Sound Dampening Print this page

Rapid encroachment of the metallic pole faces also makes solenoid valves noisy for some applications. Sometimes these sounds serve as a means of feedback, verifying to the user that the valve has responded to an input command. Insertion of the tubing eliminates much of the noise accompanying closure, as the plunger first must compress the tubing before encountering its mechanical limit.

Acro offers options for noise sensitive applications. To minimize noise associated with opening, we can employ a dampening pad between the contacting surfaces or a motion-dampening dashpot, which quiets a valve by slowing it down.
