Filtered Intake Uses: Dip Tube Filter, Suction Strainer & more!
Comments Off on Filtered Intake Uses: Dip Tube Filter, Suction Strainer & more!A filtered intake is a protected entrance for a gas or liquid coming into a system or device. It has a single tube fitting attached to a filter housing or end cap, and an open filter element on the other side. Standoff geometry on the filter side of the product prevents blockage when pushed up […]

How to Use a Pressure Switch: 3 Examples
Comments Off on How to Use a Pressure Switch: 3 ExamplesA pressure switch is a device that is used to detect and monitor the pressure in a variety of applications. On this page, we will show you how to use a pressure switch in three different ways: by detecting an active pressure circuit, detecting a loss of flow, and monitoring upstream air pressure. We have […]

Fittings – A Selection Guide | Air Logic
Comments Off on Fittings – A Selection Guide | Air LogicPneumatic and fluidic systems use all types of components to achieve their design intent. Fittings are the components that connect everything in the system together. It is important for the connections to fit both the mechanical and functional needs of the overall system. Find out more about pneumatic fittings, their benefits, factors to consider when […]
Precision Orifices – Why Are They Needed?
Comments Off on Precision Orifices – Why Are They Needed?Precision orifices are small devices used to accurately and consistently control the flow of a liquid or gas through a tubing system. They’re found in a diverse range of products, from coffeemakers to complex and critical systems for the aviation and aerospace industries and the delivery of anesthesia and other medical applications. What Are Precision […]
How to Control your Device with Flow Restrictor Orifices
Comments Off on How to Control your Device with Flow Restrictor OrificesWhat are Flow Restrictor Orifices and how do they work? Orifice restrictors are flow control devices placed in the line of a pneumatic device that regulates the amount of air passing through it. They are used when a fixed flow rate is required because they cannot be adjusted. By controlling the flow rate, a flow […]

Pneumatic Switch 101 | Pressure & Vacuum Switches
Comments Off on Pneumatic Switch 101 | Pressure & Vacuum SwitchesPneumatic switches use air to actuate, or open and close, circuits. The pneumatic switch sends air through a tube to flip a switch and activate or deactivate attached circuitry. At Air Logic, we specialize in developing and supplying pneumatic switches such as pressure and vacuum switches. Learn more about how these two switch types operate, […]
Pressure Relief Valves
Comments Off on Pressure Relief ValvesHydraulic and pneumatic systems must regulate air or liquid pressure according to a constant pressure threshold. If the pressure exceeds the set level, it can damage equipment and create a safety hazard for workers. Pressure relief valves regulate pressure levels to prevent these dangers. Learn how pressure relief valves work, their benefits and applications, and […]
Relieving vs. Non-Relieving Regulators
Comments Off on Relieving vs. Non-Relieving RegulatorsPressure regulators are available in two types: relieving and non-relieving. Both can give the maximum volume of flow needed while keeping outlet pressure constant. The difference between relieving and non-relieving regulators depends on whether they self-release or trap excess pressure. At Air Logic, we offer both relieving and non-relieving pressure regulators that can be either […]
Precision Air Regulators
Comments Off on Precision Air RegulatorsAir Logic designs and fabricates vacuum and pneumatic control components. Our precision air regulators provide optimal pressure regulation to low flow systems where setpoint accuracy is required. They provide a stable output pressure despite changes to pressure and flow upstream. Learn more about the features, benefits, and applications of precision air regulators as well as […]
The Lord’s Prayer on the Point of a Pin
Comments Off on The Lord’s Prayer on the Point of a PinThe following is a transcription of a story that still lives on and gets told at our company to this day. In 1935, Fred Knapp engraved 286 characters that make up the Lord’s Prayer on an area equal to the point of a pin. This dramatic illustration demonstrated the extreme accuracy of a George Gorton […]
