The difference and connection between solenoid valve and directional valve

The difference and connection between solenoid valve and directional valve
Electromagnetic valves and directional valves are common industrial control components, but they have some important differences.
Electromagnetic valves mainly control the on/off of fluids through electromagnetic action, and their structure is relatively simple with fast response speed.
The directional valve can change the direction of fluid flow and achieve different working modes.
Specifically, solenoid valves are commonly used for simple switch control, such as controlling air sources, hydraulic sources, etc.
Directional valves are more suitable for situations that require frequent changes in fluid direction, such as directional operations in mechanical equipment.
