While designs are often customized for specific industrial needs, a standard manifold assembly typically includes:
- The Manifold Body: A central block or pipe (often machined or diffusion-bonded) containing internal passages for fluid. Common materials include PEEK, stainless steel, and aluminum.
- Valves: Components like solenoid, rotary, or check valves that control the timing and direction of flow.
- Fittings & Ports: Connectors such as barbs or threaded fittings that link the manifold to external tubing.
- Sensors & Gauges: Devices used to monitor system functions, such as pressure, temperature, or flow rate.
