Re: Exhaust in Solenoids

If you plug the exhaust ports, then the solenoid will cease to work. It only works by letting air out of the cylinder through the exhaust ports.
If air is leaking, then it is for other reasons.

Both double and single solenoids control all ports.
The difference between the two types is that a single solenoid has a home position it always returns to when power is cut or the robot is Disabled, while the double solenoid stays in the last position you put it when power is cut or the robot is Disabled.


What model solenoid are you trying to use?
