Electro-pneumatic 3/2 valves

An electro-pneumatic 3/2 valve is a pneumatic valve with three ports and two switching functions. The valve is electronically controlled, allowing compressed air flows to be switched automatically.

This type of valve is ideal for machines where cylinders, grippers and other pneumatic processes need to be controlled quickly, safely and accurately.

Why choose 3/2 valves?

3/2 valves are versatile and suitable for:

Start/stop functions in pneumatic systems
Supplying and exhausting single-acting cylinders
Controlling pneumatic actuators
Safety and pressure regulation applications
Automation processes with high switching frequency

Thanks to the electrical control, they can be easily connected to PLC systems, machines and industrial control cabinets.

Advantages of electro-pneumatic 3/2 valves

High switching speed
The electromagnetic coil ensures fast and consistent switching, ideal for high-cycle applications.

Compact design
3/2 valves are available in compact housings, making them easy to integrate into existing systems.
