Pneumatic Valves: The Difference Between Pneumatic Shears and Nibblers

firefighters using pneumatic shears to open a car door

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…

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…

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…

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…

The Applications of the Pneumatic Valves Called Microvalves

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…

How a Pneumatic Press Works (With Pneumatic Valves, Of Course)

A pneumatic press gets its primary mechanical action from its pressure source derived from compressed air. The mechanical actions from a pneumatic press range from shearing, punching, bending, forming, drawing, extruding, and assembly. Such presses are used in mechanised binderies for a variety of purposes and offer the advantages of speed of operation and cleanliness.…

Fluid Oscillators as Effective Pneumatic Valves or Flow Control Devices

Fluid oscillators are pneumatic valves or flow control valve systems based on the bi-stable states of a jet of fluid inside a specially designed flow chamber. Fluid oscillators are mostly found in the aerospace industry and always involve constant improvement in performance and fuel efficiency. Also called sweeping jet actuators or flip flop oscillators, these…

How Pneumatic Air Sanders are Like Pneumatic Valves

A pneumatic orbital air sander is a power tool used for sanding wood. It is commonly found in workshops and wood shops. They are easy to operate, and it takes little time to learn how a sander works. Pneumatic air sanders save you a lot of time when sanding wood, compared to sanding by hand.…

How Pneumatic Valves Make Jackhammers Work

Concrete and asphalt, made to last decades, sometimes need to be removed to make way for a new project. In mining, rocks need to be removed to make digging faster. Before the invention of jackhammers (sometimes called pneumatic drills), heavy metal-headed sledgehammers were used. Today, with the number of concrete and asphalt projects, there won’t…

Pneumatic Valves and Other Industrial Equipment Responses in a Post-COVID-19 World

Australia and most countries worldwide are experiencing the thawing down of lockdowns and strict health protocols. However, even as the industrial equipment distributors and manufacturers are starting to breathe sighs of relief, every response and capability must be in light of what is possible post-COVID-19, for better or worse. While pneumatic components and pneumatic valves…
