Case Study
Krytox™ fluoropolymer lubricants reduced damage claims for a Korean valve manufacturer
For Pilot-Type Solenoid Valve Applications A 5-Port Pilot-Type Solenoid Valve Application Electromagnetic force causes the spools in the solenoid assembly to move to the left and right, reciprocally (see Figure 1). The fast movement creates friction. Pressure is gauged at 0.1–0.7 MPa (1–7.1 kgf), and the response time is less than 12–38 ms. The Challenge The valve manufacturer had the following requirements: • Guarantee cycle operation o
