A steady supply of clean and dry air is required to protect all the pneumatic components in machines, equipment and processes and to ensure their proper operation. While controlling mechanical motion with pneumatics such as clamping.
Fluid flows through the inlet, a small pressure is needed to open the valve seat in this direction.
Two positions of the shuttle valve are shown here. When the pressure of the flow on one side.
Two-way valves are also simple two positions ON/OFF valves but actuated by actuators such as solenoid actuators.
These valves have three nodes that’s why named three-way valve and three-way valves.
Four-way valve or three position valves which got three working positions for the actuators to control the flow direction.
