Abstract:
This invention provides a valve-module that is operative with relatively low-pressure pilot-air despite its small size and has excellent durability with less performance-variations than among other similar products. The valve-module of the present invention includes a pilot-port and a biasing-means for biasing the piston-portion in the opposite direction, and controls the opening and closing of the valve by supplying and discharging pilot-air. The first-permanent magnet is held by the first magnet-holder of the valve-rod, and the second-permanent magnet is held by the second magnet-holder of the piston housing. A magnetic-attraction force acts between both permanent magnets and drives the piston in the first direction and increases with the mutual approach of both magnets. Due to the presence of the thin-walled first-and-second collision-avoidance portions, an arrangement-relationship is set between the two permanent magnets such that the end-faces do not directly collide with each other, even when they are closest to each other.
