Solenoid valve Function and operation An electrically actuated valve that opens or closes to regulate the flow of liquids or gases in a pipe or system. When the coil is energized, a movable element shifts position to change the valve state and control flow. Key benefits Fast, reliable on/off control suitable for automated systems and timed operations. Precise shutoff and repeatable actuation for consistent process control. Compact footprint that fits into tight spaces and simple electrical interfaces for easy integration. Low maintenance design with robust construction and durable seals to minimize leakage when installed to specifications. Flexible control options with compatibility for common control signals; exact voltages and coil configurations vary by model. Compatibility, size, materials, and performance Compatibility: suitable for a range of fluids and gases depending on the model and material selection. Verify the product datasheet for fluid compatibility, temperature range, and pressure ratings. Size and connections: available in multiple port sizes and connection types; size and configuration depend on the chosen model. Materials: body and seal materials are selected to match the intended fluid, environment, and operating conditions; consult the model specifications for exact material details. Performance: designed to deliver reliable actuation and tight shutoff within the specified operating range; performance metrics such as pressure rating, temperature range, response time, and cycle life are defined in the model datasheet. Applications and use scenarios Irrigation systems: automate water flow to sprinklers or drip lines using timers or sensor inputs for efficient watering. Industrial automation: control compressed air or inert gas lines on production lines, enabling rapid sequencing and safety interlocks. Laboratory and process equipment: regulate small fluid or gas circuits in analytical instruments, reactors, or testing setups requiring precise on/off control. Notes Modelspecific details such as voltage, pressure ratings, temperature limits, material composition, and port sizes vary. Refer to the product datasheet for the exact specifications of the model you choose.
