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 4-way and 5/2 valves, they actuate when voltage is applied to the electrical connection. They direct airflow from the inlet to your equipment and exhaust return airflow to create motion.
Valves with electric (solenoid) return actuation go back to their original position when voltage is moved from the first solenoid to the second solenoid.
NPTF (Dryseal) threads are compatible with NPT threads.
Manifold-mount valves plug into a manifold (sold separately) to create multiple actions from a single pressure input. Manifolds with multiple exhaust ports have one set of inlet and exhaust ports on each side, so they can be strung together in a series. When using a single manifold, cover the ports on the side you are not using with plugs (sold separately).
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.

Directional Control Valves with Full Shut-Off

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 that are both normally closed and normally open can be installed to block airflow, or allow flow until actuated.
Valves with electric (solenoid) return actuation go back to their original position when voltage is moved from the first solenoid to the second solenoid.
NPTF (Dryseal) threads are compatible with NPT threads.
Manifold-mount valves plug into a manifold (sold separately) to create multiple actions from a single pressure input. Manifolds with multiple exhaust ports have one set of inlet and exhaust ports on each side, so they can be strung together in a series. When using a single manifold, cover the ports on the side you are not using with plugs (sold separately).
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.

Simultaneous Two-Action Electrically Operated Air Directional Control Valves

Also known as pressure-center valves and 4-way valves, these 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. They direct airflow from the inlet to your equipment and exhaust return airflow to create motion. Return actuation is electric (solenoid), so they go back to their original position when voltage moves from the first solenoid to the second solenoid.
Flow coefficient (Cv) is a measurement that indicates how much airflow can pass through a valve.

Electrically Operated Air Directional Control Valves with Flow Control
Create motion and control the speed of that motion with a single valve. Also known as 4-way valves, these valves create two actions, such as extending and retracting a double-acting cylinder. They direct airflow from the inlet to your equipment and exhaust return airflow to create motion, and adjust the volume of air exiting an air cylinder (meter out) to control speed. Apply voltage to the electrical connection to actuate.
5/3 (closed center valves) close all ports in the off position to stop equipment in a locked position with air pressure holding it in place. 5/3 (pressure center) valves create two actions at the same time, such as extending two single-acting cylinders at once.
Valves with electric (solenoid) return actuation go back to their original position when voltage moves from the first solenoid to the second solenoid.

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. 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. They direct airflow from the inlet to your equipment and exhaust return airflow to create motion. Also known as 4-way valves.
5/3 (closed center) valves close all ports in the off position to stop equipment in a locked position with air pressure holding it in place.

Washdown-Resistant Electrically Operated Air Directional Control Valves

4-way valves create two actions, such as extending and then retracting a double-acting cylinder. Valves with electric (solenoid) return actuation go back to their original position when voltage moves from the first solenoid to the second solenoid. Valves with two exhaust ports allow you to independently control the speed of two different actions. Connect a flow control valve to each exhaust port. Flow coefficient (Cv) is a measurement that indicates how much airflow can pass through a valve.

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. Valves with the same style can be used on the same manifold. For example, you can put a Style B, 2-position, spring-return valve and a Style B, 3-position, solenoid-return valve on the same manifold.
4-way valves create two actions, such as extending and retracting a double-acting cylinder.
5/3 (closed center) valves close all ports in the off position to stop equipment in a locked position with air pressure holding it in place. 5/3 (exhaust center) valves exhaust all air pressure in the off position, allowing equipment to return to the neutral position. 5/3 (pressure center) valves create two actions at the same time, such as extending two single-acting cylinders at once.
