The electronic inlet valve includes a valve body having an air inlet, a linear actuator coupled to a valve stem assembly, a valve member coupled to the valve stem assembly, a portion of the valve stem assembly is slidably received in a chamber. The chamber includes a first portion in fluid communication with a first fluid and a second portion in fluid communication with a second fluid. The linear actuator is configured to actuate the valve member through the valve stem assembly to control a flow of air to the air end, and wherein the first fluid is at a different pressure than the second fluid.
