Most design engineers select pneumatic control valves based on performance data published by the valve manufacturer. Usually the key performance factor is how much air a particular valve can flow.

The volume of air vented is 88.3 in 3. The time required to vent this volume at 80F is 1.74 seconds, which represents the inherent lag of the actuator. The piston’s “jump” (the actuator’s ...

Directional valves such as Parker Hannifin's B3G-Series threeway (left) and four-way valves are often used to control pneumatic operations. Directional-control valves are vital in any pneumatic ...

The lesson is: Valves matter to help improve driver safety and comfort. This article focuses on proper troubleshooting, maintenance, and upkeep of valves in a compressed air system.

Hydraulic actuated ball valves are similar to pneumatic actuators, only they use pressurized fluid instead of air or gas. The fluid—either water or oil—is fed to one or both sides of a piston ...

With high-pressure air moving the valves up and down and way less moving parts, the engine rpm can go to more than 20,000, even though Guidotti says Avintia bikes only work in the 15k range.

AGF Manufacturing announced the PURGENVENT Air Venting Valves designed to remove excess air from sprinkler pipes for the new NFPA 13 venting requirements. Malvern, PA – July, 2017 – AGF ...
