Air Operated Valves (Pneumatic Valves)
Air operated valves are powerful pipe valves used in pneumatic systems and designed to control air pressure. They function like solenoid valves and act using air pressure. Compressed air is forced against a piston or diaphragm wall to initiate movement of the valve, while the valve closes when the pressure decreases.
Pneumatic valves are widely used in various industrial applications. They are ideal for many functions, especially in pneumatic systems.
Main usage areas of Air Operated Valves (Pneumatic valve):
- Activating System Components: When a certain pressure is reached, valves activate a specific part of a system, moving equipment. For example, they can be used for operations such as starting a machine part or opening a coating.
- Pressure and Flow Control: Valves can be used to maintain a constant pressure or flow rate within the system. Additionally, when the pressure reaches excessive levels, the valve releases the pressure, preventing damage to the system.
There are various types of air operated valves, they are designed according to different applications. For example, there are types such as one-way valves, two-way valves, pressure regulators and flow control valves.
Air operated valves are an important type of valve used reliably in pneumatic systems and serve many industrial functions. It both ensures the correct operation of equipment and prevents damage to the system, increasing the efficiency and safety of industrial processes.
