Atlas Air Compressor Solenoid Valve 1089045110 for Industrial Use
Solenoid Valve Product Overview
Definition and Function
A solenoid valve is an electromechanically controlled valve that regulates fluid flow (liquids, gases, steam) by using an electromagnetic coil to actuate a plunger or piston mechanism. When energized, the magnetic field moves the plunger to open or close the valve orifice, providing rapid, reliable flow control in automated systems.
