Electrically actuated air valves

[dg]

Can anybody recommend a source for electrically actuated air valves? The
air source is currently 90psi but will likely be regulated to less, as the
job does not require that much pressure.

Thanks,

Well I don't know if this will help much, but I got a dozen electric
valves on e-bay. The seller didn't know what they manufactured for, but I
found out they were pressure relief valves for fuel tanks. I got them to
make a mechanical bottle rocket launcher, but I have gotten around to it
yet.

Good Luck!

Tried Grainger?

Search for "solenoid valve". Surplus vendors such as mpja.com
sometimes carry them, if you want small quantities. I buy mine from
McMaster-Carr <http://www.mcmaster.com/>, which is an industrial
supply house carrying everything you could want for building your
pneumatic system. Prices are reasonable but not exactly "cheap".

Sure, the most common brand is ASCO, but you can probably find others
by Googling on "solenoid valves".
