according to specs 8bar but they can probably handle twice that just fine - besides I am gonna use 10 bar max

mind you these things are labeled as fast switching valves (280hz) - lol got to experiment with PWMing them...

ohh and solenoids are 24V but then run fine on 12V too

List Price: £80.04/EACH
How the heck did you get them for 4 euro posted?

This is just begging to be used as a direct valve for an Arduino controlled smallbore automatic, the other air output could control a bolt mechanism...

Used item, luck and the seller who had no clue what he was selling

Yup the valve switching on time is 2.3 ms => as fast as a QEV :D

If it's 280Hz then surely you mean 3.6 ms...

I am quoting the datasheet - not sure how they calculated that

anyway 2.3 or 3.6 ms - it might even be 5ms but it is fast

Any more of those kicking around PS?

And remember, a Vulcan at full pelt is only 100Hz.

Zeus makes a good point, if you could time valve opening with a spinning set of barrels...

For these who play airsoft:
I'm buying a new airsoft sniper rifle, sold my snow wolf M24.
I'm not sure witch these two I should get: JG bar-10 VS well mb-08
The bar-10 is a 100% TM vsr-10 copy, yet cheap, apparently good for upgrading. But I wanted something that can shot decente right out of box. People complain a lot about well, but I got a mb-03 (some of the cheapest thing out there) and it's decent, 80% hit on a coke can at 30m, 470FPS. So anybody knows more about the mb-08? It's looks great.
BTW I have done a lot of research already, but the opinion varies from 0 to 10 :roll: , and seems to be done by kids mostly.
