Types of Pneumatic Valves : Poppet & Spool

Valves are essential components in every pneumatic system, providing a method by which the air flow to or from other

Electric motor actuator vary widely in their design and applications. Some electric motor actuators are designed to operate in only two

Actuator : By themselves, valves cannot control a process. Manual valves require an operator to position them to control a

All valves are inspected and tested by the manufacturer to ensure that they conform to the required valve leakage standards.

Breather Valve, also known as direct acting Pressure/Vacuum Relief Valves, are special types of Relief Valves which are specifically designed

Pneumatic actuators are normally used to control processes requiring quick and accurate response, as they do not require a large

Solenoid valves may be used in such a way that they spend most of their time de-energized, energizing only for

When a pneumatic actuator requires air pressure applied to two different ports in order to move two different directions (such

3-way solenoid valves operate in a manner analogous to single-pole double-throw (SPDT) electrical switches: with two paths for flow sharing

2-way solenoid valves operate in a manner analogous to single-pole single-throw (SPST) electrical switches: with only one path for flow.
