Frequently Asked Questions
What is a solenoid spool air valve?
A solenoid spool air valve uses an electrical coil to shift an internal spool and redirect compressed air through a pneumatic circuit.
Where are spool air valves commonly used?
They are widely used to control cylinders, actuators, clamps, slides, grippers and other automated machine functions.
What valve functions are available?
Depending on the series, common functions include 3-way and 5-way configurations for single-acting and double-acting actuators.
What is the difference between single-solenoid and double-solenoid valves?
A single-solenoid valve normally returns by spring when power is removed. A double-solenoid valve typically remains in its last commanded position until the opposite coil is energized.
How do I select the correct port size?
Port size should be based on actuator volume, required cycle speed, operating pressure, tubing size and allowable pressure drop.
What coil voltage should be selected?
Choose a coil voltage matching the available machine control supply, such as the specified DC or AC voltage for the application.
Can spool valves be manifold mounted?
Some series support manifold mounting. Confirm compatibility with the selected valve family and manifold system.
Can Pneuforce help size the valve?
Yes. Pneuforce can assist with valve function, flow, port size, voltage and mounting requirements.
