1. 2 Positions 2 Ports & Single Solenoid, Vacuum Operable
Description: A compact ON/OFF valve designed specifically for vacuum applications. It allows or blocks flow in a circuit used for suction/gripping. The single solenoid with spring return ensures it fails to a safe (normally closed) state if power is lost.
Technical Specifications:
Common Types:
2. 2 Positions 2 Ports & Double Solenoid, Vacuum Operable
Description: A bistable ON/OFF vacuum valve that maintains its last position (open or closed) when de-energized. This "memory" function is ideal for energy-saving applications where the valve state must be held without continuous power.
Technical Specifications:
Common Types:
3. 2 Positions 3 Ports & Single Solenoid N.C.
Description: The standard workhorse for controlling single-acting cylinders (spring-return) or providing pilot signals to other valves. In its normal state, the output is exhausted. When energized, pressure is applied to the output.
Technical Specifications:
Common Types:
4. 2 Positions 3 Ports & Single Solenoid N.O.
Description: The inverse of the N.C. valve. In its normal state, pressure is applied to the output. When energized, the output is exhausted. Used for applications where the system should normally be pressurized.
Technical Specifications:
Common Types:
5. 2 Positions 3 Ports & Double Solenoid
Description: A 3-port valve that changes state with a pulse signal and remains in that position until the opposite solenoid is pulsed. Used for single-acting cylinders requiring a latching function.
Technical Specifications:
Common Types:
6. 2 Positions 3 Ports & Single Solenoid, Vacuum Operable
Description: A 3/2 valve specifically engineered for vacuum circuits, commonly used to switch a vacuum gripper between "Suction" (vented) and "Release" (atmospheric pressure applied) states.
Technical Specifications:
Common Types:
7. 2 Positions 3 Ports & Double Solenoid, Vacuum Operable
Description: Provides latching control for vacuum circuits. A pulse to one solenoid engages vacuum, and it remains engaged until a pulse to the other solenoid releases it, conserving energy.
Technical Specifications:
Common Types:
Description: The standard valve for controlling double-acting cylinders with spring return. When de-energized, the spring returns the valve to its default position, retracting or extending the cylinder depending on the porting.
Technical Specifications:
Common Types:
13. 2 Positions 5 Ports & Double Solenoid
Description: The most common valve for double-acting cylinder control. It changes position with a pulse signal and remains there, making it ideal for applications where the cylinder position must be maintained after a power loss.
Technical Specifications:
Common Types:
14. 3 Positions 5 Ports & Closed Center
Description: When de-energized in the center position, this valve blocks all ports, trapping air in both sides of the cylinder. This holds the cylinder rigidly in its mid-stroke position (if internally sealed).
Technical Specifications:
Common Types:
15. 3 Positions 5 Ports & Exhaust Center
Description: In the center position, pressure is blocked and both cylinder ports are exhausted to atmosphere. This allows the cylinder to be moved freely ("float") by external force, which is useful for manual positioning or safety.
Technical Specifications:
Common Types:
16. 3 Positions 5 Ports & Pressure Center
Description: In the center position, pressure is applied to both sides of the cylinder simultaneously. This creates a hydraulic lock, balancing the piston and holding it in place with equal force, which is useful for stopping in mid-stroke.
