The energy of compressed air flow is widely used in a wide variety of areas of industrial activity. Directional movement of air mass under pressure is carried out according to the classical scheme:
- From the compressor unit.
- By pipeline.
- To the consumer (machine tools, equipment, tools).
Special devices are used to control the flow, redistribute it between objects, stop if necessary or if an abnormal situation occurs - pneumatic valves , which for their automatic operation use the pressure difference of gases (air) transported through the pipeline system.
Classification of pneumatic valves
Air flow distributors can have from 2 to 5 lines in the design of their device for directional air passage. Each line can perform three functions simultaneously:
- Airflow inlet.
- Exhaust airflow.
- Blocking the movement of the working medium using a pneumatic actuator.
Locking and regulating elements (ZRE) installed in the device, depending on the needs of the customer and the specifics of the operation of the pneumatic distributor, are of 2 types:
- Discrete - work solely to completely close or open the channel.
- Smooth-continuous - can either completely block the channel, or limit its bandwidth.
You can get more complete information about the types, as well as the technical capabilities of pneumatic valves using the official website of the company, which supplies them directly from the enterprises of well-known developers and manufacturers. All the presented models of devices correspond to the declared characteristics of response to a certain pressure (vacuum) of the working flow and have a quality guarantee.
