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)

∙ 12y agoA valve is a mechanism to either control the flow of a gas or a mechanism operated by a gas to control the flow of some other fluid.
The gas is usually, but not always, air.

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.
For what purpose is a pneumatic valve used?
Pneumatic valves are used to close valves in high-speed internal combustion engines, pneumatic valves are mostly to help racing engines to get to high speeds.
How do you pipe a single pipe pneumatic thermostat?
Johnson controls makes an amazing solenoid valve for this type of application
What are the five methods to shift a four-way hydraulic valve?
The five ways to shift a four-way valve are: a) manual b) mechanical c) pneumatic d) hydraulic e) electrical
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.

What energy-isolating devices is typical within pneumatic systems?
Ball Valve
What are the different types of electro pneumatics valve?
Electro pneumatic valves are mechanical valves but operated through pneumatic using suitable solenoid coils.
What is a bistable pneumatic valve?
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 is the definition of the original pneumatic air rifle?
pump-charged gun
What control the speed of a piston on a pneumatic motor?
The speed of a pneumatic motor is controlled by regulating the flow of intake air with a proportional control valve Paul Berbakov
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.
