A 3-way, 2-position pneumatic valve controls the flow of compressed air in a pneumatic system by using three ports: one for the air supply, one for the output to the actuator, and one for exhaust. In one position, the valve allows air to flow to the actuator while venting the other side to the atmosphere, and in the second position, it reverses this flow. The valve is typically actuated mechanically or electrically, enabling precise control of pneumatic devices such as cylinders or motors. This configuration is essential for applications requiring directional control of air-powered machinery.
The five ways to shift a four-way valve are: a) manual b) mechanical c) pneumatic d) hydraulic e) electrical
A one-way pneumatic restrictor valve regulates the flow of compressed air in a single direction while limiting the flow rate. This allows for controlled movement in pneumatic systems, such as slowing down the actuation speed of a cylinder. By restricting the flow, it helps prevent sudden movements and ensures smoother operation, enhancing the system's overall performance and safety.
The number is four ways in and out of oil. Way valves in the hydraulic system with a number of ways in and out of the way oil and positioning are introduced. For example, two-position four-way valve.
The hydraulic three-way directional control valve is designed to operate an actuating unit in one direction. It permits either the load on the actuating unit or a spring to return the unit to its original position.
Closed centre sytems, (where the valve stops the pumps oil flow completely when in neutral), don't need power beyond as the oil pressure supply is piped to all valves simultaneously. Power beyond is for open centre systems, where the oil keeps flowing, returning to tank, even when no work is being done. Without power beyond, you couldn't add a second or third valve (because the oil, being able to return to tank from the first valve has no resistance. So power beyond plugs the flow in the first valve causing the oil to flow to the second valve, instead of to tank. The second valve (or the last valve if there are more than two), allows the oil to flow to tank, and so complete it's circuit.
Moduflex dual valve combines two, 4-way valves into one valve body, it features two independently operated valves in the Size 1 valve body. :)

If you heard someone refer to a gun this way, it means that it has an electric solenoid, instead of a mechnical valve to shoot paint. they are more commonly called "electric" or "electro-pneumatic" guns. a solenoid is an electric 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.

a Three Way Solenoid valve is required to operate a double acting Pneumatic Actuator , depending of the orientation of the Actuator could operate as a Fail to open or Fail to Close .
A two way valve is also known as a shut off valve with two ports. A basic two way valve acts like a stock flow valve and allows water to come in and go out.
A 4-way air valve controls the direction of airflow in pneumatic systems by directing compressed air to different ports. It typically has four ports: two for supplying air to a cylinder and two for exhaust. When the valve is activated, it shifts between two positions, allowing air to enter one side of the cylinder while exhausting from the other, thus controlling the movement of the actuator. This versatile valve is essential in applications requiring precise control of actuator movement in both directions.
The number is four ways in and out of oil. Way valves in the hydraulic system with a number of ways in and out of the way oil and positioning are introduced. For example, two-position four-way valve.
A single control valve can work a double-acting hydraulic ram, but it requires proper configuration. The valve must be capable of directing fluid to alternate sides of the ram to enable extension and retraction. Typically, a double-acting ram would use a double-acting valve or a two-position, four-way valve to efficiently control both actions. It's essential to ensure that the valve can handle the flow and pressure requirements of the specific application.
Plumb them in a series, the "out" from the 1st valve to the "in" of the second valve then the "out" from the second valve to return.
