Pneumatic Valves

Features and Benefits of Pneumatic Valves

Pneumatic valves can be as simple or complex as required. These range from directional, sub-base, inline, air pilot, proportional, manual, and flow valves to meet your application needs. Our valve lineup features a wide range of sizes and high-performance materials. If installation space is an issue, you can mix and match our valves in a single compact manifold. Additionally, we carry several lines of special purpose valves—including logic, check, limit, and pressure-sensing valves. We have valves that meet the ISO and JIS standards, as well as ATEX, EU, UL, CSA, and FM certifications. IO-Link, DeviceNet, Ethernet IP, Profibus, Profinet, Powerlink and other protocols are available, as well, to meet your specific communication needs.

Types of Pneumatic Valves

Air Pilot | Manual | Mechanical

Manual or mechanical valves are often used in more traditional installations. Manual valves are directly actioned by the operator. Mechanical valves are where the machine or process will operate or trip the valve. Air pilot valves help simplify pneumatic circuits by eliminating electrical wiring. Available in multiple port sizes, these valves can be piped individually or used with manifolds to reduce plumbing. Two- and three-position models are available to fit your application and feature dual exhaust ports.

Discrete | Fieldbus | I/O

Valve manifolds, also known as valve islands, system valves or plug-in type manifolds, are commonly used on machine installations to reduce assembly costs and minimize downtime by providing easier fault diagnosis. Valve manifolds are a collection of valves mounted into one unit, reducing pipework, electrical connections, and complexity, making these systems extremely flexible and modular. Expanding the size and functionality of your valve manifold to match the changing demands of your application is a simple “plug and play” experience. Combining proportional valves with fieldbus technology adds I/P or E/P signal conversion to your application. To further the ease of functionality, fieldbus electronics are replacing conventional discrete wired solutions, whereby the communication capability is integrated into the pneumatic valve manifolds with input/output (I/O) capabilities. This electronic platform is simple and easy to assemble, install, commission, and maintain, and permits easy access to connections. This functionality allows programmable logic controllers to efficiently turn valves on and off and to channel I/O data from sensors, lights, relays, individual valves, or other I/O devices via various industrial networks.

Pilot-Operated | Check | Logic

Pilot-operated pneumatic check valves are available in both manual and pilot release capabilities. They are specifically designed to be bubble-tight to maximize the reliability and safety of pneumatic actuators in preventing movement of the actuator when the air pressure is removed. Pneumatic check valves are self-automated, do not require assistance to open or close, and will continue to function without a manual operator, electricity, or other external controls. Pneumatic check valves are commonly used in vacuum breakers, steam lines, cooling towers, HVAC system, sump pumps, pressure pumps, boilers, and more. Pneumatic logic valves provide a range of functions including “And,” “Not,” “Or,” “Yes,” and “Memory.” This allows you to design a simple logic system to control a process or machine without the need of a PLC, or even electricity, as air signals from mechanical valves are used in place of wired switches.
