Best Answer

A Bistable Pneumatic Valve is typically a pilot valve that is a 3 ported 2 position detented valve. The valve retains is position during loss of power.

this can be accomplished with a mechanical detent and 2 solenoids or a :mangna lath magnetic latch with a polarity sensitive coil. Positive opens and negative closes or vice versa.

What are the different types of electro pneumatics valve?

Electro pneumatic valves are mechanical valves but operated through pneumatic using suitable solenoid coils.


What are the Application of control valve with positioner?

One of the application of the control valve with positioner is that it is used to control the opening and closing of the actuator based on electric or pneumatic signals. The opening or closing of control valves is usually done automatically by electrical, hydraulic or pneumatic actuators.


What is a pneumatic solenoid operated spool valve?

spool valveA spool valve is a multidirectional hydraulic or pneumatic valve usually operated by a joystick. It has several hoses attached to it leading to different pneumatic rams. When the joystick is pushed in one direction, it causes the valve to shut off one of the pneumatic hoses leading to the ram and open the other. Which way the joystick is pushed moves the piston in the ram in or out. Since you specified a solenoid operated valve it is operated not by a joystick that is directly connected to the valve but rather an electric joystick like the you would use in a video game and an electrical signal is sent to activate a solenoid that does the same thing but can be much farther away from the operator. Solenoid Actuated Pneumatic Spool ValveA solenoid actuated pneumatic spool valve is a spool valve actuated by an electric solenoid. They are often used in industrial automation and are usually controlled by a PC or a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) rather than a manual switch. To reduce the size and power consumption of the solenoid, often the solenoid does not directly actuate the spool. Instead, the solenoid actuates a small internal valve which directs upstream air pressure to move the spool. This is called an air piloted solenoid actuated pneumatic spool valve. The air pilot mechanism typically requires about 40 PSI to operate reliably. If the air pressure upstream of the valve is going to be less than 40 PSI, the valve must be externally piloted, meaning that the pilot is connected to a separate air source which is above 40 PSI.

What is the function of pneumatic valves?

If you are talking about a pneumatic solenoid valve the function of it is to control the air in and out flow in a pneumatic actuator.


Are all air valves pneumatic?

Pneumatic is defined as air driven and therefore the two terms are synonomous. However pneumatic is not as frequently used in describing a valve.

Does a pneumatic spool valve require lubrication?

A pneumatic spool valve usually has two sets of atleast one but possibly more rubber o-rings which does indeed need lubrication to function properly.


What is the definition of pneumatic valve?

A valve which requires pressurised air to operate (open or close) is known as pneumatic valve. A valve has a valve base through which the media (could be be air, liquid, steam, gas...) flows and a actuator mounted on the base which helps operate the valve. This actuator could be of pneumatic type. (or elctrically operated motorised type)
