Midget Type Direct Acting Solenoid Valve

Product Description

A midget type direct acting solenoid valve is a type of valve that is designed to be compact and lightweight, and is operated by an electromagnetic solenoid. The valve is "direct acting" in that the solenoid directly opens or closes the valve without the need for an external pressure source.

The term "midget" refers to the small size of the valve, which typically has a body diameter of 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch, and is used in applications where space is limited or weight is a concern. The valve is typically constructed of materials such as brass, stainless steel, or plastic, depending on the specific application and the type of fluid or gas being controlled.

The solenoid operates by using an electromagnetic coil to generate a magnetic field that moves a plunger or armature within the valve body, which in turn opens or closes the valve. The valve may be normally open (NO), normally closed (NC), or a 3-way configuration that can control the flow of fluid in two different directions.

Midget type direct acting solenoid valves are commonly used in a variety of applications where precise and rapid control of the flow of fluids or gases is required. Some common applications include medical and dental equipment, analytical instruments, fuel dispensing systems, and refrigeration and air conditioning systems.
