Pneumatic valves

Realise large control units with pneumatic valves

The modular EB80 valve terminal can simultaneously control up to 38 multi-pole valves or 128 valves with fieldbus. Using the signal modules, up to 40 separate EB80 valve terminals can be linked to form one large control unit.

Valves series 70

The 70 series valves are part of the Metal Work range. These valves are available in 1/8", 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" sizes, in 3/2, 5/2, 5/3 and double 3/2 versions, with mechanical, manual, pneumatic and electric actuators. These extremely reliable valves comply with the most important standards, including ATEX, ISO 13489 and SIL.

Realise large control units with pneumatic valves

Like all valves, pneumatic valves or pneumatic directional control valves have a control or shut-off function. Pneumatic valves control or interrupt the flow of neutral gases. They determine the amount of gas that is allowed to flow through the valve.

Thanks to pneumatic valves, simple to very complex applications can be realised and controlled in pneumatic plant engineering. Directional control valves are used as actuating elements, processing elements or input elements.

The cost-effective and compact pneumatic valves are available either as a single component or as a valve terminal with several combined pneumatic valves. For example, the modular EB80 valve terminal simultaneously controls up to 38 multipole valves or 128 valves with fieldbus. Using the signalling modules, up to 40 separate EB80 valve terminals can be linked to form a large control unit.

The pneumatic valves are available in many variants, nominal sizes and functions, including for applications in hazardous areas in accordance with ATEX. Pneumatic valves can be actuated pneumatically, electrically or conventionally by hand.

What tasks do directional control valves have in pneumatics?

Like all valves, pneumatic valves or pneumatic directional control valves have a control or shut-off function. They determine the amount of gas that is allowed to flow through the valve. They are used in pneumatic plant engineering, e.g. for controlling cylinders, pneumatic drives or grippers.

Simply said, pneumatic directional control valves are diverters that direct the path of the compressed air. They are probably the most frequently used elements in pneumatic systems. They are controlled either manually, pneumatically or electrically by magnetic actuation. They can have two or more connections and fulfil different switching functions.

In pneumatics, directional control valves have the task of controlling the air flow in a pneumatic system. They determine where the compressed air flows to by opening or closing various channels. This allows them to move cylinders, control machines and activate or deactivate other components.

How do pneumatic valves work?

Pneumatic valves control the flow of gas in a system. They have inputs and outputs as well as moving parts such as spools or pistons that are electrically controlled by a coil or actuated manually or pneumatically. When the valve is activated, these moving parts open or close. They then allow the compressed air to flow through certain channels or block them.

In this way, neutral gases can be channelled in a targeted manner, for example to move cylinders or control other components. Pneumatic valves act like switches for compressed air.
