Matching Flow Diagrams to Replace an Air Directional Control Valve

Choosing an Air Directional Control Valve

Two-Speed Two-Action Electrically
Operated Air Directional Control Valves

Often used to extend and then retract a cylinder at different speeds, these valves create two actions and have two exhaust ports, which allows you to control the speed of each action by attaching a flow control valve to each exhaust port. Also known as 5/2 valves, they actuate when voltage is applied to the electrical connection.

Fast-Switching Two-Speed Two-Action Electrically
Operated Air Directional Control Valves

Run through equipment cycles up to 30% faster than with standard valves. These valves shift between flow positions in 1.7 ms. Often used to extend and then retract a cylinder at different speeds, they create two actions and have two exhaust ports, which allows you to control the speed of each action by attaching a flow control valve to each exhaust port.

Two-Speed Two-Action Electrically Operated Air
Directional Control Valves with Exhausting Shut-Off

In the off position, these valves exhaust all air pressure, allowing the equipment to return to the neutral position. Often used to extend and then retract a cylinder at different speeds, they create two actions and have two exhaust ports, which allows you to control the speed of each action by attaching a flow control valve to each exhaust port. Apply voltage to the electrical connection to actuate.

Two-Speed Two-Action Electrically Operated
Air Directional Control Valves with Full Shut-Off

These valves close all ports in the off position to stop equipment in a locked position with air pressure holding it in place. Often used to extend and then retract a cylinder at different speeds, they create two actions and have two exhaust ports, which allows you to control the speed of each action by attaching a flow control valve to each exhaust port. Apply voltage to the electrical connection to actuate.

Two-Action Electrically Operated
Air Directional Control Valves

Also known as 4-way valves, these valves create two actions, such as extending and then retracting a double-acting cylinder. Apply voltage to the electrical connection to actuate.

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. They're also known as 3/2 valves.

Fast-Switching Single-Action Electrically
Operated Air Directional Control Valves

Run through equipment cycles up to 30% faster than with standard valves. These valves shift between flow positions in 1.7 ms. Also known as 3/2 valves, they create one action, such as extending a cylinder. Apply voltage to the electrical connection to actuate.

Single-Action Electrically Operated Air
Directional Control Valves with Full Shut-Off

Also known as 3/3 valves, these valves close all ports in the off position to stop equipment in a locked position with air pressure holding it in place. They're often used for vacuum suction and release applications and intermediate cylinder stops.

Simultaneous Two-Action Electrically
Operated Air Directional Control Valves

Create two actions at the same time, such as extending two single-acting cylinders at once. Apply voltage to the electrical connection to actuate. Also known as pressure center valves.

Wear-Resistant Electrically Operated
Air Directional Control Valves

Ceramic plates form a longer-lasting seal against oil and dust than rubber seals that deteriorate over time. These valves withstand use in corrosive, dusty, and dirty environments such as foundries, paper mills, and steel plants. Apply voltage to the electrical connection to actuate.

Electrically Operated Air Directional
Control Valves with Flow Control

Use a single valve to create motion and control the speed of that motion.

Hazardous Location Electrically
Operated Air Directional Control Valves

These valves are rated for environments where hazardous material is present. They actuate when voltage is applied to the electrical connection.

Washdown-Resistant Electrically
Operated Air Directional Control Valves

Rated IP69K, these valves withstand high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns. Their smooth design keeps out dust, dirt, and contaminants, making them easier to keep clean. Apply voltage to the electrical connection to actuate.

Robot-Arm-Mounted Electrically
Operated Air Directional Control Valves

With two 3-way integrated solenoid valves, these electrically controlled valves direct airflow to end-of-arm tools that don’t require vacuum suction, such as pick-and-place grippers. Also known as 3/2 valves, each of the two solenoid valves directs air to a different port.

Modular Air Directional Control Valves
with Air and Electrical Manifolds

Mix and match valve styles on one manifold to meet your control needs. Mount multiple valves to a manifold to reduce piping requirements and create multiple actions from a single pressure input.

Modular Air Directional Control Valves with Air Manifolds

Mount valves to a single-station base or to a manifold, which allows a single pressure source for multiple valves, then add or remove valves as your needs change.

Electrically Operated Air On/Off Valves

Also known as solenoid valves, these valves are operated by an electrical signal to turn airflow on or off.

Robot-Arm-Mounted Electrically
Operated Air On/Off Valves

With two 2-way integrated solenoid valves, these electrically controlled valves direct airflow to venturi pumps, which generate the suction you need to run end-of-arm tools, such as vacuum cups.

Rapid Air-Pulse Flow Control Valves

Convert a continuous stream of air into a series of quick pulses, reducing air consumption by up to 50% and improving performance in air-blowing applications such as cleaning and drying.

Air-Pulse Flow Control Valves for Filter Cleaning

Designed for use in dust-collection systems, these diaphragm valves periodically burst air to knock debris from filters.

Hydraulic Valves

Solenoid-Operated Directional-Control
Block-Mount Hydraulic Valves

Direct flow with an electronic signal.

Directional-Control Screw-In Hydraulic Valves

Control the direction of flow or stop flow altogether.

Flow-Control Valves

Compact Solenoid On/Off Valves with Exhaust Port

To fit in tight spots, these valves have a slimmer body than standard valves with an exhaust port.

Solenoid On/Off Valves with Exhaust Port

Designed for controlling single-acting, spring-return air cylinders, these valves have a third threaded port to exhaust media.

Solenoid On/Off Valves with Exhaust Port for Coolant

Often used to control single-acting, spring-return air cylinders, these valves have a third threaded port to exhaust media.

Solenoid On/Off Valves with Exhaust Port
for Natural Gas, Propane, and Butane
