Not So Common Flow Control Valves that are Probably Unheard Of
Flow control valves are used to automatically adjust variations in pressure and temperature. They come in varieties, ranging from simple orifices to more complicated closed-loop electrohydraulic valves. Flow Control In any hydraulic system, the purpose of flow control is to regulate the speed of anything flowing through the system. Flow rate also determines the rate…

Read MoreFlow Control Valves for Hydraulics
A flow control valve is hydraulically operated and throttled to maintain a pre-set flow rate or to limit the maximum flow rate in spite of changing upstream and downstream pressures. The main valve that is always in the throttled position is controlled by an adjustable flow control valve that senses pressure across an orifice plate.…

Read MoreFour Factors to Consider When Working with Air Cylinders
Most industrial applications require linear motion during working operations. One of the most common but cost-effective methods to accomplish this is with a pneumatic actuator or commonly referred to as an air cylinder or sometimes an air ram. Air cylinders or air rams are devices that translate the source of static power into useful output…

Read MoreCommon Types of Pneumatic Valves
A pneumatic valve is a component responsible for controlling the amount of air, rate, and pressure as it moves through a pneumatic system. Pneumatic systems are dependent on the force of compressed air to transmit power and is found in almost all industrial applications such as diesel engines or even pressure power tools. No matter what…
Read MoreThe Difference Between a Pressure Control Valve and Pressure Relief Valve
What is the distinction between a pressure control valve and a pressure relief valve? In the most basic terms, the difference is that pressure control valves are the first line of defence and is therefore used for primary safety, while pressure relief valves are used as a last resort backup since they are used to…
