does festo make QEVs

[chinnerz]

Haha, yeah, my excuse everytime i go to bunnings is: "I'm making a pneumatic hand which has the power to crush an empty coke can..."

And i usually get the response " Wow!, well you will have to bring it in and show us one day..."

I crush full cans - - with marshmallows.

Haha nice.

Hey do you think you can post what part you get how much it costed and how well it works?? Because i didnt find any thing which was good nuf for spudding for under $100 (item + shipping) in Auz.

well i went to festo and they have QEV but there like $85 aud for a 1/2 inch
so i walked out there never to return.


i didn't wanna start a new thread so has anyone ever used one theses valves up to 300 psi before.

also which type of 3way do i need nominally open or closed
would this 3way work

[POLAND_SPUD]

yeah I have a 1/8" QEV that looks exactly the same and it works ok

teh 3 way is a NC valve.... it would be better to use a NO valve (NC will fill the gun when the button is pressed and then pilot it when you release it... so you'd need a spring loaded trigger/lever that would keep the stem of the valve depressed normally )
linky

if you don't want to build a special trigger for it then you might ask teh guy if he has NO versions

yer i wasent sure if i need a NO or NC but it makes sence now thanks for clearing it up

mad ill probly order that QEV when my bro get back.
