They are available in multiple directional control configurations, including 3/2, 5/2, and 5/3, to accommodate various pneumatic circuit requirements.

Choose from four different valve widths: 18mm (Type A), 22mm (Type B), 27mm (Type C), and 34mm (Type D). Comprehensive port options are also offered, such as M5, G1/8, G1/4, G3/8, G1/2, in addition to NAMUR-standard ports G1/4 and G3/8, providing flexibility for diverse piping setups.

These valves deliver impressive high flow rates ranging from 245 to 3350 liters per minute at 6 bar inlet pressure with a 1 bar pressure drop. A built-in LED indicator light allows clear visualization of the power status, enhancing operational convenience.

The innovative push-and-turn manual override mechanism makes commissioning and maintenance tasks straightforward, while the 100% continuous duty rating ensures reliable operation even during extended use.

Constructed with a lightweight yet sturdy aluminum housing, the valves feature NBR seals specifically designed for compressed air applications. The IP65 protection class makes them suitable for harsh industrial environments, safeguarding against dust and water ingress.

A sub-base mounting system simplifies piping work and allows easy manifold assembly, streamlining the installation process. The internal pilot air supply design eliminates the need for an external pilot source.

Voltage tolerance of ±10% ensures the valves can handle typical industrial power fluctuations without compromising performance.

The valves are available as either single solenoid (spring return) or double solenoid types to suit different application requirements. For the 5/3 valves, three center functions are offered: All Ports Blocked (APB), Center Open Exhaust (COE), and Center Open Pressure (COP), providing versatile control options.
