Pneumatic valvesSolenoid valves, pneumatic and mechanical control valves

Pneumax solenoid valves are available in various configurations, both spool and poppet types. The control is achieved electro-pneumatically, in two stages, with an initial direct-acting solenoid valve that pilots the main power valve. This arrangement is designed compactly to allow their use even in confined spaces.

The air needed for piloting comes, respectively, from the main valve's inlet in the self-feeding version and from the external source in the externally powered version. The latter configuration enables the valve to operate even at low pressures.

Solenoid valves are available in different sizes: G 1/8", G 1/4", G 1/2" and G 1".

These valves use a balanced spool switching system, which is insensitive to the presence or absence of pressure. They are available in 3 and 5-way configurations, with 1 solenoid (monostable) or 2 solenoids (bistable) and also in a 5-way 3-position version (with closed centers, open centers and pressurized centers).
