High-Precision Electronic Flow Regulators

The efficiency of your machine depends on how well it manages fluid movement. Our electronic flow regulators act as precise gates. When they receive an electrical signal, they open or close to direct hydraulic oil exactly where it needs to go.

If a valve is slow or sticky, your machine will feel sluggish or "jumpy." IMARA Engineering Supplies offers valves that provide smooth, consistent actuation. By using our fluid control switches, you can maintain the fine motor control needed for delicate digging or lifting tasks.

Why Equipment Valve Coils Fail

The "heart" of the solenoid is the coil. This is a spool of wire that creates a magnetic field to move the internal plunger. Because equipment valve coils sit close to engines and hydraulic pumps, they are exposed to extreme heat and vibration.

Over time, the insulation on the coil can break down, leading to an electrical short. When this happens, the valve will no longer open, and your hydraulic function will stop completely. We offer replacement coils and complete solenoid valves that feature reinforced housings to resist thermal breakdown and mechanical wear.

The Importance of Electrically Controlled Valves in Automation

Modern machinery is becoming more automated. To achieve this, machines rely on electrically controlled valves that can be managed by the machine's computer (ECU). Our valves are compatible with advanced sensing systems, allowing for:

• Automated Load Sensing: Adjusting fluid flow based on the weight of the load.
• Remote Operation: Enabling machines to be controlled via wire or radio signals.
• Safety Overrides: Automatically closing valves to stop movement if a sensor detects a danger.
• Precision Timing: Opening and closing in milliseconds to protect hydraulic pumps from pressure spikes.

How to Troubleshoot Faulty Hydraulic Solenoid Actuators

When a hydraulic function stops working, the solenoid is often the first place to look. Here is how to identify a problem with your fluid control switches:

1. Check for "Clicking": When the power is turned on, you should hear a faint click from the valve. No click usually means the coil has failed.
2. Test for Magnetism: A working coil will become magnetic. If you hold a screwdriver near the coil while it is powered, you should feel a magnetic pull.
3. Inspect for Leaks: Oil leaking from the base of the valve often means the internal seals have worn out, requiring a full replacement of the solenoid valves.
4. Verify Voltage: Use a multimeter to ensure the wiring is delivering the correct voltage to the equipment valve coils.
