Abstract: A cylinder positioning system (1) comprising a control unit for a pneumatically driven cylinder (14) in a cylinder chamber is provided. The control unit comprising a controller configured to control a set of drive units of the cylinder positioning system. Each drive unit emits a drive current to a respective electromagnetic direct acting valve (9,10, 11, 12) of the cylinder positioning system. Each respective electromagnetic direct acting valve has a closing/opening time of less than 2 ms. The control unit is configured to receive a set position for the cylinder and an actual position for the cylinder, to compare the set position of the cylinder with the actual position of the cylinder and to emit control signals to the drive units to move the cylinder from the actual position towards the set position.

Abstract: A valve with a valve seat includes an inner path providing a first flow channel adapted to be in contact with a first chamber of the valve, the valve seat including at least one outer path also adapted to be in contact with the first chamber, the valve seat further including an area facing a sealing area of the valve, the area being adapted to be in connection with a second chamber, the area having an inner sealing edge and an outer sealing edge, and wherein the valve seat is adapted to allow for a flow between the first chamber and the second chamber when the valve is in an open position, where the flow in the inner path and the at least one outer path flow through the area in contact with the second chamber via the inner sealing edge and the outer sealing edge, respectively.
