Re: Oscillating a pnuematics valve?
I have seen applications in the textile industry where pneumatic valves are actuated at speeds of over a hundred times a second all day long. (I was amazed to learn that pretty ordinary valves are capable of this). As long as you use a pretty solid valve, you should be ok. I don't know how fast any of the valves in the kit are but you don't need them to be all that fast. Keep in mind that that your setup will almost instantly drain your air supply if you are describing what i think you are.

Re: Oscillating a pnuematics valve?

this valve would allow you to alternate one side of the cylinder between pressurized, sealed off and vented while only using a single valve. When neither soleniod is energized, the output is closed off. When one of the coils in energized, the output gets pressure. When the other is pressurized, the cylinder is vented. I did some tests with this sort of setup and it worked pretty well. The biasing spring also leads to increased stability when lifting light loads. You could also use a 4-way version of one of these if you want to control both sides of the cylinder. Last edited by Rickertsen2 : 15-10-2005 at 19:36. |

Re: Oscillating a pnuematics valve?
I'm not real versed in pnuematic's rules, and I'm considering this for a FIRST robot. What are the rules concerning the purchase of solenoid valves and which ones you may use?
