  • Today we're taking a closer look at pneumatic valves and fittings. We'll look at different configurations of pneumatic solenoid valves, show how to read valve diagrams, talk about different pneumatic fitting threads, and show how to connect a double-acting cylinder.
    Some of the stuff in this video:

    Yes, the wonderful thing about standards is that there are SO MANY OF THEM!!

    I’m glad you always seem to be working on something that relates to something I’m working on at the moment too. I like how you really get into the technicalities.

    Great to see you back at it, looking forward to the rest of the ATC spindle project.

    Thank God you're back. I was having separation anxiety attacks.

    Thanks for the follow up! Especially because your doing this all for us and it only slows you down to do a follow up.

    Welcome back! Very comprehensive explanation. The mufflers also keep from pulling particulate into the spool and jamming up the valve. Thanks for sharing!

    Thank you for covering this. Will store the info for later usage.

    As a career EE, I find the electro-mechanical valve schematics possibly the least intuitive of all industry.

    Wow!!! Such a great introduction to the topic! I’ve always wanted a simple breakdown like this, but still so rich with info. Woo hoo. Thank you Sir!!

    Fantastic video. Something I appreciated was that you got right into the content. This video is 31 minutes long with 30 minutes of useful information.

    Excellent explanation, This makes sense now, having things that have been confusing for so many years, and never really taking the time to get educated on it, your video has educated me in less time then imagined it would take, and the knowledge seems thorough. Thank you

    Thank you for furthering my education in pneumatics.

    Very helpful explanation, thank you! That shed light on many things about threads for me.

    thank you for that video, I'm taking an engineering class and I'm prototyping with a pneumatic cylinder. The cylinder fittings have been so confusing, and when I finally ordered it, I remembered in a video by Fright Props that he used a pressure regulator thing. This video cleared up so much.

    Thank you James for the Video and yes I have found in the past of the different configurations of pipe thread and hyd fitting e.g. ISO or SAE or Sometimes proprietary threads.

    Exhaust port silencers also serve another purpose and that is to isolate the valve spool from debris.

    I appreciate the minutiae of something that can tend to be overlooked and simplified. Thanks
