Mechanically operated 3/2 valves

Mechanically operated 3/2 valves

Do you want to control airflows directly without the hassle of cables or electrical signals? With mechanically operated 3/2-way valves, you choose a reliable link for your pneumatic system. Whether you are controlling a cylinder or designing a fail-safe security circuit: these valves deliver the industrial robustness you can build on.

What is a mechanically operated 3/2-way valve?

A 3/2-way valve has three ports and two positions. Essentially, this valve ensures that compressed air flows to your application or that the connected component is exhausted. The mechanical operation ensures that the switching occurs physically.

 

With direct operation such as a pushbutton, roller lever, or plunger the valve switches instantly and flawlessly. This makes them perfectly suited for simple machine controls and logic circuits in challenging environments.

Why choose mechanical operation?

In modern machine building and industrial automation, everything revolves around operational reliability. Mechanical valves offer several unique advantages:

  • High operational reliability: No risk of electrical failures or short circuits.

  • Durable and low-maintenance: Designed for intensive use and long life cycles.

  • Fast switching time: Direct mechanical activation ensures an immediate response from your system.

  • Versatility: Available with various operating heads such as pushbuttons, rollers, or switches.

Applications in your sector

You will find our 3/2-way valves everywhere where reliability is the top priority. Think of:

  • Cylinder control: Direct extension or retraction of single-acting cylinders.

  • Safety signals: Mechanical limit switches that stop a process as soon as a position is reached.

  • Pneumatic logic: Building circuits without the intervention of a PLC.
