Applications

Humphrey Products has manufactured pneumatic and solenoid valves for industrial automation and fluid control since the 1940s. The VA250 series air pilot valves are used in pneumatic circuits where electrically controlled direction of airflow or vacuum is required. The 2-3 way configuration allows the valve to connect, disconnect, or redirect a pneumatic signal from a supply port to one of two working ports, making it suitable for applications such as vacuum pick-and-place systems, small pneumatic actuator control, laboratory automation, and machine tool sequencing. The 0–29 inch Hg pressure range is specifically suited for vacuum service rather than positive pressure pneumatic lines. The intermittent duty rating means the coil must be de-energized between cycles to prevent overheating, which is standard for many solenoid valves used in cyclical automation equipment.
