Most of the pneumatic valves I use have a small actuator (coil) that opens
a small air passage to push the thimble within the valve body to the
requested position.
I recall that they are called "pilot valves".
So they use a very small amount of current to do a very big job.

I have used Parker pilot valves in the past, but they have gotten way too
expensive, so I am trying some from China.
I found (on ebay) Toolots, that carry products from Pneulead.  I hope to
get them installed on my mill this weekend.

I am using 3/8" units, as I needed that for my power drawbar.
