The Essentials of Pneumatic Cylinders with Air Rams

Some industrial applications need linear motion for necessary operating sequences. One of the most cost-effective methods to accomplish this is by using pneumatic actuators or pneumatic air cylinders using air rams. An air cylinder is a device that translates a source of static power into useful output motion. It can also be used to apply…

The Importance of Pressure Control Valve for Industries

At least one pressure control valve is found in virtually every type of hydraulic system. These valves can help in a variety of functions, such as keeping the system pressure safely below a desired upper limit as well as maintaining a set pressure as part of a circuit. Why do we need a pressure control…

Why Use a Flow Control Valve?

In the water distribution industry, water is a scarce resource that we all need to protect. We need to secure the water supply for the coming generations (and not just the next) as well as a growing population. The use of a flow control valve can help reduce water losses and contribute to efficient water…

Pneumatic Valves or Compact Valves are Designed for a Wide Range of Applications

Compact valves are a type of pneumatic valves designed for a wide range of fluid control applications. The valves can provide users with a space-saving and lightweight design, compared to traditional ANSI and API class valves. Compact valves are big on performance The new generation of proportional compact valves offers the performance advantages that are…

The Advantages of Using a Pressure Control Valve

When it comes to water suppliers, everyone appreciates some good water pressure, especially at home and at work. However, too much high pressure can be a significant cause of wasted water, pipe damage, and leaks. This is why many industries involved in water distribution or even chemicals and petrochemicals highly invest in pressure control valve…

The Flow Control Valve: How Does It Work?

A control valve is used to regulate the flow of fluids by changing its flow size or direction as directed by the signal from a controller. It directly helps in controlling any flow rate and in regulating other vital processes or their quantities such as temperature, liquid level, liquid flow, and pressure. In automatic control…

The Automation of Pneumatic Valves Using Actuators

Unlike the manual valves of the 19th Century that had to be turned on or off by hand using a manual spigot, the modern pneumatic valves used in most industries today are all automated. In fact, most pneumatic valves today have automation thanks to what is called actuators that are part of the valve structure.…

Pneumatics Through the Ages: The Evolution of the Valve and Air Rams

Most of today’s modern machinery utilises some form of pneumatics within its function, be it valves or air rams. However, many people, even engineers, know very little about the history of valves or how the science of pneumatics evolved into its essential elements today. Here’s a short history and evolution of valves, air rams, and…

Why We Need to Maintain a Pressure Control Valve at Home

The plumbing system consists of numerous parts and crossing points even before it reaches our home. Did you know that a pressure control valve can help maintain the life of your plumbing fixtures? Every home is designed to have a plumbing and sanitary system. It is considered as a vital system in any structure for…

Save Water: Install a Water Flow Control Valve Now

A flow control valve is well-known in the industrial arena, but did you know that it’s also one of the most useful one in our homes? It is especially used in familiar places in our house – like the shower room. According to studies, Aussies pay about $492 for household water supply services and $584…

The Pneumatic System: Pneumatic Valves, Actuators and More Parts

The word “pneumatic” comes from a Greek word Pneuma, which means air. Pneumatics work by means of collecting gases and using it as a medium to create a workforce that can operate heavy machinery and other systems that uses linear or rotational energy. Pneumatic valves are used to control the flow of compressed air into…

The Importance of Pneumatic Valves in a Pneumatic System

The pneumatic system is a revolutionary device. It has been used in the manufacturing and engineering industry for a very long time. The first compressor was used back in 3000 B.C., and history dated the use of mechanical compressors back in the 1700s when they utilised it to grow fires to melt metallic elements, making…
