Säätösolenoidi

Säätösolenoidi, or control solenoid in English, is a type of solenoid valve specifically designed for regulating the flow of a fluid or gas. Unlike a simple on-off solenoid, a säätösolenoid allows for proportional control, meaning the degree to which the valve opens or closes can be continuously adjusted. This precise control is achieved through various mechanisms, often involving a pilot valve system or a movable core that is positioned according to an electrical control signal. The position of the core determines the amount of fluid or gas that can pass through the valve.

Säätösolenoidit are crucial components in many automated systems where precise fluid or gas management is required. Applications can be found in industrial automation, robotics, medical equipment, and automotive systems. For example, in a climate control system, a säätösolenoid might regulate the flow of refrigerant to maintain a specific temperature. In manufacturing, they can be used to control the speed of pneumatic actuators or to precisely meter fluids in chemical processes. The control signal is typically an analog voltage or current, which is then translated into a corresponding valve opening. This allows for sophisticated feedback loops and dynamic adjustments based on sensor readings. The design aims for responsiveness and accuracy in maintaining desired flow rates.
