Air pressure of the pneumatic valve
Thread Content
I’d like to ask everyone! What is an appropriate pressure level for controlling pneumatic valves? What is the impact of high or low levels on valve operation?
Pneumatic on-off valves are generally rated at 5 Bar, while pneumatic intelligent control valves are usually at 3 Bar.
A gas source pressure of 4-8 kilograms is acceptable
We use 5-8 bar of pressure; higher pressure results in faster movement and more force, while insufficient pressure may not be enough to make it move
The air pressure of the pneumatic valves in our equipment is around 4 kilograms! Sometimes, the valve opening/closing position is too small, making it seem ineffective!
You can also choose a pneumatic actuator that is one size larger; a larger cylinder means greater force
Usually, we choose it at 0.4 MPa
The minimum set by our company is 4.5 companies. Generally, 5-6 kilograms is sufficient
