Read MorePneumatic Pressure Switches: Reliable Pressure Monitoring for Industrial Automation
Pneumatic pressure switches are versatile pressure control valves designed to monitor and respond to air pressure changes in pipelines, vessels, and process equipment. With adjustable setpoints and electrical outputs, they provide a cost-effective solution for detecting pressures and initiating control actions or alarms. In this post, we’ll provide an overview of how pneumatic pressure switches…
Read MorePneumatic Valve Actuators for Efficient Automation
Pneumatic Valve Actuators for Efficient Automation Pneumatic valve actuators are critical for ensuring smooth and efficient operation in industrial valve automation. These devices use compressed air to actuate and generate linear or rotary motion, enabling precise control over valve positioning and activation. Gate valves, globe valves, ball valves, and butterfly valves benefit from actuators that…
Read MoreWhat is Needed for Pressure Control Valve or Pressure Relief Valve Testing?
When it comes to pressure relief valve testing and its requirements, there is a lot of information out there, but actually, not all of it is conclusive. If you are new to pressure relief valve or pressure control valve maintenance and testing, the best thing to do is to find out and then comply with…
Read MoreHow to Adjust a Flow Control Valve
A flow control valve is used on many gas, plumbing, and mechanical dispensing systems and devices. The best example of a flow control valve is the crank valve on a garden hose that regulates the flow of water when the valve is turned in the open direction. Flow control valve adjustments are similar on most…
Read MoreHow to Specify Pneumatic Valves and Cylinders
Pneumatic cylinders or pneumatic valves are offered with different industry standards. Within these standards, pneumatic cylinders come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and types, and embrace a wide range of optional features. Of course, each pneumatic type and configuration has a place in today’s motion-centric automation environment. But sometimes, a special job falls…
Read MoreAir Rams: What is a Telescopic Cylinder?
A telescopic cylinder is a specially designed hydraulic cylinder or pneumatic cylinder with an air rams pulley system that provides an exceptionally long output length from a very compact retracted length. The collapsed length of a telescopic cylinder can be 20 to 40% of the fully extended length, depending on the number of stages. Some…
Read MorePressure Control Valve: All About Air Pressure Sensors
For optimal HVAC systems and the proper performance of such systems, accurate air pressure measurement is important. Air pressure sensors are used to measure very low to high pressures in air and refrigerants. Pressure control valve sensors provide precise measurement of air pressure, any differential pressure, and high accuracy volumetric flow needing reliable monitoring. Air…
Read MoreFlow Control Valve: Why You Need to Adjust Your Pressure Regulator
Pressure regulators are high performing cylinders or valves that are designed to provide reliable control of pressure in the various stages of a flow system. The output pressure of a pressure regulator is sensed through a diaphragm or flow control valve. This in turn decompresses or compresses a spring inside the regulator. The compression of…
Read MoreTypes of Pneumatic Valves: The Pneumatic Gripper
Pneumatic grippers are pick-and-place machines that use compressed air to operate gripper jaws that are also called gripping fingers. These fingers, almost similar in design to human fingers, help in holding, grasping, and releasing work or load items. Commonly, grippers have two fingers that can be parallel or angular, or three fingers with single or…
