We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Pneumatic Valve",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Half-turn actuators are a welcome addition from
Radius, which we summarised at the time by saying "Pneumatic valve actuator is designed for valves that require 180-degree operation but must stop in the mid-point on loss of air pressure".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Hybrids offer the best of both worlds from
Hoerbiger-Origa: "There are many linear actuation applications where the choice between hydraulics and pneumatics is a tradeoff, says Gary Dawson of Hoerbiger-Origa".
In March 2007, we covered the news from Hoerbiger-Origa
concerning its Hoerbiger-Origa S10 valve
- take a look at Pneumatic valve offers two in one functioning
which says: "A compact directional pneumatic valve that can operate as two independent valves in a single body (or in conjunction with a manifold) is now available in a new size".
Take a look also at the news release from Festo, Automation, diagnostics and training at IWEX,
as well as Flexibility and choice at Mtec from Festo,
and Software supplies powerful remote diagnostics from Festo.
