Challenge:

A manufacturer of automotive lift devices contacted Pneumadyne to re-design a component used in their pneumatic circuit. Their previous valve consisted of four plastic components which were prone to breaking in the device. Although simple in design, the valve had to control the amount of flow allowed into the lift in order to control the speed of the lift.Bimba_Bulkhead_Blog2.pngRequirements:
