Thread: solenoid and regulator question?

Tweet

hey everyone i recently had a solenoid issue and am in need of a new one i dont want to spend much but need the following. at least a 3 way solenoid for air in and air out as well as silencer for exhaust and id like an eaxtra port for a regulator? can anyone tell mie how i can do this or even modify a cheaper solenoid? a link would help but would like to keep it on the cheaper end!
Thanks,
Chris

I am a little confused by your question. The regulator is typically in line between your air compressor and your solenoid. You are losing me when you are saying you need an extra port. Did you mean you need an extra port on your regulator for a gauge ?

no i want a regulator on each prop? so that i can adjust how much air goes to it? is that possible?

Yes & if you are running more than one prop, then you should. Each prop needs it's own air pressure to move at it's own speed.

You are talking about a flow control valve. Generally they are to adjust the flow in one direction. They do not effect the PSI. Just the speed of the actuator. You do not need another port. As far as exhaust. Are you looking to control the exhaust or silence it? As I told you. The monsterguts 3 way solenoid is not easy to install a silencer on the exhaust port.

You can easily run a regulator for each separate prop in your display (which you should) and you can even use multiple regulators on the same prop. I did that on my spider rig since the main cylinder was much larger than the rest of the control cylinders. My regulators all had in/out ports which made then very easy to gang together. I did eventually add a flow control to the exhaust of my main cylinder so the spider would creep back into his lair.

bascially i have my butcher thrashing prop in the other thread but dpeneding on its violent thrashing i want to be able to adjust it easily so i want to know hw to add a regulator onto this slenoid:
