Single-Action Electrically Operated Air Directional Control Valves
These valves create one action, such as extending a cylinder. Apply voltage to the electrical connection to actuate. Also known as 3-way and 3/2 valves, they direct airflow from the inlet to your equipment and exhaust return airflow to create motion. In the off position, they exhaust air from the system, allowing equipment to reset so the action can be repeated.
Normally closed valves block airflow until actuated.
Valves with spring return actuation go back to their original position when voltage is removed.
Flow coefficient (Cv) is a measurement that indicates how much airflow can pass through a valve. When selecting between valves with the same port size, choose the valve with the higher flow coefficient to ensure it provides enough airflow to operate your system.
