What Is a Solenoid Valve?
The solenoid valve generates magnetic force through electricity, and then uses the magnetic force to lift the closing member to control the opening or closing of the valve body. The solenoid valve is small in size, generally 3/8″ to 2″. If you need a larger size, you can customize it, but the cost is higher.
Advantages Of Solenoid Valve
The speed of open/close is very fast and within 0.5 seconds
Small size, can be used to control fluid in various automated machinery
Many styles. By changing the design of the coil or valve seat, it can have the characteristics of corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, high pressure resistance, waterproof and so on
Simple structure, low maintenance cost
In order to ensure the efficient use of the solenoid valve, we recommend that the solenoid valve work continuously for less than 30 minutes, and it is recommended that the solenoid valve be installed horizontally.
What Is a Miniature Motorized Ball Valve?
The small motorized valve converts electrical energy into power, and uses the motor to drive the sphere to rotate, thereby controlling the opening or closing of the valve. The small motorized valve is small in size and can save installation space.
Advantages Of Miniature Motorized Ball Valve
Can work for a long time up to 99 hours
Different functions can be realized by changing the wiring mode, such as time control type, automatic reset type, adjustment type, etc.
Small size, can be used in various automation equipment and projects
No requirement for installation location
The Difference Between Solenoid Valve And Fine Small Electric Valve
Switching time: solenoid valve switching time is within 0.5 seconds, small motorized valve switching time is within 1-5 seconds
Body structure: The valve body structure of the solenoid valve is a shut-off type, while the valve body structure of the small motorized valve is a ball type
Function: The function of the solenoid valve is to open and close. In addition to opening and closing, the fine small motorized valve can also adjust the flow rate.
All in all, the small motorized valve and the solenoid valve have a complementary relationship. If some parameters of the solenoid valve cannot meet the requirements of your project, then you can consider using a small motorized valve.
