Two-way three-way rocker solenoid valve introduction
Baodi rocker solenoid valves (types 6104 and 6106) can be used for compressed air, and all three ports are inside the valve body. This solenoid valve can also be used as a pilot valve for pneumatic valves. The rocker arm will alternately close the seat 1 (compressed air inlet P) and the seat 2 (exhaust port R) in a similar manner to the pivoting armature solenoid valve (see Figure 4). Two three-way rocker solenoid valves are available with and without isolation diaphragms.
advantage:
■ The moving parts are lighter in weight
■ Three interfaces on one plane
■ Media isolated solenoid valve available
■ Less expensive
■ Long service life
■ Compact structure
■ Small
coil power
■ High efficiency
■ Available in explosion-proof (intrinsically safe) type
Disadvantages:
■ Use only DC power. If alternating current is to be used, a rectifier must be connected in series with the
coil
■ Isolation diaphragm has a small pressure range
■ Low inlet pressure (maximum 10 bar)
