Valve Technology
Valves are used to control vacuum as well as compressed air. They can increase process safety in vacuum gripping systems.
The following functional principles can be distinguished:
- Solenoid valves for vacuum and compressed air
- Check valves and flow resistors; sensing valves
- Valves for vacuum and compressed air (Non-return valves, manual valves)
Our selection aid includes an overview of our valves, it also provides additional information that should be observed when selecting the right valve technology.

Solenoid Valves
Solenoid valves are used to control the flow of vacuum and compressed air.

Check Valves, Flow Resistors and Sensing Valves
Check valves and flow resistors, as well as sensing valves, increase the process safety and efficiency in a vacuum system.

Non-Return Valves
Non-return valves seal the vacuum system and prevent leakage during power failures. Protect your system against potential vacuum failure with Schmalz non-return valves.

Manual Valves
2/2-way valves or 2/3-way valves make it possible to manually activate and deactivate vacuum circuits. Upgrade your vacuum system with manual valves from Schmalz.
