Where to Find Small, Battery-Operated Air Valves for Arduino?

AI Thread Summary
Small, battery-operated air valves compatible with Arduino can be found in various online electronics stores. Users suggest that standard solenoid valves may meet the requirements, as they can easily switch from closed to open positions when activated. The pressure specification of less than 2 bar is manageable for many available options. Basic Arduino code can be utilized to control the valve, allowing for simple activation. Exploring electronics retailers and forums can yield suitable valve options for specific projects.

Hi guys, I am looking for a small and light air valve that can be activated by the arduino platform and can run on batteries. Once the valve gets the “go”signal it needs to switch (speed doesn’t matter) from a closed to an open position. The pressure to handle is low, i.e. <2 bar. It only needs to open once.
Any suggestions where I can find valves like this? Thanks for your help.

Engineering news on Phys.org
any old solenoid valve should do the trick.

if(condition)
{pin 1 voltage = high;
wait 500 milliseconds;
pin 1 voltage = low;
}

or something like that, I'm not that familiar with arduino platform
 
Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'
We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
