When selecting 2-Way and 3-Way valves for your pneumatic circuit, be sure to consider the internal design of the valve. While overall function is the same, the use of a poppet or a spool may have an unexpected impact on your application. These valve styles, as well as their advantages & disadvantages, are explained.

The sales team at Pneumadyne is often asked about the differences between Pressure Control Valves & Pressure Regulators. Not understanding the difference between these valves can result in installation problems within a pneumatic system.

Consider using Latching Solenoid Valves or Solenoid Operated Valves in your application. While these pneumatic components are very different in function, they both provide an opportunity for energy savings. Read on to find out how these valves can reduce your energy costs.

Solenoid valves are an efficient method of converting electrical signals into pneumatic functions. Listed are the top five things to consider when selecting a direct acting solenoid valve.

The primary purpose of a Pressure Regulator is to ensure that compressed air in a pneumatic system is not wasted. Installing a regulator that is too large for your system will increase air usage and waste energy. Properly sizing and setting a regulator is explained.

The terms Flow Control & Needle Valve are often interchanged resulting in confusion when it comes to product selection. The difference between the two valves is explained.

Manifolds provide a convenient junction point for the distribution of fluids or gases in a variety of applications. Listed are six elements to consider when selecting a manifold for your fluid control system.

Pneumadyne's Air Jets, commonly referred to as Air Nozzles, are used in pneumatic control systems to deliver a narrow, directable stream of air or lubricant to a specific location within a machine. The most common questions regarding Air Jet selection and use are answered.

Selecting the right valve to control system pressure, direction of flow and rate of flow is crucial when designing fluid power circuitry. Listed are the top 5 things that must be considered when specifying directional valves for any pneumatic application.
