Solenoid valves, servo-assisted, 2/2-way
In this case, a plunger-type solenoid is used as the pilot valve. The main valve seat is opened and closed by means of a diaphragm.
With this, closing is performed both by the force of the compression spring and by the medium pressure. the medium pressure builds up again above the diaphragm through a restrictor port in the diaphragm or through a bypass channel. The system closes as the result of the higher area ratio (above the diaphragm).
Advantages:
- Economical mechanical construction
- Low electrical power consumption
- Good closing-impact damping
- Low pressure differential required.
