A component used in pneumatic systems, identified by fractional inch measurements, regulates the flow of pressurized gas. These control devices are typically found in applications requiring precise management of air movement for operations such as actuation, inflation, or pressure regulation. For example, it can be used in a vehicle’s air suspension system or in industrial machinery to control the activation of pneumatic cylinders.
Its utilization ensures efficient system performance and enables precise control over processes. The use of this type of component can result in improved responsiveness in automated systems, enhanced safety in pressure-sensitive applications, and optimized energy consumption. Historically, the development of these control components reflects the broader advancement in pneumatic technology, moving from manual controls to more sophisticated automated systems.
