Solenoid Valve
Solenoid Valve
Solenoid Valve is a valve used to control the direction of air (or fluid) by energizing an electrical coil, together with a spring return or a second coil when the valve must move to/hold another position. When current flows through the coil, the magnetic field pulls the plunger/armature to shift the valve; when power is removed, a spring (typical for single-solenoid designs) returns the valve to its normal position.
Solenoid valves are commonly classified by how the valve shifts:
1) Single solenoid (solenoid actuated, spring return/monostable)
2) Double solenoid (two coils; switches between two states/bistable)
They can also be classified by application, such as water, gas, hydraulic, and pneumatic solenoid valves.
For pneumatic solenoid valves, common configurations include 2/2, 3/2, and 5/2-way, and N/O (Normally Open) or N/C (Normally Closed), where NO/NC describe the de-energized state. A 2/2-way valve is a simple two-port, two-position on/off valve and can be used for air/gas and also for liquids (e.g., water/oil) when the valve is designed for that medium.

Safety Valve
Read moreSafety Valve also known as “Safety valve” or “Safety”, is a safety device of the system. Its main function is to release the pressure inside the system. The valve will automatically operate when the pressure exceeds the set value. This type of valve is used for compressible fluids such as steam or gases that require rapid pressure relief.
