Pneumax offers a variety of 3/2 mechanical valves suitable for various pneumatic applications. Here's a summary of their main options, excluding links:
Series:
- T228: Technopolymer body, lightweight and cost-effective, available in 1/8" connections with Pneumatic-Spring or Pneumatic-Pneumatic actuation.
- 212: Aluminum body, robust and durable, available in 1/2" connections with Pneumatic-Spring actuation.
- 104: Plastic lever/push button options, compact and economical, available in 4mm connections with Spring or Spring/Lever/Push Button actuation.
Actuation Types:
- Pneumatic-Spring: Operated by an air pilot signal and returns to its initial position using a spring. Similar to solenoid valves in remote control.
- Pneumatic-Pneumatic: Both actuation and reset require air pilot signals. Offers greater control and flexibility.
- Spring/Lever/Push Button: Manual actuation for simple control in non-automated applications.
Features:
- 3/2 configuration: Controls flow in three ports, two inlet and one outlet.
- Compact and lightweight: Suitable for space-constrained applications.
- Durable and reliable: Made from high-quality materials for long-lasting performance.
- Variety of options: Choose the right valve based on size, actuation type, and control method.
Applications:
- Machine control: Controlling pneumatic cylinders and actuators in various industrial machines.
- Process control: Regulating air flow in production lines and automated systems.
- Fluid handling: Directing compressed air or other fluids in pneumatic circuits.
- Simple pneumatic operations: Manual control of air flow in smaller equipment.
Choosing the right Pneumax 3/2 mechanical valve depends on your specific needs and application. Consider factors like:
- Operating pressure and flow rate: Ensure the valve is compatible with your system's pressure and flow requirements.
- Port size and connection type: Choose the correct thread size and type to match your existing setup.
- Actuation type: Select the actuation method that best suits your control needs (manual, pneumatic pilot, etc.).
- Body material and environmental considerations: Choose a material suited for your operating environment and application demands.
