OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) plastic solenoid valves are essential components in a wide variety of industries, providing efficient control of fluid flow through the use of electromagnetic mechanisms. These valves, made from durable plastic materials, offer unique advantages compared to their metal counterparts, including resistance to corrosion, lower cost, and lightweight construction. This article explores the working principles, applications, and benefits of OEM plastic solenoid valves, shedding light on their growing popularity across multiple sectors.
Working Principles of OEM Plastic Solenoid Valves Solenoid valves, in general, are devices that control the flow of liquids or gases using an electromagnet. When an electric current is passed through a solenoid, it generates a magnetic field that moves a plunger or valve actuator. In the case of a plastic solenoid valve, the housing and key components are made of high-performance plastics such as polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and polyethylene (PE). These materials are chosen for their excellent resistance to chemical corrosion and ease of manufacturing. The solenoid valve operates by either opening or closing the flow path for fluids based on the activation of the electromagnet. When current flows through the solenoid, the magnetic field pulls the plunger or valve body, either opening or closing the valve. Once the current is turned off, the spring or a mechanical force returns the valve to its default position, either allowing or blocking fluid flow.
