About Solenoid Valves

Solenoid valves are devices that use a solenoid to control valve activation. Actuation methods include electric, electro-hydraulic, electro pneumatic, and pneumatic. Unpowered states include normally open and normally closed. In a tandem center solenoid valve, the pressure and tank ports are connected while the service ports are blanked. This allows system unloading while still providing isolation of the service lines. In a float center solenoid valve, the supply pressure port is closed. All others ports are interconnected. This allows the supply to be shut off while enabling the load to move or free wheel with flow available to other services.

Products & Services Related to Solenoid Valves

Air Pressure Regulators

Air pressure regulators control pressure in air lines (usually adjustable) to remove fluctuations and maintain consistent pressure for pneumatic devices.

Air Valves

Air valves allow metered fluid flow in one or both directions. They are used in pneumatic circuits to regulate the rate of activation or exhaust of cylinders and other pneumatic devices.

Control Valves

Control valves or proportional valves are power-operated devices used to modify fluid flow or pressure rate in a process system.

Diaphragm Valves

Diaphragm valves close by means of a flexible diaphragm attached to a compressor.

Plastic Valves

Plastic valves are made from plastic materials and are used in applications that require corrosion resistance and/or chemical handling.

Pressure Regulators

Pressure regulators are used to maintain a constant outlet pressure or flow.

Sanitary Valves

Sanitary valves are designed for applications requiring clean or sterile processing.
