Maintaining complex systems in the OEM industry can oftentimes be a challenge, particularly when something goes wrong that causes automatic systems to leak.

Emerson (EMR) has agreed on terms to acquire Aventics from Triton for a cash purchase price of EUR 527M. Aventics provides smart pneumatics technologies that power machine and factory automation applications.

SMC Corporation, a global pneumatics manufacturing company with US headquarters in Noblesville, Indiana, has introduced its range of VP544/744-X555/585 dual residual pressure release valves with soft start-up function, designed to meet ISO13849-1 standards for safety.

US-based AutomationDirect’s line of NITRA pneumatics now includes two additional series of valves and manifolds. The BVS-3 series modular solenoid valves are body ported 3-port (3-way) poppet valves available in 2-position, normally open or normally closed configurations with 12VDC, 24VDC or 120VAC coils.

With the launch of the new ES05 Essential Valve System series, Aventics – with offices in Brazil, Canada and the US - now offers a user-friendly solution for applications with standard requirements in industrial automation.

Pneumatic valves are positioned as close to actuators as possible, because shorter tubing lengths reduce the required compressed air by up to 20%.
