Pneumatic on-off valves wholesale, retail, factory price, which one is the best? [Nantong Helu Building Materials Technology Co., Ltd.] In terms of structure, there is no difference between the bodies of pneumatic on-off valves and electric on-off valves. The main difference lies in the different forces used to push the slider within the valve body. Pneumatic on-off valves use controlled air from the air circuit (tubes) to drive the operation cylinder, which moves the piston and slider to change the valve position; electric on-off valves, on the other hand, use a helical coil to generate electromagnetic force to move the slider and change the valve position. Since the change in valve position of the pneumatic on-off valve is achieved by forming a certain pressure within the cylinder, the actual control speed is relatively fast. While the electric on-off valve produces attractive force quickly due to the current, the motor torque is not sufficient, necessitating a reduction gear box, making the electric valve slower in operation speed compared to the pneumatic valve. Additionally, the control signal for the pneumatic on-off valve is an electrical switch signal, which is then converted into a pressure signal by an electromagnetic valve. The converted pressure signal must be connected to the cylinder intake via pipes or a base, resulting in a larger system volume. In contrast, the control signal for the electric on-off valve is typically a switch voltage signal, which can be connected using wires, and without an operating plunger, making the electric valve smaller in volume than the pneumatic valve.
