Choosing an Air Directional Control Valve

Single-Action Air Directional Control Valves






















Manually control these valves by pushing or turning the actuator. Also known as 3-way or 3/2 valves, they create one action, such as extending a cylinder. They direct airflow from the inlet to your equipment and exhaust return airflow to create motion. In the off position, they exhaust air pressure from the system, allowing equipment to reset so the action can be repeated. Valves without an exhaust connection exhaust air to the atmosphere.
Normally closed valves block airflow until actuated. Valves that are both normally closed and normally open can be installed to block airflow, or allow air to flow until actuated.
Valves with hand return actuation stay actuated and go back to their starting position only when you move the actuator again. Valves with spring return actuation go back to their starting position as soon as you release the actuator.
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.

Two-Speed Two-Action 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. They direct airflow from the inlet to your equipment and exhaust return airflow to create motion. Also known as 4-way and 5/2 valves.
Valves with threaded exhaust connection type allow you to control the speed of each action by attaching a flow control valve to each exhaust port.
Valves with no exhaust connection type exhaust air to the atmosphere.
Valves with spring return actuation return to their original position as soon as you release the actuator.
Valves with hand return actuation stay actuated and return to their original position only when you move the actuator again.
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.

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

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. They direct airflow from the inlet to your equipment and exhaust return airflow to create motion. Valves without an exhaust connection exhaust air to the atmosphere.

Two-Speed Two-Action Mechanically 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. A simple automation solution that requires no programming, they activate when an object, such as a box rolling on a conveyor, pushes the actuator. They direct airflow from the inlet to your equipment and exhaust return airflow to create motion. Return actuation is by spring, so they go back to their original position as soon the actuator is released. Also known as 4-way and 5/2 valves.
Valves with a two-direction actuator are activated by objects from both sides.
NPTF (Dryseal) threads are compatible with NPT threads.
Flow coefficient (Cv) is a measurement that indicates how much airflow can pass through a valve.

A simple automation solution that requires no programming, these valves are activated when an object, such as a box rolling on a conveyor, pushes the actuator.

Return actuation is by spring, so they go back to their starting position as soon as the actuator is released. In the off position, they exhaust air pressure 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 air to flow until actuated.
Valves with a one-direction actuator are activated by objects from one side.
Valves with a two-direction actuator are activated by objects from both sides.
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.

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. Valves without an exhaust connection exhaust air to the atmosphere.
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 spring return actuation go back to their original position when voltage is removed.
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.

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

Run through equipment cycles up to 30% faster than with standard valves. They create one action, such as extending a cylinder. 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 by spring, so they go back to their starting position as soon as voltage is removed. Also known as 3-way and 3/2 valves.
Normally open valves allow airflow until actuated.
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.
Use single-station bases to mount a single valve.

Dual-Input Air Directional Control Valves

Air pressure must be supplied to both inlets before the output port will open, allowing airflow to your equipment. When the two input flows have different pressure levels, the output airflow will always be the lower of the two input pressures. Also known as "and" valves.

Also known as shuttle valves and "or" valves, these valves select between the higher of two inlet pressures to power one outlet port. They're often used in emergency systems where the lower pressure input acts as a backup to the higher pressure input.
