3/2-way hand valve CORRECT ANSWER A manually operated valve with three ports and two positions. IT has a single pneumatic output that can be pressurized or exhausted to atmosphere, depending on valve position. In the normal, or unactuated position, the valve connects the output port to the exhaust port. 4/2-way double solenoid valve CORRECT ANSWER A pneumatic valve with four ports and two solenoids that shifts the valve when voltage is applied to one solenoid and not the other. The solenoid valve is controlled by applying a voltage signal at the solenoid coil. The flow passes freely from 1 to 2. By stopping the signal, the valve is set back to its starting position through the use of an additional solenoid. If no signal is applied to the valve, it can be manually operated. 4/2-way single solenoid valve CORRECT ANSWER A pneumatic valve with four ports that has a single electrical solenoid which actuates or shift the valve position when electricity is applied. The solenoid valve is controlled by applying a voltage signal at the solenoid coil. The flow passes freely from 1 to 4. By stopping the signal, the valve is set back to its starting position through the use of a return spring. If no signal is applied to the valve, it can be manually operated. Assembly drawing CORRECT ANSWER A technical drawing that shows how the component parts make up the finished product. Cable duct CORRECT ANSWER A form of housing for a run of cables. CAD (Computer-aided design) CORRECT ANSWER A computer technology that designs a product and documents the design's process. Circuit diagram - A diagram that shows how the electric, pneumatic, or hydraulic components of a technical system or installation are interconnected.
