Thomas Compressor
Battery operated - shown with Norgren Relief Valve installed in upper photoMore Info in
pdf® format |
 |
Norgren 16-004 Relief Valve
Used to relieve excess pressure from the compressor. The
pressure switch should be used to start and stop the compressor. The relief
valve is a safety backup.

Nason
Pressure Switch Used to send signals to
controller to start and stop the compressor |
 |
Clippard Tanks Used to lessen pulsations and
store reserve air (energy).
Long lengths of tubing add additional storage capacity.
|
new addition
Voltage output proportional to input pressure.

Texas
Instruments
5CP3-7
Pressure Transducer
gives an output based on the input pressure. It could be used to
monitor system pressure as shown in the pneumatic schematic or to monitor an
individual circuit. |
 |
Norgren R07 Regulator
with gauge More Info in
pdf format
Regulators are used for pressure control. Changing pressure changes the force of the
actuator.
Force = Pressure x Area |
 |
Monnier Regulator with
bracket
Regulators are used for pressure control. Changing pressure changes the force of the
actuator.
Force = Pressure x Area
The Monnier regulator should be downstream of the Norgren regulator

One linear actuator is included in the
kit. You may order up to three additional at no charge. One of those may be
a rotary actuator and the added cylinders can be equipped with reed
position sensing
switches and magnetic pistons. |

Valves

Single solenoids stay shifted as long as
current is applied to the solenoid. Double solenoids need only a momentary
signal to shift and stay shifted until an opposing signal on the opposite
coil is applied. All
valves are internally piloted and need a minimum of 30 psig to operate. |
