What's the difference between solenoid valve and electric valve?

Oct 24, 2019

The difference between solenoid valve and electric valve is distinguished by the following aspects:


(1) switch type


SMC solenoid valve wholesale is driven by coil, and the action time is short when switching. The electric valve is driven by the motor, and the action needs a certain time.


(2) nature of work


Micro solenoid valve wholesale flow coefficient is very small, and its working pressure difference is also very small, so it is mainly used in the small flow and small pressure of the workplace, otherwise it should use electric valve.


In the electric valve, the opening of the valve can be controlled, while the solenoid valve can not.


Generally, the solenoid valve can be reset automatically after power failure, while the electric valve does not have this function. If you want to have one, you need to add a reset device.


(3) applicable process


Generally speaking, solenoid valve wholesale is suitable for some special process requirements. And the electric valve, is generally used for regulation, but also has the switching value.
