  • Patent number: 10753502
    Abstract: A circuit shut-off solenoid valve for a solenoid valve system can be directly integrated in a solenoid valve system without use of an auxiliary base module and can be interchangeable with any solenoid valve in the system. The circuit shut-off solenoid valve allows for modification of the flow rate of compressed air into the solenoid valve.

  • Patent number: 10400908
    Abstract: The invention describes a system which has a solenoid valve and a base provided with one or more housings adapted for receiving a single solenoid valve. Each solenoid valve and each housing of the base has a respective compressed air inlet ducts, first compressed air delivery ducts, second compressed air delivery ducts, first air discharge ducts and second air discharge ducts. The respective ducts are placed in fluid connection with one another. Each solenoid valve is provided with an air slide valve, configured to selectively place in fluid connection the ducts of the solenoid valve. The air slide valve consists of a single spool movable with reciprocating motion along a predefined direction. Each base is provided with a Y-shaped coupling, configured to connect the first compressed air delivery duct of the base and the second compressed air delivery duct of the base, so as to convey the compressed air towards a single outlet hole.

  • Patent number: 7210393
    Abstract: A progressive-starting unit for pneumatic circuits comprises a line inlet and a line outlet interconnected with each other by a regulating valve that is piloted by a pneumatic piloting inlet. The piloting inlet is controlled by the outlet of a progressive-starting device having an inlet connected upstream of said regulating valve. In this manner a progressive-starting unit is obtained which is insensitive to the conditions downstream of its line outlet.
