Looking for a way to tell compressed air when to stop and when to go? Put this pneumatic solenoid valve from IMI Norgren in charge. When supplied with an electric current, the solenoid coil becomes magnetised and causes the valve to open. Withdraw power and the valve closes. This handy piece of kit easily manages between 2 and 8 bar of pressure, making it ideal for small and medium-sized air tools. The NBR seal resists wear and tear as well as rebuffing oil and water to keep your application running smoothly, even in dusty industrial environments. If a problem pops up, you can shut things down fast thanks to the manual override function.

A 5/2-way configuration means that this component has five ports and two positions. This is common in double-acting systems since your valve must actively push in two directions and exhaust excess pressure.
