Right now, in my quest to make a electropneumatic valve for the Automag, I am stuck on a few things. One of which is choice of solenoid - so many options!
Does anyone know what the weight of sliding a spool is? I realize spool weight is variable depending on the design and gun, but here are some facts about mine:
Spool sleeve (bore) Diameter: .20"-.35"
2-3 orings of an unknown material sealing tight enough to hold 200-400psi.
The design should be pneumatically balanced in the open and closed positions, so there will no forces from the pressures. Only forces should be from the friction/tension of orings.
What kind of oring material should I use anyhow? Do you guys think that both a Stainless spool and stainless valve body matreials would work well together?
