Introduction
Solenoid valves are the beating heart of pneumatic systems. Their function is to control the flow and direction of compressed air in the circuit. Correct selection of a solenoid valve directly affects system performance, speed, and safety.
Types of Solenoid Valves
-
2/2 and 3/2 valves for simple flow control
-
5/2 and 5/3 valves for double-acting cylinder control
-
Normally Open (NO) and Normally Closed (NC) valves according to circuit needs
-
Manual, mechanical, or electric valves depending on control type
Important Points in Selection
-
System operating pressure (usually 6 to 10 bar in pneumatics)
-
Air flow rate (Flow Rate)
-
Type of control and supply voltage (DC or AC)
-
Body material and corrosion resistance
-
Compliance with ISO and CE standards
