Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 3-way solenoid spool valve?
A 3-way solenoid spool valve has a supply port, an outlet port and an exhaust port. It alternates the outlet between pressure and exhaust.
What is a 3-way valve used for?
It is commonly used to control single-acting cylinders, pneumatic pilot signals, blow-off circuits and air-operated devices.
What is the difference between normally closed and normally open?
A normally closed valve blocks supply air when de-energized, while a normally open valve supplies air in its normal de-energized state.
Can a 3-way valve control a double-acting cylinder?
A standard 3-way valve is generally used for a single-acting actuator. Double-acting cylinders normally require a 4-way or 5-way valve.
How do I select the correct port size?
Consider actuator size, required speed, operating pressure, tubing diameter and flow demand.
What coil voltage should I choose?
Select a coil voltage that matches the PLC, relay or machine control power supply.
What should be connected to the exhaust port?
The exhaust port should remain open to atmosphere or use a correctly sized silencer or exhaust accessory without creating excessive back pressure.
Can Pneuforce help select a 3-way valve?
Yes. Pneuforce can assist with valve function, port size, flow capacity, coil voltage and connection requirements.
