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 Valve

A 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 are the different types of electro pneumatics valve?

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


How does a 4 way pneumatic valve work?

Moduflex dual valve combines two, 4-way valves into one valve body, it features two independently operated valves in the Size 1 valve body. :)


How does solenoid hydraulic valve work?

A solenoid valve is a type of valve that uses an electrical current to actuate or shift a spool or cartridge consisting of a solenoid coil and tube assembly. Basically, this valve type uses an electric current to shift a pin to perform simple A/B tasks such as open/close valve spools. The designation "solenoid" means that the valve operation is electrical not manual. Maybe the easiest way to describe a solenoid valve is by thinking about an automatic car lock. The electric current get triggered, the pin gets pushed up and the doors are unlocked. A reverse current gets triggered, the pin gets pushed down, and the doors are locked.


What are the advantages of motor operated valves over pneumatic valves?

Good question Usually motor operated valve used in big pipe lines sizes which it is need strong torque and for ON/OFF condition not to control the process, We can use rather than M.O.V pneumatic ON/OFF valve with piston actuator (Double Acting) but in this case the accessories it will cost you more because you need to provide pneumatic amplifier and big actuator depend on the pipe size. That is why better to use M.O.V the motor will rotate the gears and the gears will rotate the valve with low cost. Contact me for more clarification if there is.
