Abstract: A diaphragm-type solenoid valve has a valve body 3 fixed onto a base, a diaphragm 4 for opening and closing a valve seat 13 provided to an inner end of a second port 12, a plate 5 for forming a driving chamber 14 between the plate 5 and the diaphragm sandwiched between the plate 5 and the valve body 3, and a pilot valve 6 for supplying pilot fluid pressure to the driving chamber 14. In the diaphragm, a disc 20 is encapsulated in a portion facing the port 12, a sealing rib 21 corresponding to the valve seat is provided, and cushion projecting portions 22 and 23 for coming in contact with cushion receiving portions 32 and 33 of the plate 5 in valve opening are formed behind the portion where the disc is encapsulated.

Abstract: A dual piston pilot valve includes a housing forming first and second cylinders. A first spool is moveable in the first cylinder for engaging the a piston to effect movement of the first piston and a second spool is moveable in the second cylinder for engaging a second piston to effect movement of the second piston. The valve further includes a single pressurized fluid supply port communicating with both the first and second cylinders, a first output port communicating with the first cylinder, a second output port communicating with the second cylinder, a single exhaust port communicating with both the first and second cylinders, and a diaphragm engaging the housing and both the first and second pistons. The diaphragm is positioned between both the first and second spools and both the first and second seal regions of the first and second pistons to effect a seal between the single exhaust port and the first and second spools.
