High Speed Pneumatic Valve: 200+ Times/Sec, 2-Way, 12bar, 0.03 kg/sec

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the feasibility of acquiring a high-speed pneumatic valve capable of operating over 200 times per second, with specific requirements including being a 2-way valve, operating at a pressure of 12 bar, and having a mass flow rate of 0.03 kg/sec. The context includes considerations of applications and existing technologies.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses skepticism about the availability of such a high-performance valve.
  • Another suggests that a rotary disk valve on a high-speed spindle might be a potential solution.
  • A participant inquires about the specific application for which the valve is needed, indicating a desire for more context.
  • One contributor mentions that SMC offers valves capable of 100 cycles per second and references a valve from a company named Kelly with a 1 ms on/off time.
  • Another participant argues that high-speed valves are used in applications like automotive systems, implying that such performance is not entirely uncommon.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the availability of a valve meeting the specified criteria, with some expressing doubt while others suggest possible alternatives or existing technologies.

Contextual Notes

The discussion lacks detailed specifications on the operational requirements or applications that would necessitate such a high-speed valve, which may influence the feasibility of finding a suitable product.

Hello everyone
Iam doing my M.S in aerospace engineering at Chennai, India.
I require a high-speed operating pneumatic valve that can open and close more than 200 times a second.
Kindly allow me to know if it is possible to acquire such a valve with these additional specifications also:
> 2 way
> pressure 12bar
> mass flow rate 0.03 kg/sec
Thanking you in advance.

I've never heard of anything that high performance. Sorry.
 
Maybe some sort of rotary disk valve on a high-speed spindle?
 
I am trying to think of what application would need such a valve. Do you want to share the valve's requirement?
 
I have no affiliation to these companies.
smc has valves that can do 100 cycles per second,
and i found one under "kelly" company name that had a 1 ms on or off time

and to answer the question about why would anyone want to go that fast,
do you drive a car? the valves in your car go that fast.
