Directional valves such as Parker Hannifin's B3G-Series threeway (left) and four-way valves are often used to control pneumatic operations. Directional-control valves are vital in any pneumatic ...

There aren’t many technologies as ubiquitous in cycling as the Presta air valve. So it’s surprising that, in the roughly 100 years since its invention, it’s basically never changed. Until now.

With high-pressure air moving the valves up and down and way less moving parts, the engine rpm can go to more than 20,000, even though Guidotti says Avintia bikes only work in the 15k range.

That means a high-pressure regulator and filter should be specified. Some new FRLs handle up to 300 psig. ... If you decide your machine’s pneumatic valves and cylinders require lubrication, ...

Optional higher performance valve seats are fitted for temperatures up to 260°C and a maximum supply pressure of 413 Bar (6000 psi). The all-stainless steel HPP piston design models will also handle ...

The high-pressure gauge reads the pressure in the air supply (i.e. 4,500 psi in a high-pressure SCBA cylinder). The low-pressure gauge reads what the pressure is being reduced to by the regulator.

Thanks to high-pressure pneumatics, stretch blow moulding machines achieve an output per blow moulding station of between 1,000 and nearly 3,000 PET bottles per hour. The key to this success is ...
