‘Pneumatic Valves’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release James Walker designs advanced seat material from James Walker and Co, which we summarised at the time by saying "Working closely with valve manufacturers, James Walker Devol has developed Devlon V-API as a superior seat material that would overcome the individual shortcomings of all the other material grades.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Moving coil actuators have no mechanical backlash from SMAC Europe: "SMAC electric direct drives utilise moving coil technology, which the company said provides long life and high reliability in comparison to conventional pneumatic devices.".

In November 2009, we covered the news from BETE - take a look at Fitting gives free orientation for hydraulic hoses which says: "A pipe fitting that provides free orientation for hydraulic and pneumatic hoses and tools across a range of industrial applications has been introduced by Bete.".

Take a look also at the news release from Instron, Instron side-action grips suit range of materials, as well as Yokogawa enhances production control system from Yokogawa, and Riley to distribute pressure-fed shot blasting from Riley Industries.
