MAC VALVES INC. has earned a reputation as an innovator in solenoid air valve technology as is evidenced by our numerous global
patents.
MAC’s designs focus on offering customers the best performing products available on the market. Some of the key features MAC’s
products offer are:
- reliability - compact packaging
- speed - modularity
- repeatability - specific application modifications
- non lube service - low wattage
- ease of maintenance - broad electrical options
Many of these performance advantages are based on MAC’s high shifting forces. MAC’s patended oval shaped armature solenoid
and 4-way pilot technologies are two new concepts which result in extremely high shifting forces in small packages.
The patented Latching Solenoid is another new offering to the MAC product line. The latching solenoid provides the function of a
double solenoid operated valve utilizing only one solenoid.
I. OVAL SHAPED ARMATURE SOLENOID – Maximized Shifting Forces
Compared with typical round armature solenoids, the oval shaped armature design results in much higher shifting forces due to the
following:
• Increased coil windings (amp turns)
• Increased core iron volume
With more amp turns and core iron than conventional round armature designs, more shifting force is available to shift through
contaminated air resulting in reliable shifting valves.
