Air solenoids - Not for lockers
I am planning on running two air tanks that will cut out at different pressures. One small one for lockers and the other for air tools, tyres and anything else. I am just giing to have two different pressure switchwes for the two tanks and have them control an air solenoid.
Is there anything out there readily available with 12V control that anyone can suggest?
Alternatively, am i going too far and will i be able to use one tank, and will the standard 90-130Psi switch be fine for lockers and air tools??

Re: Air solenoids - Not for lockers
Run one tank at 130 ish psi and use a pressure regulator to regulate it down to 90psi for the manifold that the air locker solinoids are on.mickyd555 wrote:Alternatively, am i going too far and will i be able to use one tank, and will the standard 90-130Psi switch be fine for lockers and air tools??

Re: Air solenoids - Not for lockers
Well you run your 130 psi pressure switch on your pump and this fills the tank to 130psi (you still with me )mickyd555 wrote:more info on this please as that would solve all problems!!ausyota wrote:Run one tank at 130 ish psi and use a pressure regulator to regulate it down to 90psi for the manifold that the air locker solinoids are on.mickyd555 wrote:Alternatively, am i going too far and will i be able to use one tank, and will the standard 90-130Psi switch be fine for lockers and air tools??
You then get a pressure regulator like used when spray painting that has a big knob that you can turn to adjust the output pressure. Set this to aprox 90psi and run an air line to a manifold that your airlocker solinoids are screwed into.

try here http://www.metalwork.it/eng/elettrovalvole.html we use heaps of 12/24v soleniods at work . not cheap though.
this is what regulators are designed for! they cost $40 and will give a pretty constant pressure regardless of tank pressure (as long as its above 90). Fit a one way valve if you are worries the main tank will go below 90 psi.
