Manual & Mechanical Valves
Manually operated pneumatic valves for direct control of air. This sub-category lists pneumatic manual control valves and general pneumatic valves. They also suit simple machines where adding electrical wiring and a controller would not be worthwhile.
They give operators or machine parts a simple way to start, stop or direct air without electrical control. Look at the actuator style, the port size, the valve function and the mounting method. Check the operating force too.
- Hand control of air tools and clamps
- Basic start and stop of air supply
- Mechanical triggering by moving machine parts
