• The first step in selecting a valve is determining its function. • Review Cv or pressure drop when considering one valve versus another. • Don’t overlook maintenance requirements when specifying a ...
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 ...
Compressible fluid flow through control valves will inevitably cause some form of flow-induced vibration in the fluid system. Identifying the type and cause of the vibration requires detective work.
