Directional control valves are used in pneumatic systems to direct or stop the flow of compressed air or oil to their appliances. They are probably the most used elements in pneumatic systems and can be used for example to actuate a cylinder, a larger industrial valve, or air tools. The valves can have two or more ports and fulfil various circuit functions. The function and behaviour of the valve can be indicated by a symbol. The symbol however doesn't explain the construction of the valve. Directional control valves can be actuated by different means, such as manual actuation or solenoid actuation. This article focuses on the different directional solenoid valves for pneumatic systems.
Diaphragm Operated Solenoid Valve
(0 Customer reviews)Diaphragm valves are bi-directional, on-off throttle valves. They are used to control fluid flow by regulating the area with which media can enter and exit the valve, effectively changing its speed and velocity.
The most common diaphragm valves use pneumatic actuators; in this type of valve, air pressure is applied through a pilot valve into the actuator which in turn raises the diaphragm and opens the valve. This type of valve is one of the more common valves used in operations where valve speed is a necessity.
