Introduction

The JSG Series Solenoid Valve is a pneumatic control valve designed to control the direction and flow of compressed air in automated pneumatic systems.

By converting an electrical signal into pneumatic action, the JSG Series provides fast and reliable control of pneumatic cylinders, actuators and other air-powered equipment. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, including industrial automation, assembly machinery, packaging equipment, material handling systems and production lines.

With a compact structure, reliable switching performance and flexible configuration options, the JSG Series is a practical solution for modern pneumatic control systems.

JSG Series Solenoid Valve

Product Type: Pneumatic Solenoid Valve
Medium: Compressed Air
Control: Electrical / Solenoid Control
Application: Industrial Automation & Pneumatic Systems

[Product Main Image – JSG Series Solenoid Valve]

The JSG Series can be installed between the compressed-air supply and pneumatic actuator to control the actuator's movement.

When the solenoid coil receives an electrical signal, the valve changes its internal flow path, allowing compressed air to enter or exhaust from the corresponding port.

How Does a JSG Solenoid Valve Work?

The basic working principle of a pneumatic solenoid valve is relatively simple.

Step 1 – Electrical Signal

A controller such as a PLC sends an electrical signal to the solenoid coil.

Step 2 – Electromagnetic Action

The energized coil generates a magnetic field that moves the internal armature or valve mechanism.

Step 3 – Airflow Switching

The valve changes the connection between the supply, working and exhaust ports.

Step 4 – Actuator Movement

Compressed air is directed to the appropriate side of a pneumatic cylinder or actuator, causing it to extend or retract.

Step 5 – Return

When the electrical signal changes or is removed, the valve returns to its designated position according to its configuration.

This electrical-to-pneumatic conversion allows automated equipment to control mechanical movement quickly and repeatedly.

For automated production equipment, a solenoid valve provides a significant advantage because the pneumatic circuit can be controlled electronically without requiring manual operation.

Typical Applications

The JSG Series can be used in various pneumatic automation systems.

1. Industrial Automation

JSG solenoid valves can control pneumatic cylinders and actuators on automated production lines.

Typical functions:

  • Component positioning

  • Product pushing

  • Clamping

  • Sorting

  • Feeding

  • Lifting

2. Packaging Machinery

The valve can control pneumatic mechanisms used for:

  • Product positioning

  • Packaging movement

  • Cutting mechanisms

  • Pushing systems

  • Automatic feeding

3. Assembly Equipment

In automated assembly machines, the JSG Series can control cylinders responsible for positioning and clamping components.

4. Material Handling

The valve can be used to control pneumatic actuators in conveying, transferring and sorting equipment.

5. Pick-and-Place Systems

The JSG Series can control pneumatic cylinders used to move components between different positions.

Typical Pneumatic Control System

A typical pneumatic automation system can be arranged as:

Air Compressor → Air Preparation → Solenoid Valve → Pneumatic Cylinder → Mechanical Load

For example:

↓

Air Filter / Regulator

↓

JSG Solenoid Valve

↓

Pneumatic Cylinder

↓

Mechanical Movement

The air preparation components help provide clean and properly regulated compressed air, while the JSG solenoid valve controls the actuator.

For stable operation, appropriate tubing, fittings, flow-control valves and pressure regulators should also be selected according to the application.

How to Select the Right JSG Solenoid Valve

Choosing the correct solenoid valve requires more than simply selecting the same port size as the cylinder.

1. Determine the Valve Function

First confirm whether the application requires a:

  • 3/2-way valve

  • 5/2-way valve

  • 5/3-way valve

  • Single-solenoid configuration

  • Double-solenoid configuration

The correct configuration depends on the actuator and required control method.

2. Confirm the Working Pressure

Check the available compressed-air pressure and make sure it falls within the specified operating range of the selected valve.

3. Select the Correct Port Size

Port size should be selected according to the required airflow, tubing size and actuator requirements.

4. Confirm Coil Voltage

Common industrial control voltages may include:

  • 12 VDC

  • 24 VDC

  • 110 VAC

  • 220 VAC

24 VDC is widely used in industrial automation control systems, but the correct voltage should always match the machine's electrical control circuit.

5. Calculate Required Flow

The valve should provide sufficient airflow for the cylinder to achieve the required operating speed.

An undersized valve may restrict airflow and reduce actuator performance.

6. Check Installation Requirements

Before ordering, confirm:

  • Valve dimensions

  • Mounting method

  • Port position

  • Manifold requirements

  • Electrical connector

  • Available installation space

What Are the Advantages of Using a Solenoid Valve with a Pneumatic Cylinder?

A solenoid valve allows the pneumatic cylinder to be controlled electrically.

For example:

PLC ON → Solenoid Valve Switches → Cylinder Extends

PLC OFF / Signal Changes → Valve Switches → Cylinder Retracts

This makes the combination ideal for automated machinery where movement needs to be synchronized with sensors, timers or PLC programs.

JSG Series Maintenance Recommendations

Proper air quality and installation are important for maintaining stable valve performance.

Use Clean Compressed Air

Use an appropriate air filtration system to reduce contamination entering the valve.

Maintain Suitable Pressure

Operate the valve within the recommended pressure range.

Check Electrical Connections

Regularly inspect the solenoid coil, connector and wiring for loose connections or damage.

Check Air Leakage

Inspect pneumatic fittings and tubing if abnormal pressure loss or actuator performance occurs.

Keep the System Clean

Dust, moisture and oil contamination can affect pneumatic components if the air preparation system is not properly maintained.
