Flow Control Valve: The Pneumatic Socket Wrench

air socket wrench and bolts on the floor

A pneumatic socket wrench or impact wrench is a power tool used for tightening or loosening rusted or frozen fasteners, large bolts, and lug nuts. The tool provides a high rotational torque that regular or manual power drivers cannot offer. Pneumatic socket impact wrenches provide this power through an internal hammering mechanism using a flow…

Pneumatic Valves: What is a Pneumatic Sander? How Does It Differ from an Electric Sander?

Generally, sanders are required in any vehicle body repair or paint shop. Body repair techs and painters rely on sanders every day to achieve that perfect finish on their customers’ vehicles. Whether you’re preparing a car for painting or removing abrasive imperfections, having a quality sander will always make a difference between a dissatisfied and…

Dental Air Rams or Compressors for Pneumatic Dental Units

A dental air compressor is a specially designed compressor used for pneumatic dental units in dental or medical practice. All of a dentist’s essential tools used in dental practice are powered by these dental air rams. To prevent patients from getting harmful contaminants, air compressors are strictly regulated and are all oil-free, using exclusively compressed…

Flow Control Valve: The HVAC Control System

HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. This is equipment that uses a control system to regulate the operation of the heating or air conditioning system. This can be a sensing device like a pneumatic control system or flow control valve that uses compressed air to receive and send signals that control HVAC equipment. …

Pressure Control Valve: How a Pneumatic Pressure Switch Works

A pneumatic pressure switch is a form of pressure control valve designed to monitor a process pressure and provide an output when a set pressure or setpoint is reached. The pneumatic pressure switch does its job by applying a process pressure to a piston or diaphragm to generate a force that is comparable to that…

Pneumatic Valves Technology: The Many Uses of Pneumatic Bladders

Pneumatic bladders are hermetic containers of air configured to specific or unique shapes and sizes. They are devices that are made out of flexible materials like fabrics or rolled sheets of films that are filled with air. Pneumatic bladders use the concept and technology of pneumatic valves, but instead of using pressurised air to move…

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

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…

Pressure Control Valve: The Binary Counter Valve

A binary counter valve is a pressure control valve that is a pulse operated 5/2-way valve. Control signal inlet and outlet ports are alternately used or exhausted and energised. A binary counter valve can be electric actuated or pneumatic actuated. Main features One switch or button is the way to control electrical or pneumatic actuations…

Flow Control Valve: The Adjustable Diaphragm Pressure Switch – Made to Measure Pressure

The adjustable diaphragm pressure switch is a flow control valve with the main application of measuring and monitoring pressure and direct switching for electrical loads. For liquid, chemical, and petrochemical industries, diaphragm pressure switches also measure pressure through general process instrumentation. This is usually done in the power generation, oil and gas industries, nuclear power…

Blocking Valves – A Different Sort of Pneumatic Valves

Blocking valves are pneumatic valves of any type used to close off any kind of flow. These flows can be through a pipeline or out of a tank. Such valves used in blocking include gate valves, ball valves, and plug valves. A blocking valve can be locked in either the closed or open position to…

Compressed Air Rams or Air Treatment Valves

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,…
