Pneumatic directional valves are used to start, stop or simply change the direction of the air flow as per the requirements in compressed air systems. Compressed air is used by many companies for operating their equipment and tools that are used in their production process. To actually understand how directional control valves are used, it …
An automatic air release valve provides a critical role in pressurized piping systems. In this blog post, we will discuss the best industries and applications for air release valves, their key advantages, and even some disadvantages. WHY AIR RELEASE VALVES?Air trapped in a pipeline will naturally rise and collect at high points within the system. …
Back in the days, pneumatics have for some considerable time been used for carrying out the simplest mechanical tasks. However in more recent times it has played a more important role in the development of pneumatic technology for applications such as robotic and automation. But before we delve into pneumatic technology, some of you might …
Hydraulic power has increased in popularity over the past few decades due to its unmatched ability to transmit power through a given system, simple maintenance, and fire safety properties. Implemented in aircraft control systems, elevators, and construction machines, hydraulics have found their way into several essential industries. One such use of hydraulics comes in the …
Pneumatic systems are defined as a collection of interconnected components that use compressed air to operate automated equipment in a variety of industries. They are often found in dental drills, air brakes on buses, exercise machines, inflatable structures, and more. Regardless of how they are implemented, pneumatic systems all use the same simple components, all …
Solenoids valves are used in a wide range of applications, from industrial machinery, automobiles, to home appliances and systems. A pneumatic solenoid valve regulates the passage of air in a circuit, while a liquid solenoid valve controls the flow of a liquid medium. The extensive use of solenoid valves is not without a reason. The …
Which solenoid valve do you need to control your pneumatic shutoff valve? Direct mounted, remote mounted, three-way, four-way, five-way, AC, DC, normally open, normally closed? So many choices and what does all this mean? I just want to open and close my valve, so why does all of this matter? And what is an electro-pneumatic …
Solenoid valves are used to control the flow of fluids (gases and liquids). These valves act by opening or closing orifices through which these fluids flow. There are two basic operations of solenoid valves: the normally open solenoid valve (NO) and the normally closed (NC) versions. These valves are produced by different manufacturers, but their …
In our industrial process control operations, we strive for uninterrupted reliable operation of control valves to maintain safe conditions and produce the desired process outcomes. Let’s look at pneumatic valve actuators and their control solenoids. Uflow-pneumatic has a well thought out solution to enhancing actuator performance and longevity with their CATS solenoid valve. Instead of …
