Solenoid Valves Practical Problems
Suppose this valve control system has a problem. The control valve (LV-104) does not move to the full-open position as it should when the solenoid is de-energized, although it will...

Solenoid Valve Functional Testing
Here we are discussing about how to check or functional test a solenoid valve using instrument air supply. Solenoid Valve Testing Air supply is connected to the Air Filter Regulator...
Solenoid Valve’s Energized or De-energized State ?
Solenoid valves may be used in such a way that they spend most of their time de-energized, energizing only for brief periods of time when some special function is required....
What is a 4-way Solenoid Valve ?
When a pneumatic actuator requires air pressure applied to two different ports in order to move two different directions (such as the case for cylinders lacking a return spring), the...
What is a 3-way Solenoid Valve ?
3-way solenoid valves operate in a manner analogous to single-pole double-throw (SPDT) electrical switches: with two paths for flow sharing one common terminal. 3-way solenoid valves have three ports for...
What is a 2-way Solenoid Valve ?
2-way solenoid valves operate in a manner analogous to single-pole single-throw (SPST) electrical switches: with only one path for flow. Solenoid valve symbols often appear identical to fluid power valve...
What is a Electric Solenoid Actuator ?
A typical electric solenoid actuator is shown in Below Figure. It consists of a coil, armature, spring, and stem. Note : Electric Solenoid Actuator also called as ON/OFF valve or Solenoid...
Solenoid Valve Selection Criteria
The following factors are important in making the right commercial and technical choice for Solenoid Valve Selection Criteria: – Valve actuation solenoid pressure proportional motorised – Number of ways 2/2 Valve...
Types of Pilot Operated Diaphragm Solenoid Valve Principle
2/2 Pilot Operated Diaphragm Solenoid Valve : Normally Closed To open: when the valve receives an electrical signal, a magnetic field is formed which attracts the plunger covering the pilot...
Direct Lift Diaphragm Solenoid Valve Principle
2/2 Direct Lift Diaphragm Normally Closed Solenoid Valve To open: when the valve receives an electrical signal, a magnetic field is formed which attracts the plunger covering the main orifice...
