A pneumatic valve is one of the most popular control and distribution devices used in organizing pneumatic systems for various purposes. It is used to control air flow in equipment and systems using pneumatic actuators. Like other pneumatic elements, pneumatic valves are widely used in tools, equipment, and systems used in mechanical engineering, metalworking plants, the food and pharmaceutical industries, and warehousing.
Types of pneumatic valves and their functions
Depending on the functions performed, distribution and control pneumatic valves are divided into the following types:
- Reverse. They allow air to pass in one direction and mechanically close the line in case of unauthorized movement of air flow in the opposite direction.
- Quick exhaust. They accelerate the release of residual air directly into the environment, bypassing the supply pipeline.
- Sequences. The working medium is allowed into the system only when certain conditions are met, for example, when the set pressure value is reached.
- Brain teaser. Pass the working environment under the condition of one or more compressed air suppliers (or other conditions).
- Time delays. The position of the pneumatic valve changes when exposed to an external signal connected through an inertial element.
Features of choosing pneumatic valves
When choosing these elements of pneumatic systems, take into account:
- required functionality;
- the location in the system where the valve will be installed;
- working conditions — pressure, temperature, characteristics of working media and surrounding space.
