Assured Automation\u2019s product specialist suggested they use the <a href=\"\/VA\/index.php\">VA Series<\/a> compact pneumatically controlled on\/off valve, spring to close mounted on a manifold.<\/p>\n<p>This <a href=\"\/compact-valves\/index.php\">compact automated valve<\/a> was selected due to its higher Cv (flow coefficient) compared to solenoid valves.&nbsp; The VA Series combines a pneumatic actuator and fast on-off control valve into one body, eliminating packing glands, actuators and mounting kits.&nbsp; Since the actuator is part of the valve, costs are greatly reduced when compared to standard actuated valves. Operating life has been tested to well over <strong>1,000,000 cycles<\/strong> and the balanced design reduces friction and wear. The stroke is linear and parallel to the flow, dramatically reducing the required force to close or open the valve. The internal waterway design was designed for optimum flow characteristics.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3149\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3149\" style=\"width: 322px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a title=\"VA Compact Automated Valve Demo\" href=\"\/VA\/index.php?p=demo\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3149\" src=\"\/news-and-training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/VA-demo1.jpg\" alt=\"Watch VA Demo\" width=\"322\" height=\"173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assuredautomation.com\/news-and-training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/VA-demo1.jpg 322w, https:\/\/assuredautomation.com\/news-and-training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/VA-demo1-300x161.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 322px) 100vw, 322px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3149\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Watch VA Compact Automated Valve Demo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The VA\u2019s were successfully mounted on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smartflow-usa.com\/aluminum_manifolds.html\">Smartflow aluminum manifold <\/a>which was located close to the PLC control panel.
