III. Application Analysis of Different Valve Models

 

4V Series Solenoid Valves

Airtac's representative models, such as the 4V210 and 4V310, are widely used in industrial automation equipment. They feature standardized mounting holes for easy replacement and reasonable pricing.

3V Series Solenoid Valves

Often used in unidirectional (one-way) control systems. Their simple structure and fast action make them ideal for small devices and automated test fixtures requiring rapid cycles.

5V Series Solenoid Valves

Utilize a 5-way 2-position design, supporting dual air source control. They are suitable for control systems that require multiple action switching, such as robotic arms and sorting machines.

S Series High-Pressure Valves

The stainless steel body can withstand corrosive gas or liquid environments, making them suitable for the food, chemical, and spraying industries.

IV. Selecting the Best Series Based on Working Conditions

 

• Limited Space: Choose the 3V or PU Series micro valves.

• High-Speed Control: Select the 4V210 type, with a response time of $\leq 0.05 \text{s}$.

• Harsh Environments: Choose the S Series stainless steel valve.

• Complex Air Circuit Control: Select the 5V Series multi-channel valve.

V. Supporting Components

Airtac provides a wide range of accessories for solenoid valves, such as plug connectors, dust covers, manifold blocks, filter regulators, and mufflers, allowing users to form complete control units.

VI. Conclusion

Airtac offers a wide variety of solenoid valve models, allowing companies to choose flexibly based on space, flow rate, air pressure, and application. Their standardized design and global after-sales service make selection and maintenance easier for users. Correct model matching can significantly enhance the efficiency and lifespan of the pneumatic system.
