Directional-control valves are common in pneumatic systems. They control compressed-air flow to cylinders, rotary actuators, grippers, and other mechanisms in packaging, handling, assembly, and ...

Directional-control valves are vital in any pneumatic circuit, directing or blocking airflow to control the speed or sequence of operations. One method of classifying directional-control valves is by ...

A typical commercial vehicle air braking system requires, at minimum, around a dozen core pneumatic valves to meet baseline regulatory standards. And these days, there’s no “typical” air brake system ...

The compressor’s discharge line temperature is often an overlooked temperature when troubleshooting a refrigeration or air conditioning system. However, it is a very important temperature because it ...

The hottest temperature point in a refrigeration or air conditioning system is on the back of the compressor’s discharge valve, as shown in Figure 1. However, since this point cannot be measured by a ...
