AIRCOM sensor technology

Contact sensors (or micro-switches) are used to identify the position of a body whether it is in position 1 (open) or 2 (closed). It exploits the contact of a lever on a moving/rotating body.

Capacitive sensors are electronic transducers that provide an output signal when any solid or liquid material (wood, metal, plastic, water, alcohol, etc.) enters their sensitive area, even without necessarily coming into contact with it. They can be used for passage control, piece counting, level control for liquids or powdered and granular solids.

Proximity magnetic sensors are designed to detect the position of the piston in pneumatic cylinders. When they are exposed to the magnetic field produced by the piston magnet, the sensors close (if normally open) or open (if normally closed) an electrical circuit, generating a signal useful for directly controlling a solenoid valve or a PLC card. A yellow or red LED diode signals the switching of the sensor.

A monostable 5/2 (5-way and 2-position) solenoid valve has a balanced position that corresponds to the rest position, i.e., not powered. When powered, it activates by moving to the second position, and when power is cut off, it returns to the rest position.

Manual-operated valves are directional control valves that are actuated (opened or closed) via a manual lever. They do not require electrical power but need to be connected to the pneumatic line of the structure.

A monostable 5/2 (5-way and 2-position) solenoid valve has a balanced position that corresponds to the rest position, i.e., not powered. When powered, it activates by moving to the second position, and when power is cut off, it returns to the rest position.

Electrically operated valves are directional control valves that are actuated (opened or closed) via an electrical current. Also, they must be connected to the pneumatic line of the structure.

A bistable 5/2 (5-way and 2-position) solenoid valve has both positions that are balanced. Therefore, when a valve is powered, it reverses the position it was in and maintains the new configuration, even when power is cut off.

Electrically operated valves are directional control valves that are actuated (opened or closed) via an electrical current. Also, they must be connected to the pneumatic line of the structure.

The actuation control, in the case of a solenoid valve, consists of an electrical current that, by generating a magnetic field through a solenoid, causes the movement of a ferrous metal rod, which acts by changing the position of the valve.

We provide various control models depending on the control requirement or the type of application (if it is necessary to comply with CE directives 2014/34/eu).

Below are the different voltage availabilities listed:

• 24, 110, 220 V AC
• 24 V DC
