Hi.
Suggestions on who has them ? Hobby/radiocontrol/robotics stores visited on-line are not promising so far.
Should pull about 200 grams, 5mm stroke. It is to release a string under tension with some sort of mechanism that I would have to think about also.

I have such a beast. 1 / 2 ohm. 5 oz. @ 5 mm with no pole piece & maybe 8 oz. with pole piece. Several pounds to seperate if armature ( 3/8 in. ) contacts pole.
This appears under Completed Projects from many years ago. Thanks to Wendy's Index it can be found under Solenoids & is still there.
Yours for the postage.

Might consider a small linear actuator to hold the string as it can hold with no power. A sketch
of operation might help the thought process.
