Valves

Valves are indispensable for the operation of a pneumatic system. They control the direction, pressure and flow of compressed air. You use valves to control cylinders, control movements and automate processes. With our pneumatic valves, you ensure that your installation functions reliably, safely and optimally. 

Make a difference with the right valve

In mechanical engineering, industrial automation, production environments and process installations, among others, every millisecond and every air pressure (bar) counts. An incorrectly chosen valve will result in unnecessary energy consumption or, worse, downtime of your production line. When you choose our pneumatic components, you choose:

  • Long service life: Designed for millions of switching cycles in harsh industrial environments.

  • High switching speed: Minimize your cycle times and increase your output.

  • Easy integration: Our valves comply with international ISO standards, so they fit seamlessly into your existing system.

Discover our range of valves

There are different types of valves, each with a specific control and functions. The most commonly used pneumatic valves are:

  • Solenoid valves: Electrical control via a coil. Allows full automation and integration with PLCs.

  • Pneumatically actuated valves: Switching by means of an air signal. Ideal for hazardous (ATEX) environments (no sparks).

  • Manual valves: Manual control (button, lever or pedal). Direct on-site control works independently of power or software.

  • Check valves: One-way mechanical blockage. Prevents return flow and protects valuable components from pressure loss.

What do you pay attention to when choosing a valve?

When selecting a pneumatic valve, it is important to consider:

  1. Function: Do you need a 3/2 valve for a single-acting cylinder, or a 5/2 valve for a double-acting cylinder?

  2. Flow: How much air must flow through the valve per minute to achieve the desired speed?

  3. Connection size: Do you work with M5, G1/8, G1/4 or larger sizes?

  4. Control: Is the valve operated manually, pneumatically or electrically?

  5. Environmental factors: Do you have to deal with high temperatures, moisture or aggressive cleaning agents?
