Pneumatic Actuation Accessories

At Pipestock, we offer a range of high-quality pneumatic actuation accessories designed to enhance the functionality and efficiency of your pneumatic systems. Our selection includes mechanical switch boxes and Namur solenoid valves, essential components for ensuring precise control and reliable operation of pneumatic actuators.

Product Range

  • Mechanical Switch Boxes: These devices are used to provide feedback on the position of a valve, indicating whether it is open, closed, or in an intermediate position. Mechanical switch boxes are critical for process monitoring and control, ensuring accurate and reliable operation.
  • Namur Solenoid Valves: Namur solenoid valves are used to control the flow of air to pneumatic actuators. They are designed to mount directly onto the actuator, providing efficient and compact control. These valves are essential for automated systems, allowing precise control over actuator movements.

What is a Mechanical Switch Box & What is it Used For?

A mechanical switch box is a device mounted on a pneumatic actuator that provides feedback on the valve's position. It contains mechanical switches that are triggered by the actuator's movement, indicating whether the valve is open, closed, or in an intermediate position.

Uses:

  1. Position Indication: Provides visual or electrical indication of the valve position, essential for process control and monitoring​​.
  2. Automation Integration: Integrates with automated control systems, allowing remote monitoring and operation of valves​​.
  3. Safety: Ensures accurate feedback to prevent incorrect valve operation, enhancing system safety and reliability​​.

What is a Namur Solenoid Valve & What is it Used For?

A Namur solenoid valve is a type of solenoid valve designed to be directly mounted onto pneumatic actuators. The term "Namur" refers to a standard for actuator and valve interfaces, ensuring compatibility across different manufacturers.

Uses:

  1. Flow Control: Regulates the flow of air to the pneumatic actuator, allowing precise control of the actuator's movement​​​​.
  2. Automation: Essential for automated systems, enabling remote control and operation of valves​​.
  3. Compact Design: Designed for direct mounting onto actuators, providing a compact and efficient solution for pneumatic control systems​​.
