The certified and tested pneumatic safety valves from Festo (www.festo.com) not only stand alone or are easily fitted in an air preparation module — they can also be integrated into existing as well ...

Nice feature from Avintia Blusens and their Crew Chief Francesco Guidotti, doing some explaining on what pneumatic valves are, how they work and why more teams are going for this technology. The ...

Piezo elements are electromechanical transducers that convert mechanical forces (pressure, tensile stress or acceleration) into voltages. The inverse piezoelectric effect, precisely the opposite, ...

At SEMICON West, Festo featured a range of solutions based on Controlled Pneumatics, a new generation of digital-pneumatic valve technology that advances pressure, flow, and motion regulation to ...

Getting a valve out of a vehicle isn’t too hard – it’s putting the new one in that requires more care. A typical commercial vehicle air braking system requires, at minimum, around a dozen core ...

Today’s manufacturers routinely demand exacting precision and split-second timing from their high-speed production systems. And that has automation engineers constantly on the lookout for ...

Valves are mechanical devices that control the flow and pressure of liquids, gases, and slurries within a system. They are also known as regulators and are used in a wide variety of applications.
