A metering edge is arranged coaxially with the stem to control fluid flow from the outer supply pressure chamber to an actuator chamber. Means are provided to stabilize the supply pressure in the inner chamber against sudden pressure drops in the outer supply pressure chamber.

Waterway switch switching valve and its switching method and a waterway switch valve for a bathtub

The invention provides a waterway switch switching valve, which comprises: valve body, main control valve core and waterway control valve core; the valve body comprises a water inlet channel, a first water outlet and a second water outlet, the number of waterway control valve core corresponds to the number of water outlets one by one, and is divided into the first and second waterway control valve core; the first waterway control valve core and the second waterway control valve core are respectively installed in the valve body; The valve body also comprises a first waterway arranged between the water inlet channel and the first waterway control valve core; and a second waterway between the first waterway control valve core and the second waterway control valve core; when the first waterway control valve core is opened, the first waterway control valve core connects the first waterway with the first water outlet; when the first waterway control valve core is closed, the first waterway control valve core connects the first waterway with the second waterway; when the second waterway control valve core is opened, the second waterway communicates with the second water outlet. The above waterway switch switching valve ensures that there is only one waterway discharge water at most.

Valve system for pneumatic cylinders

A valve system for use with a cylinder having an extensible rod, includes first and second valve assemblies, each including an inlet/outlet port configured to selectively be coupled with a source of pressurized gas, a check valve biased toward a closed state and having a check valve body at least partially receivable within a first port of the cylinder, a flow control valve positioned in series between the inlet/outlet port and the check valve, and an inlet pilot port connected with the check valve for opening the check valve when supplied with pressurized gas. First and second pilot lines extend to the respective inlet pilot ports from respective outlet pilot ports of the opposite ones of the first and second valve assemblies. When pressurized gas is supplied to the inlet/outlet port of a valve assembly, pressurized gas is also supplied to the opposite inlet pilot port.
