Breathe life into your automated pneumatic system with this solenoid valve from Festo. It's a 5/3 type, so you get one input port along with two outputs and two venting ports. This makes it ideal for driving a double-acting cylinder. It's normally closed, so you can be sure attached equipment is inactive when the valve is unpowered. As it handles pressures up to 10 bar, it's suitable for use with mid-duty machinery. IP65 and IP67 ratings mean the unit's dust-tight and waterproof to keep processes ticking over in tough settings.
