Least expensive solenoids

[Mike Schreiber]

Agree with hrench, Automation direct is probably the cheapest place to get them. You can get a valve for < $20. which is a bargain compared to Festo or SMC valves. I've never used them though, so I can't speak to how well they work. I've inspected a lot of robots with AD valves and no one seemed to complain about them or have issues.

Thanks everyone for the input.
Looks like I'll be buying some solenoids from Automation Direct.

Keep in mind that the AD solenoids are much bigger than the SMC ones. If that's not a problem for you, they are definitely the cheapest I've found!
