rise are reduced, and shading rings are avoided. Novel elements include a composite phase-splitting core, and a unitary magnetic shell forming an efficient divided-path magnetic circuit, the flux therethrough being confluent through armature and core. In valve or other fluid-barrier uses, a thin ferrous armature housing enables pull values exceeding three ounces per watt of input.
