Abstract: Embodiments of the motor driven valve 100 are suitable for selectively allowing or restricting fluid flow through a cavity, orifice, passageway, etc. Generally described, the motor driven valve 100 includes a motor 120, a pintle valve 140 drivenly connected to the motor 120 through a transmission assembly 160, and a casing 102 that houses at least one of the aforementioned components of the motor driven valve 100.

Abstract: A first normally open solenoid valve “A” is connected to passageway (32). A second normally open solenoid valve “B” is connected to a passageway (36). A latching valve (24) includes a valve spool chamber (26) and a valve spool (50) within the chamber. An air-delivery conduit (20) delivers pressurized air to both a first passageway (32) and a second passageway (36). Passageway (32) is connected to one end of the valve spool chamber (26). Passageway (36) is connected to the opposite end of the valve spool chamber (26). The valve spool (50) has two positions. In the first position, passageway (32) is connected with a passageway (40) that extends to an air-operated device (44). Flow through the valve (24) to and from passageway (36) is blocked. In the second position, flow from passageway (32) to passageway (40) is blocked. Also, flow through the valve (24) to and from passageway (36) is blocked.
