Air valves allow metered flow of fluid in one or both directions. Many of them allow for free flow in one direction and reduced or metered flow in the reverse direction. They are used in pneumatic ...

Electro-pneumatic air valves are devices that control the flow of air in a pneumatic system. They are designed to convert electrical signals into pneumatic outputs, allowing for precise control of air ...

Directional-control valves are common in pneumatic systems. They control compressed-air flow to cylinders, rotary actuators, grippers, and other mechanisms in packaging, handling, assembly, and ...

Piezo elements are electromechanical transducers that convert mechanical forces (pressure, tensile stress or acceleration) into voltages. The inverse piezoelectric effect, precisely the opposite, ...

Emerson has launched its AVENTICS Series XV pneumatic valves. Series XV valves are designed with interoperability in mind to provide machine builders across multiple industries and factory automation ...

The safe placement of equipment with respect to a potential hazard is among the most effective (but least discussed) measures available for machine safeguarding. This technique is particularly ...

Getting a valve out of a vehicle isn’t too hard – it’s putting the new one in that requires more care. A typical commercial vehicle air braking system requires, at minimum, around a dozen core ...

Nice feature from Avintia Blusens and their Crew Chief Francesco Guidotti, doing some explaining on what pneumatic valves are, how they work and why more teams are going for this technology. The ...

The MS6-SV is available in performance level C and E units; the MS9-SV is available in a performance level C unit. Both have exhaust functions in a compact unified body. The MS6-SV-E series is ...

Developers, makers, and hobbyists searching for an Arduino-powered pneumatic kit may be interested in the Programmable-Air, an Arduino Nano-based pneumatics kit which will soon be launching via the ...
