Pilot-operated spool valves are used where air pressure control is preferred over electrical control. These valves are available with single-pilot spring return or double-pilot 2-position operation. Double-pilot models are also available in a 3-position center-closed configuration.

Air Pilot Valves
Category Selection
Unlike solenoid values that are electromechanical and utilize electricity for operation, air pilot valves are purely mechanical and use air pressure to perform the opening/closing actions. Although they are less accurate and have a slower response time than solenoid valves, air pilot valves offer a degree of safety since no electrical arcs are possible. They also provide greater durability, and deliver more torque for heavy load applications.
