Hi,
I am looking for cheap source of solenoid valve for air muscle.
I can find dishwasher,washing machine solenoid valves from ebay but they are 230v ac which I am hesitant to use.I am looking 12v solenoid valve.

Below is the link for making air muscle ,the first entry, pdf file.

This is another website for air muscle.

Also I am looking some schematics for solenoid valve they are using relays,transistors and some uln2003 chip.Is it possible I can use external power supply without any relays just like servo motor with a common ground.

Thanks

 

Look on Thomas.net. They have dozens of references for miniature air actuators and controllers

depends how cheap you mean, but this is a good place to see some of what's available at least.

 

See www.ascovalve.com for all the information you will ever need on solenoid valves.

Great place for low-priced solenoid valves (with 12v options)
