Q?: Pneumatic Solenoids

Morning All,

Does anyone know where i can get some of these relatively cheaply?

They are 12Vdc Pneumatic Solenoids. They need to be reliable and good quality.







Kindest Regards,
Richard.

here? I don't know what their prices are like but if you are going to be using them for what I think you are (I recognise the photo) then I wouldn't scrimp on quality to save a couple of £!!
We normally use a company called Flowtech for solenoid valves (along with other stuff) but the proper catalogue is a lot easier to find things in than their website.

Loads cheap on ebay.

If they fail they will only give you a laugh





You'd be surprised how quickly the sales people at B&Q try and assist you after ignoring you for the past 15 minutes when you try and start a chainsaw

Unless it's the one controlling the extra fuel

You will find similar hydraulic setups on tail lifts on lorries. may not be what you are looking for but another option perhaps.





If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

Yes it is for nitrous. Ive also got a wiring diagram for a controller.

Why does reducing the coil to 6V help in any way???

i had i right game trying to get them to seal and hold the pressure, in the end i got some valves off ebay. what sort of controller is it you have the schematics for. i built a adjustable timer to pluse the jets on a dial that worked good. but the price on a refill killed it for me 70 quid to fill the bottle and it lasted me 2 days (just).
