A spool valve typically consists of a cylindrical spool that fits inside a larger housing or cylinder. The spool has ports or channels along its length that align with ports in the housing when rotated or shifted. This design allows the valve to control the flow of fluid or air by blocking or allowing passage through these ports. The exterior usually features a handle or actuator for manual or automated operation.

Is the ion xe spool or poppet valve?

Spool. you can tell easily between spool and poppet, because a poppet valve has a visible bolt with a cocking lever on in, whereas spools have no external bolt. Look ate the planet eclipese EGO and the GEO and you will see what i mean.

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.


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.

How do you reset brake proportioning valve on a 1997 Chevrolet C 1500?

bleed the valve until the spool valve seeks its center and the light goes and stays off, all the while hold the centering button in while bleeding the valve.


What is spool type flow divider?

A device for dividing the flow into the valve between two outlets. The spool is pressure balanced by the flow across it. When a greater pressure drop occurse at one of the ports the spool moves across to counteract this and divert more flow to one side. They are not perfectly accurate.
