Air tools or pneumatic tools are powered by compressed air. The use of compressed air means the tools contain pneumatic valves that control the air compression and release. While professional contractors and factory workers commonly use air tools, homeowners and DIY enthusiasts are also known for using such tools. This is because air tools are…

Actuators, Air Rams, and Valves Market Trends in 2020-2021

set of pneumatic tools

Industrial valves and actuators are manufactured to handle high-pressure fluids or gas and to regulate electrical flowing currents. They are made to last through years of use in harsh environments. Most utilities and industries have a high requirement for heavy-duty, industrial-strength valves such as ball valves, butterfly valves, check valves, pressure valves, gate valves, diaphragm…

Compressed Air Rams or Air Treatment Valves

sealed air tight bottles

Air treatment valves, sometimes called air rams, is usually a single, high-performance valve on main flow that handles regulation for relief functions. It is typically controlled by a high-precision pilot regulator with a controlled relief. This type of valve can also be used in a series with a manual on-off valve, with an electric valve,…

The Applications of the Pneumatic Valves Called Microvalves

water meter

Microvalves are small pneumatic valves that have particularly small components that are used in the field of microfluidics and fluidics to control fluids and gases. They are generally used for regulating or shutting off the flow fluids or gasses. For this to happen, a closure element like a disc, ball, or cone, is moved almost…

Diverter Valves Are Air Rams for Diverting Air

white pipe with valve

The best example of a diverter valve is the type of valve used for shower faucets and showerheads. It diverts the direction of the water. However, since the focus is on air rams, this type of diverter valve or diverter block shifts the direction of pressurised air. When you step on the gas in any…

The Essentials of Pneumatic Cylinders with Air Rams

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…

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

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…

The Pneumatic System: Pneumatic Valves, Actuators and More Parts

pneumatic valves

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

pneumatic valves

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…
