    Solenoid & Pneumatic Valves: Working

    Uploaded by

    Amit Barwad
    The document compares and contrasts solenoid valves and pneumatic valves. It then provides details on common valve types including their port configurations, normal positions, symbols, and functions. Key valve types discussed are 2/2, 3/2, 4/2, 5/2, and 5/3 valves. The document explains solenoid valves are powered by electromagnets while pneumatic valves use air pressure, and that pneumatic valves typically have higher flow rates but are larger and more expensive than compact, economical solenoid valves.

    SOLENOID & PNEUMATIC VALVES

    Working:
    Solenoid Valve: The valve is opened or closed by movement of the
    magnetic core which is drawn into a solenoid when the coil is energized.
    Pneumatic Valve: The valve is opened or closed by movement of
    the piston which is pushed/pulled by application of pilot pressure.

    Solenoid: Pneumatic:
    Low flow rate, compact & economical High flow rate, bigger & costly

    SOLENOID & PNEUMATIC VALVES
    Function:
    The function of a valve is denoted by two figures: Ports/Positions
    ●
    2/2 : 2 Ports 2 Positions
    ●
    3/2 : 3 Ports 2 Positions
    ●
    5/3 : 5 Ports 3 Positions
    The flow conditions also need to be mentioned with the function:
    ●
    NC : Normally Closed (No flow at rest)
    ●
    NO : Normally Open (Full flow at rest)
    ●
    U : Universal (pressure supply to any one of the ports)
    Symbol:
    The symbol for the solenoid or the pneumatic valve has the same
    number of squares as the valve has positions.
    The right-hand square shows the valve in its non-actuated (rest)
    position, the left-hand square shows the valve in its actuated (work)
    position. The pilot control is shown on the left-hand side and the return
    control on the right hand side. 5/3 NC multi-pilot multi-return:

    2/2 NC Spring return solenoid:

    2/2 Valve:
    2 Port 2 Position Solenoid
    NC/NO: 1 way
    U: 2 way
    NC NO

    Pneumatic

    3/2 Valve:
    3 Port 2 Position

    NC NO U
    Port 2 exhausted Port 1 pressurized Port 1 and 2
    at rest at rest connected at rest

    AB/Oct16
    SOLENOID & PNEUMATIC VALVES
    4/2 Valve:
    4 Port 2 Position
    The flow in system ports is reversed when the
    valve is energized.

    5/2 Valve:
    5 Port 2 Position
    The flow in system ports is reversed when the valve
    is energized, each port is connected to a separate exhaust.

    4/2 and 5/2 valves are generally used in actuator systems where position
    control is not required (i.e. only end positioning is required)

    They are similar in function, but different in construction.


    4/2: Slide disc valve construction or Poppet Valve construction
    5/2: Spool valve construction

    SOLENOID & PNEUMATIC VALVES
    5/3 Valve:
    5 Port 3 Position
    It is similar to a 5/2 valve but
    has an added advantage of
    position control.

    When used in actuators, it provides 3 positions:


    1) Advance
    2) Retract
    3) Stop
