Directional-control valves are vital in any pneumatic circuit, directing or blocking airflow to control the speed or sequence of operations. One method of classifying directional-control valves is by ...

Intro: A graph of your car’s idle speed shouldn’t resemble architectural plans for a new Cedar Point roller coaster. Once the car warms up to normal operating temperature, it should run in a smooth ...

The idle air control valve (IACV) is a device attached to the throttle body that helps keep the engine of a vehicle running without throttle input, such as when the car is idling in traffic or parked ...

A typical commercial vehicle air braking system requires, at minimum, around a dozen core pneumatic valves to meet baseline regulatory standards. And these days, there’s no “typical” air brake system ...

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

An oscillating control valve may appear to be the source of control instability and repair efforts are usually focused only there. When this fails to solve the issue, further investigation often ...
