Directly Operated Solenoid ValvesVD Series
- Uses standard 22mm coils common for all Airwork valves
- 3 sizes available: M5, 1/8 and ¼
- Extremely robust (50 million cycles)
Compactness, fast response time, and high reliability
A&T Fluid Solutions / Airwork directly operated solenoid valves (solenoid pilots) represent the ideal choice for industrial applications requiring extremely compact dimensions and maximum installation flexibility. Thanks to their compact design, these valves can be mounted in any position, integrating seamlessly both on-board machinery and inside compact control cabinets.
They are available in both 3/2 Normally Closed (NC) and 3/2 Normally Open (NO) configurations, ensuring maximum versatility across different pneumatic circuit logics.
Engineered with high-quality materials (aluminum valve body, brass core, and NBR seals), our solenoid valves offer high performance standards and continuous service reliability.
Applications and Industrial Sectors
Thanks to their reduced dimensions, fast switching times, and high degree of electrical protection, directly operated solenoid valves are used across a wide range of technological fields:
-
Industrial Automation and Valve Piloting: Used as solenoid pilots to actuate larger pneumatic valves, spool valves, or for the direct control of small single- or double-acting cylinders.
-
Railway and Transport Sector: Ideal for auxiliary pneumatic systems and logic on board trains, where vibration resistance, compactness, and immediate response are essential requirements.
-
Pneumatic Cabinets and Multiple Systems: The ability to mount in any orientation, combined with small thread sizes (M5/1/8), allows installation in tight spaces or valve manifolds.
-
Packaging, Bottling, and Assembly: Suitable for high-speed automated lines where a 10 ms response time makes a critical difference in production rates.
-
Medical Equipment and Process Instrumentation: For precise airflow control in compact machinery and analytical equipment.
