Im trying to build my own air powered actuators for a robotic arm. But to control them ill need some solenoid valves of some sort. I don't know the exact pressure yet, but ill use around 50-100 psi. I keep searching and don't really see to many cheap ones. They can be reall cheap after all this is just an experiment all it needs to do is open and close pritty fast.

not sure what you consider real cheap, but Mcmaster Carr has some crappy ones for like 25 bucks
www.mcmaster.com
page 434ish
I know where to get them for like 10 bucks too, but we get a discount there as a manufacturing company.
for personal use, a McMaster or Grainger is probably going to be the best bet.

Consider using an electric irrigation-sprinkler valve. The 3/4" ones are sometimes on sale for under US$10.

well it depends if it needs to be replaced or just cleaned. shops wont tell you to get it clean because they want to chjarge u as much as possible. get sombody u know to clean it by taking it off and using a brush and degreaser. the fuel cleaner wont clean the egr valve it only cleans the combustion chamber.
