EGO9 SOLENOID ASSEMBLY
Below is a brief overview of what happens 
during the Ego9 firing cycle. The location of parts 
discussed in the text below can be found on 
page 80-81.
Assuming the Ego9 is gassed up and turned on 
FIGURE 1.1 shows the marker in its idle position. 
The Rammer is held in its rear position with 
pressurised air from the LPR directed through 
the Solenoid to the front of the rammer. The 
Valve Chamber is full of pressurised air from the 
Inline Regulator. 
Providing a ball is in the breach and the trigger 
is pulled, a signal is sent to the Solenoid which 
redirects the supply of air from the front of the 
Rammer to the rear, which pushes the Rammer 
and Bolt forward toward the Valve (FIGURE 1.2). 
As this happens the air in front of the rammer 
is vented out through an exhaust port in the 
Solenoid Manifold.
The Rammer makes contact with the Valve 
Stem and continues to be pushed forward, now 
pushing the Valve forward with it. This breaks 
the Valve seal allowing pressurised air to flow 
up through the Valve and into the Bolt and vent 
down the barrel, propelling a ball. (FIGURE 1.3)
The time that the Rammer is held in this forward 
position is dependant on the Dwell parameter. 
The longer the Dwell the longer the Ego9 vents 
gas down the barrel. When this Dwell time has 
elapsed, the Solenoid redirects the supply of 
air from the back of the Rammer to the front, 
pushing the Rammer and Bolt back to the 
rear position. This loss of forward force allows 
the Valve to re-seal and the Valve Chamber is 
re-pressurised. As the rammer moves back air 
behind it is vented through an exhaust port in 
the Solenoid Manifold (FIGURE 1.4).
The Ego9 has now completed one cycle and is 
ready to fire again.
