Replacing the on/off valve with an electro mechanical solenoid?

[wjr]

Some of the poppet talk, and rear solenoids instantly reminded me of the PGI Mayhem. Blow forward design that was searless, and had the bolt reset by a spring. Nice design really. Very simple. Just handicapped by a terrible board.

If i'm not very much mistaken, the mayhem wasn't a blowforward. I pretty sure that it worked something like this

Don't worry. I'm backing away. Just wanted to mention that it reminded me. Sorry for the interruption.

Just read this thread ... I don't get out much..

First, no pneumatic solenoid that will fit will hold 350-450 psi. or 1000 in an X-valve.
Second the sear must hold back the bolt with chamber pressure pushing on it.


Ok my thoughts .... make the on off assembly a ram (pneumatic cylinder) or just use air on the bottom side of the pin to push it up.

the sear could become a pin on a cylinder the pulls out of the way when the ram closes the air flow and then release the bolt.

need to think about it more but just a start ..and it would work on X-valves too

Here's how I'm going about removing the on/off...

^ looks awesome

isnt that pretty much a matrix?

closer to a FEP qeust actually.

How close are you to making this a working model?
