single acting solenoid valve

One Way Acting Solenoid Valve A one way acting solenoid valve is a solenoid that directs the flow of liquid or gas into, through, and out of a system and a solenoid that control how fluids move through a system. It's referred to as "single acting" because it has only one essential part that operates, the solenoid. The solenoid is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy in order to open or close the valve.

Single acting Solenoid valves function by employing magnetic force from the solenoid to actuate a piece in the valve called a plunger. Such a solenoid is activated by electrical current and generates a magnetic field that moves the plunger, opening a passage for fluids to pass. With the solenoid inactivated, the plunger returns to the original position, shutting off fluid flow.

Exploring the Function and Design of Single Acting Solenoid Valves

These valves are typically constructed using materials such as stainless steel, brass, or plastic which are capable of the containing various types of fluids. They are available in many different sizes and shapes to accommodate a variety of flow rates and pressure requirements.

These valves regulate the flow of water in irrigation systems, support the release of air in pneumatic systems, and direct fluids in hydraulic systems. They are crucial components of so many machines and tools to help them run smoothly.
