Pneumatic Directional & Flow Control Valves Explained

3/2-Way Pneumatic Solenoid Valve, Fast Response, Industrial Use
A 3/2-way pneumatic solenoid valve with three ports and two positions switches airflow in under 10 ms. Nylon composite body and FKM seals withstand 10 bar and –10 °C to +60 °C. The 24 V DC coil draws 5 W via a DIN connector. Precision spool limits leakage to 0.2%, while a spring return ensures instant reset. Rated IP65 and over one million cycles durability for fast packaging and robotics.

Heavy-Duty Pneumatic Brake Valve for Mobile Machinery
Heavy-duty pneumatic brake valve features a cast-iron body with epoxy coating and brass internals for corrosion protection. Rated 0–16 bar and –30 °C to +70 °C, it includes an adjustable response regulator to set braking force and speed. A spring return engages fail-safe on air loss, and built-in relief prevents overpressure. Certified ISO 7653 for reliable braking in heavy machinery.

Pneumatic Valve Spring Compressor Maintenance Tool
Electropneumatic control valve uses a 110 V AC solenoid coil and precision pneumatic spool to modulate airflow from 0 to 12 bar. Its PVC body and PTFE seals resist chemicals. The 6 W coil connects via a DIN connector. Provides leak-tight shutoff under 1 bar backpressure with Cv 0.8. Ideal for process automation, irrigation zones, and air distribution panels.

One-Way Pneumatic Exhaust Valve for Pressure Relief
One-way pneumatic exhaust valve vents air through a ¼″ port at up to 8 bar in a single direction. An anodized aluminum body houses a poppet and spring for automatic reset upon pressure reversal. Rated –10 °C to +60 °C. Its compact footprint suits safety interlocks, emergency stops, and rapid pneumatic venting in machine guarding systems.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION
Do You Have Any Question?
A pneumatic valve is an actuator that uses compressed air to control the flow or direction of a fluid. Common types include solenoid valves, directional valves, flow control valves, check valves, pressure regulating valves, and actuators such as ball valves and butterfly valves.
First, determine the media type, rated pressure, temperature range, and required port diameter. Then, consider the coil voltage, response speed, and sealing material. Finally, consider the installation method and certification requirements.
Before installation, clean the piping and install a filter-pressure regulating unit. The interface between the actuator and the valve body should be centered, and bolts should be tightened evenly and symmetrically to avoid uneven loading. During commissioning, first test the air flow with no load, then gradually increase the pressure to the rated value. Check the travel, sealing, and return reliability.
Leakage: Check seals for wear and threads for tightness. Seizure: Clean the valve core, lubricate the guide, or replace the filter element. Coil inactivity: Measure voltage and check coil resistance. Slow actuation: Clean the air source, adjust the speed regulating valve, or replace the spring.
Regularly clean the air inlet filter and keep the lubrication unit filled with oil. Check joints, seals, and springs for wear. Verify air leakage every six months. Replace internal components promptly in case of severe contamination or wear to extend the life of the valve body and actuator.
