A pneumatic multi-valve device includes a housing (21) having a plurality of electromagnetic valve actuators (1), each having coil elements (2) arranged stationary in the housing (21), a core (4) arranged in the housing (21), and armature elements (24). The cores (4) each have a venting bore (5) connected to a venting collection channel (14) on the side of the cores (4) facing away from the connection housing side (23). The venting collection channel is connected to a venting opening (28) of the housing (21), which venting opening is arranged on a housing side different from the housing back side (25). The venting collection channel (14) is formed by a plurality of venting channel elements (13), which are connected to each other.

A solenoid valve assembly has a valve body in which a spool is slidably mounted and operated by a solenoid having a coil. A manifold member has a plurality of flow paths for supplying and discharging pressurized fluid to and from ports of the solenoid valve assembly. An intermediate block is interposed between the valve body and the manifold member. The intermediate block has a plurality of through holes for connecting ports of the manifold member to ports on the valve body. At least one sensor is housed in the intermediate block for sensing at least one of pressure and flow in at least one of the through holes.

A hydraulic valve includes an on/off seat-type main valve with two ports having a displaceable poppet for opening and closing the main flow channel; an on/off seat-type pilot valve with three ports, with a magnetomotive force producing coil, a magnetic circuit, and an anchor movable with the magnetomotive force produced by the coil; and a frame with required channels and spaces for the poppet and for the anchor. Closing the inlet channel displaces the poppet and opens the main flow channel. Opening the inlet channel forces the poppet to close the main channel. The anchor includes a frame with a first sealing element for closing the low-pressure outlet channel of the pilot valve and with a second sealing element for securing the closing of the high-pressure inlet channel of the pilot valve. The sealing surface of the second sealing element is movable in relation to the frame of the anchor.

The present disclosure relates to the field of fluid process systems and discloses a manifold system for fluid delivery. The system comprises a first set of Solenoid Operated Valves (SOVs), a second set of SOVs, a plurality of isolating valves, at least one first shuttle valve, and at least one redundant shuttle valve. Each set of SOVs includes at least two SOVs arranged in parallel. The SOVs together form a series-parallel redundancy. Each isolating valve is coupled to an SOV and facilitates hot swapping of that SOV. The redundant shuttle valves provide redundancy to the first shuttle valve and facilitate the flow of a fluid from each of the first set of SOVs to each of the second set of SOVs, thereby promoting system safety and availability.

A hydraulic block for redundancy of an electronic braking device may include: a block body having a motor mounting part to which a motor is coupled and a controller mounting part to which an ECU is coupled; hydraulic control ports formed on the block body, and connected to a first output line of a main braking device and a first hydraulic braking line, in order to perform hydraulic braking on ones of front wheels and rear wheels; drain ports formed on the block body, and connected to a second output line of the main braking device and a second hydraulic braking line, in order to reduce the pressure of the others; and a hydraulic circuit configured to form a flow path of operating fluid in the block body, and control the flow rates and pressures of operating fluids passing through the hydraulic control ports and the drain ports.

An automatically actuated shunt valve system opens and closes a passage between two chambers of a powered element operated by a power source. The shunt valve system includes a coupler connecting the powered element with the power source through two mating coupling elements. One of the coupling elements includes a valve contact and the other includes a shunt valve assembly. The shunt valve assembly includes a valve chamber connected with both chambers of the powered element, a valve element opening or closing a flow path between the conduits, and a shaft for moving the valve element. The shaft engages the valve contact to move the valve element to close the flow path when the coupling elements are mated together, and moves the valve element to open the flow path when the shaft disengages from the valve contact as the coupling elements are disconnected from one another.

The present invention relates to a fluid control device and a connector for the same. The connector includes a first unit and a second unit to form a connector in a particular shape. Thus, the connector and an adjacent connector can be stacked upon each other to allow simple disassembling. The present invention also provides a fluid control device including the connector.

An expandable solenoid system having a sequence controller assembly and at least two zone expander solenoid valve assemblies fastened in a staggered configuration. Each zone expander solenoid valve assembly has a zone expander solenoid and a flanged valve body assembly. The valve block has threaded bolt holes, unthreaded bolt holes, an output port, and a threaded pressure source port having an O-ring groove. The threaded bolt holes and the unthreaded bolt holes have different depths and are alternately positioned around a perimeter of the valve block. The first flanged valve body assembly is fastened to the second flanged valve body assembly and so on, in a staggered configuration, whereby respective zone expander solenoids are in a zigzag geometry and creating an expandable manifold.

A zoned fluid control system in a valve manifold system has a plurality of manifold blocks connected together and a plurality of control valves mounted to the manifold blocks with the control valves being electrically actuated and pilot pressure operated. The plurality of manifold blocks forms at least first and second separate pilot pressure passages of a respective first zone and second zone not connected to each other for supplying a respective first set and second set of control valves with independently controlled pilot pressure. A pilot supply valve selectively supplies pilot pressure and shuts off pilot pressure to the second pilot pressure passage without affecting the pilot pressure to the first pilot pressure passage thereby disabling the second set of control valves as a separate zone independent from the first set of control valves.

An electropneumatic control apparatus, which has a carrier module, on which a control unit, which is equipped with control electronics and control valve elements, and an expansion module assembly, which has at least one expansion module, are installed independently of each other. By means of a drive fastening interface, the control apparatus can be installed on the actuating drive to be controlled, in order to form a process control device.
