2. Air-operated valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air-operated_valve

   An air-operated valve, also known as a pneumatic valve, is a type of power-operated pipe valve that uses air pressure to perform a function similar to a solenoid. As air pressure is increased, the compressed air starts to push against the piston or diaphragm walls which causes the valve to actuate. Whether the valve opens or closes depends on ...

3. Parker Hannifin - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parker_Hannifin

   During World War II, Parker experienced a boom in business as the U.S. Air Force's primary supplier of valves and fluid connectors. [7] By 1943, the firm employed 5,000 Cleveland , Ohio, residents. After Arthur Parker's death in 1945 [ 10 ] and the end of the war, the company neared bankruptcy due to the sudden drop in demand.

4. Air-line fitting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air-line_fitting

   Pneumatic tool attached using a coupling. A coupled pair consists of a male nipple or plug and a female coupler or socket. One side is connected to a flexible supply hose; the other may be attached to a manifold, valve, tool, or another hose. A female coupler is used on the supply side, and a male nipple is used on the receiving side.

5. Valve actuator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_actuator

   Air (or other gas) pressure is the power source for pneumatic valve actuators. [1] They are used on linear or quarter-turn valves. Air pressure acts on a piston or bellows diaphragm creating linear force on a valve stem. Alternatively, a quarter-turn vane-type actuator produces torque to provide rotary motion to operate a quarter-turn valve.

6. Shuttle valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuttle_valve

   Air pilot control: converting from air to oil results in locking of the cylinder. Shifting the four-way valve to either extreme position applies the air pilot through the shuttle valve, holding the two air-operated valves open and applying oil under air pressure to the corresponding side of the cylinder. Positioning a manual valve to neutral ...

7. Control valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_valve

   Manual valve: Actuated by hand wheel; Pneumatic valve: Actuated using a compressible medium like air, hydrocarbon, or nitrogen, with a spring diaphragm, piston cylinder or piston-spring type actuator; Hydraulic valve: Actuated by a non-compressible medium such as water or oil; Electric valve: Actuated by an electric motor
