Electrical Air Directional Control Valve

Manufacturer part: 6425K26

In the off position, these valves exhaust all air pressure, allowing the equipment to return to the neutral position. Often used to extend and then retract a cylinder at different speeds, they create two actions and have two exhaust ports, which allows you to control the speed of each action by attaching a flow control valve to each exhaust port. Also known as 5/3 exhaust-center valves, they actuate when voltage is applied to the electrical connection. They direct airflow from the inlet to your equipment and exhaust return airflow to create motion. Return actuation is electric (solenoid), so they go back to their original position when voltage moves from the first solenoid to the second solenoid. Solenoid connectors are not included for NPT × NPT valves.NPTF (Dryseal) threads are compatible with NPT threads.Manifold-mount valves plug into a manifold (sold separately) to create multiple actions from a single pressure input. Manifolds with multiple exhaust ports have one set of inlet and exhaust ports on each side, so they can be strung together in a series. When using a single manifold, cover the ports on the side you are not using with plugs (sold separately).Flow coefficient (Cv) is a measurement that indicates how much airflow can pass through a valve. When selecting between valves with the same port size, choose the valve with the higher flow coefficient to ensure it provides enough airflow to operate your system.
