Solenoids and actuator confusion
Ive been experimenting with pneumatics lately. When a solenoid valve opens, does it have a specific time to open and it automatically closes, or do you need to pull a trigger to open and another trigger to close it? Just the output of the solenoid from the stored air.

And is it possible to connect two solenoids to the input of one actuator? For example a 40psi solenoid and a 60 psi solenoid to one cylinder and have both open at the same time.
