Various industries utilize direct acting solenoid valves.

In this configuration, the primary valve seal is opened and closed by the inlet pressure. When the plunger opens and closes a pilot orifice, the solenoid valve is considered pilot-operated. When the plunger opens and closes the orifice within the valve directly, the PTFE Solenoid Valve is said to be direct-acting. De-energizing the coil allows an internal spring to return the valve to its natural state.Īt iPolymer, we provide high quality PTFE Solenoid Valves for our customers. This magnetic field actuates the coil armature, which in turn actuates the valve plunger. Electrical current flowing through the coil windings creates a magnetic field. The coil is as traditional direct acting electro-mechanic device. The operation of a PTFE Solenoid Valve includes an electrical current running through the coil which actuates the coil armature and opens the valve internal plunger. These devices are electromechanical in nature and control the flow of gas or liquid.

A device used to manage valve activation is referred to as a solenoid.
