How to solve the problem of air control valve getting stuck or blocked

Air control valves play a key role in pneumatic systems, regulating and controlling airflow to ensure the normal operation of the system. However, during long-term use, air control valves may become stuck or blocked, which in turn affects the normal operation of the valve and causes system performance degradation. Therefore, it is crucial to solve the problem of stuck or blocked air control valves in a timely manner to maintain the normal operation of the system.

To solve the problem of stuck or blocked air control valves, you first need to find out the root cause of the problem. The stuck or blocked air control valve may be caused by dust, impurities or lubricating oil residue accumulated inside the valve core, valve seat, seal or valve body. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully check the sealing performance between the valve core and the valve seat, and clean the impurities and dirt inside the valve body to ensure the smooth operation of the valve.

Different solutions can be taken for stuck or blocked problems. For the problem of valve core stuck, you can consider using a special cleaner to clean the surface of the valve core and restore its surface smoothness to ensure the smooth operation of the valve core. For the problem of valve seat blockage, you can use appropriate tools to clean the impurities and dirt inside the valve seat and restore the sealing performance of the valve seat. For blockage problems inside the valve body, it may be necessary to disassemble the valve for thorough cleaning and maintenance.

Regular cleaning and maintenance of air control valves is also an important measure to prevent sticking or blockage problems. Regular cleaning of the valve body, valve core and valve seat to ensure smooth and clean surfaces can effectively prevent sticking or blockage problems caused by dust, impurities or lubricant residue. At the same time, regular inspection and replacement of lubricants to maintain the flexibility and stability of the valve will help extend the service life of the air control valve.
