The Air/Vacuum Valve automatically exhausts large volumes of air from the system while it is being filled with the slurry. When the contamination is being emptied, air displaces the fluid and ...

Depending on the automotive part, air is crucial or crucially harmful. Whereas an engine needs air to function properly, the opposite is true for a car’s braking system. To operate effectively and ...

Here's how air-driven and mechanical systems compare. In high-pressure manufacturing environments where every second counts, it's ironic that so many processes rely heavily on low-pressure solutions.

A typical commercial vehicle air braking system requires, at minimum, around a dozen core pneumatic valves to meet baseline regulatory standards. And these days, there’s no “typical” air brake system ...

Piezo elements are electromechanical transducers that convert mechanical forces (pressure, tensile stress or acceleration) into voltages. The inverse piezoelectric effect, precisely the opposite, ...

German researchers at Saarland University and the Center for Mechatronics and Automation Technology (ZeMA) are working to advance vacuum technology. They have designed small pumps and valves that work ...
