Solenoid Valves Are No Match For Jet Valves
Festo is launching a new series of jet valves that are said to provide exceptionally rapid switching times of less than 1ms – an order of magnitude faster than standard pneumatic solenoid valves. Based on a new design featuring just one moving part, the new MHJ series jet valves also provide very high switching time […]
Hydrogen Hybrid Bus Running On Canadian Streets
An innovative application for pneumatics helps power a unique vehicle. The Hydrogen Hybrid Bus (HHB), was built by Golden, CO-based Proterra with funding from the U.S. Federal Transit Administration (FTA) as part of the National Fuel Cell Bus Program, and is managed by the Center for Transportation and the Environment (CTE). The HHB is operating […]
Fire Safe Fusible Link Shut-Off Valves
BI-TORQ® Valve Automation has received Factory Mutual (FM) approval on its fusible link assemblies used in systems requiring automatic shut-off in case of a fire. These state-of-the-art assemblies prevent the spread of fire by containing flammable liquids or gasses once the API 607 (American Petroleum Institute) fire-safe certified valve automatically closes based on thermal release […]
Actuator Improves Plant Safety & Valve Control
Oil and water don’t mix. Neither do oil leaks and EPA regulations. At Florida’s City of Cocoa Charles H. Dyal Water Treatment Facility, this posed a problem. The accumulator system used for the hydraulic actuators contained more than 100 gallons of hydraulic fluid which frequently leaked. The plant had been in the process of replacing […]
Gas Shut-Off Valves Have Compact Double Valve Footprint
ASCO Numatics introduced a new family of ASCO modular gas safety shut-off valves with a compact double valve footprint and the industry’s highest flow rates. The valves are ideal for boilers, furnaces, ovens, heating equipment, gas generators, and kilns used in commercial and industrial applications. ASCO’s modular gas safety shut-off valves are available in two […]
New Solenoid Series Designed For 3 & 4 Pneumatic Control Valves
Spartan Scientific’s solenoid operator Series 3800 is specially designed for the pilot function of 3 and 4 way pneumatic directional control valves. These operators are available in plate mount and are interchangeable with most solenoid operator interfaces. The Series 3800 also can be used in 2 way or 3 way manifold assemblies where multiple valves […]
