A coupple Pneumatic questions

[AGDlover]

OK guys I was about to order some of the last things for my Pneumatic frame and when I was looking for the MSV-1(which i found Here (http://www2.catalognavigator.com/airinc/item/specialty-valves-acc-/special-purpose-valves/msv-1?plpver=1001&origin=viewitems&by=prod&assetid=spec&filter=0) ) I came accrost the MSV-2A which to me looked simular to a Micro switch MSV-2A (http://www2.catalognavigator.com/airinc/item/specialty-valves-acc-/special-purpose-valves/msv-2a?&plpver=1001&origin=viewitems&by=prod&assetid=spec&filter=0) Now will this function like the MSV-1 but just as a micro switch?
Thanks AO

The valves function the same. The MSV-2A just has a roller cam actuator attached. It's not a microswitch.

ok thanks but it works sumular to a micro switch?

Other that it doesn't complete an electrical circuit, yeah, it works similar.

actually , its the exact same valve but with a cam roller fitted on it ... the dimentions are the same as the msv1
but one thing i noticed indescription ....
Therefore, it does not have a 100% seal on the actuating stem. This means that, while the valve is held actuated (and only then), there is a slight bleed to atmosphere around the stem

can that make you lose a little too much air ?? :D

Your probably going to have to contact the company in regards to what slight means, however my guess is that it is next to nothing. I doubt you would be able to hear it if they just say slight.

Now the next question which might already be answered somewhere else is what pressure is required to actuate that little 3 way valve.
