HMS Industrial Networks has shipped its five-millionth Anybus product to Parker Hannifin, with its Anybus CompactCom B40, which is to be used in one of Parker’s new valve control units. Anybus CompactCom will enable these valve controls to communicate on any fieldbus or industrial Ethernet network and consequently be used in any type of application, anywhere. […]
Pressure holding valves
In certain applications, venting of the actuator has to be avoided in case of pressure failure. For this purpose Hafner has developed the so-called pressure holding valve. From a technical perspective the pressure holding valve is a double non-return valve which is blocking the air-flow when neither at port P1 nor port P2 any pressure […]
How automated air control valves can replace VFDs
Air knife systems controlled by automated valves offer significant benefits over complex and costly VFD motor controls. By Dan VanderPyl, President, Sonic Air Systems Variable frequency drives for electric motors have become a welcome addition to a wide variety of machinery for a long list of 21st century applications, but they are no longer the […]
Aventics refines its Advanced Valves once again
Right from the start, simple handling was one of the most important features of the AV valve system series. Pneumatics specialists from Aventics have taken this approach one step further and now have a new solution to showcase at the Hannover Messe 2018. With outlets on the bottom, the AV system is optimized for installation […]
RSe series from Ross Controls provides safe exhaust and cylinder return
ROSS Controls introduces its new RSe series sub-base mounted valves for safety exhaust (dump) and safe cylinder return applications up to Category-4, PL e. The safety function of the 3/2 RSe series valve is to supply compressed air to a machine/system until signaled to shut off and exhaust any pneumatics energy from downstream of the […]

ISO-standard valves are widely used in a wide range of industrial applications. Hafner Pneumatik, Kornwestheim, Germany has recently developed a range of ISO 4 valves and manifold plates. Single- as well as double-solenoid, 5-way valves are available. And designs include modular manifold plates with all ports on one side, as well as single base plates. […]
New M35 Series modular double valves ensure safety
Ross Controls has introduced its new M35 Series safety exhaust (dump) valve for Category-4, PL e machine guarding applications. The safety function of the M35 Series valve is to shut off supply of pneumatic energy and to exhaust any pneumatic energy from downstream of the valve. The Ross M35 Series double valve includes the 3/2 normally closed […]
Clippard launches high-flow proportional electronic valves
Clippard’s newest DVP series proportional solenoid valves are precision-built 2-way control valves, utilizing a unique, patented valving principle. This powerful series was designed as the next generation of the well-known and trusted original EV line of Clippard “Mouse” valves. With a life of more than a billion cycles, a solid, compact design, and extremely high flow rates, […]
Koganei’s William Miller discusses the company’s F Series solenoid valves
