Pneumatic Valves
A pneumatic valve is a device that uses compressed air to start, stop, or change the direction of air flow or process fluids inside a system. Key types include directional control valves (like 3/2-way and 5/2-way configurations), mechanical/manual valves, and solenoid-operated valves.
Common Types and Uses
- 2/2-Way Valves: Simple shut-off valves with two ports and two states (open or closed) to turn air flow on or off.
- 3/2-Way Valves: Have three ports and two positions; commonly used to control single-acting cylinders or blow-off features.
- 5/2 or 5/3-Way Valves: Feature five ports to control double-acting cylinders by routing air to extend or retract pistons.
A 2/2 way valve is a simple on-and-off flow control device with two ports (an inlet and an outlet).
It is a directional control valve used to start, stop, or redirect the flow of air or fluid in a system
Features five ports and two positions. Use to control double-acting pneumatic cylinders
It is classified by their actuator mechanism, internal structure (series), and port configurations.
