MPA series air pilot actuators attach to the top of miniature 2-way, 3-way, and 4-way valves and electric switches via a 15/32-32 mounting thread to provide pressure pilot actuation from a pneumatic signal.
  Air Pilot Valve Actuators
Air Pilot Valve Actuators thread onto the tops of Clippard miniature 2-way, 3-way, and 4-way valves to provide fast pilot actuation from a pneumatic signal. They permit wide circuit flexibility and minimize cost, hazards and complexity by allowing many control functions to be accomplished pneumatically.

Modular Valve Line Overview Modular Valves are quite simple compared to other pneumatic components when you examine the elements that make up the line of products.  Essentially there are only 3 base valves and 18 different ways to actuate the base valve.  These combinations give a variety of versatile valve elements that broaden the possibilities when designing a pneumatic circuit.  These valves are the ideal manifold mounted solution to pneumatic circuit applications.

How to Auto Cycle a Double Acting Cylinder Without Limits Cycling a double acting cylinder is necessary in many applications, including: agitators, product life testing, reciprocating pumps and manufacturing processes. Clippard's VA-06 control module makes this easy. The VA-06 kit includes tubing and an acrylic manifold with the valves already mounted on it. Hook-up is easy—just connect supply pressure to the port labeled supply, and connect the cylinder extend and cylinder retract to the double acting cylinder. Turn the air on, flip the toggle, and make cylinder speed and delay adjustments as desired. The VA-06 control module is incredibly versatile due to the fact that it cannot only control the speed that the cylinder actuates, but can also control delays at the end of the stroke.
