Abstract: A plurality of vacuum suction cylinders are connected to each other by using tie rods inserted into insertion holes penetrating side walls of a cylinder tube of each vacuum suction cylinder, insertion holes provided in a first flow path block, and insertion holes provided in a second flow path block, and sandwiching between the first flow path block and the second flow path block.

Abstract: An electromagnetic operation part of an electromagnetic valve includes a bobbin, a fixed iron core, a movable iron core, a return spring, a magnetic cover, and a magnetic plate. A coil is would around the bobbin. The fixed iron core and the movable iron core are housed in a bobbin hole extending through the bobbin. The return spring places the movable iron core back into an initial position. The magnetic cover covers the electromagnetic operation part. The magnetic plate provides magnetic coupling between the magnetic cover and the movable iron core. The fixed iron core has a spring housing hole extending within and through the fixed iron core. The return spring is housed in the spring housing hole. A proximal end of the return spring is in contact with the magnetic cover, and a distal end of the return spring is in contact with the movable iron core.

Abstract: A solenoid valve is formed by engaging locking protrusions with engagement holes and thereby joining a valve body and a magnetic cover to each other. A top wall of the magnetic cover is formed by a pair of bent portions that extend from a pair of respective sidewalls of the magnetic cover and that are bent toward the space between the sidewalls. The bent portions are fastened to each other in the width direction Wd by a circuit board spacer (first fastening member), and the circuit board spacer and the valve body are fastened to each other in the axial direction Ld by a connector cover.

Abstract: Enlarged holes are formed at respective end portions of a valve hole housing a spool by forming an upper recessed groove and a lower recessed groove at each end portion. The respective lower recessed grooves are in communication with discharge ports. The spool includes discharge lands and discharge packing portions, which open and close discharge passages connecting an output port and the discharge ports. When the discharge land and the discharge packing portion open the discharge passage by displacing of the spool, the discharge passage and the discharge port are in communication with each other through the enlarged hole by positioning the discharge land and the discharge packing portion inside the enlarged hole.

Abstract: Main channels are provided in a base body so as to pass through the base body in a direction of arranging valve mounting regions in a row. In addition, communicating openings are also provided in the base body so as to allow the main channels to communicate with a valve mounting surface that is the top surface of the base body. The communicating openings open at the valve mounting surface so as to cross the valve mounting regions, and silencers is installed in respective communicating openings so as to extend in the longitudinal direction of the communicating openings.

Abstract: A valve operating member includes a valve support portion, which supports a valve disk while allowing the valve disk to move relative to the valve operating member in a direction of an axis. An elastic member is disposed inside a valve chest. The elastic member constantly urges the valve disk toward the valve seat in the direction of the axis to cause the valve disk to be seated on the valve seat with an urging force. The valve support portion includes a valve engagement portion, which is engaged with an engaged portion of the valve disk seated on the valve seat, and separates the valve disk apart from the valve seat. When the valve disk is seated on the valve seat, the valve engagement portion is not in contact with the valve disk in the direction of the axis.
