Dear experts, I would like to ask some questions regarding the installation of pneumatic valves.
Thread Content
I plan to install a single-acting pneumatic AT valve, equipped with only a pressure reducing valve—no solenoid valves or anything else. I also intend to add a manually operated 2/2-way mechanical valve at the air supply source. Is this acceptable? Will the air inside the actuator affect the switch? Do we still need to add an exhaust valve or some other mechanical valve?
The air can be released without using your manual valve
The two-way manual valve doesn’t have an exhaust, right? ?
I didn’t look closely; it seems that using a two-port valve won’t work. Switching to a two-position three-port or two-position four-port manual directional control valve will allow air to be released during manual switching, while nothing else needs to be changed.
