Directional Control Solenoid Valves
Category Selection
Pneumatic valves, also called directional control valves, are activated in a variety of ways including manually, solenoid operated, and air piloted. Directional control solenoid valves use an electrical coil to control the position of a poppet, plunger, or spool to open or close a valve. Typical solenoid control voltages are 12VDC, 24 VAC/DC, 120VAC or 240VAC. Solenoid valves distribute air to cylinders, grippers, nozzles, and many other pneumatic devices, and are available in a range of body styles and operating characteristics. Modular solenoid valve banks and electro-pneumatic systems reduce wiring and plumbing, and increase control simplicity.

Solenoid Valves
Solenoid valves are a popular control device in pneumatic systems and allow control of various pneumatic devices using electrical signals.
Solenoid valves are available in standalone valves, units for modular and electro-pneumatic systems, and ISO 5599/1 sized models designed to work seamlessly with systems that comply with the ISO 5599/1 standard.
- ISO 5599/1 compliant solenoid valves
- Modular solenoid valves for PAL (Pneumatic Automation Link) series electro-pneumatic system
- Modular solenoid valves for CMV series modular solenoid valve banks
- Standalone basic directional solenoid valves (AVP and AVS series)
- Metal Work Series 70 solenoid valves
- Miniature directional control valves (GVP series)
Manifolds & Bases
Manifolds simplify installation and reduce the amount of plumbing needed for multiple standalone valves or, in the case of modular valves, help create a valve bank assembly. Select manifolds are supplied with gaskets and hardware; blanking plates are used to cover unused slots. Bases are required for ISO 5599/1 solenoid valves and can be stacked to create a modular manifold.
- ISO 5599/1 standard standalone bases and manifolds
- Solenoid valve bases for PAL (Pneumatic Automation Link) electro-pneumatic system
- Intermediate modules and endplates for modular pneumatic valves (CMV series)
- Manifolds for standalone basic directional solenoid valves
- Manifolds for Metal Work Series 70 valves
- Manifolds for standalone miniature directional solenoid valves
Control Interfaces
Solenoid valve control interfaces allow simplified wiring by providing a bus coupler for an electro-pneumatic system or a modular valve bank to be controlled via an EtherNet/IP master; electrical distribution blocks streamline individual solenoid valve wiring.
- EtherNet/IP bus couplers for PAL (Pneumatic Automation System) and CMV modular valve banks connect the system to an EtherNet/IP network for control
- Electrical connection modules for PAL (Pneumatic Automation System) and CMV modular valve banks allow for control of pneumatic solenoid valves via discrete wired signals
- Expansion bus couplers allow the system to have several smaller subsystems with only one network connection
- Pneumatic control distribution blocks for standalone AVS series basic directional solenoid valves simplify wiring and allow standalone solenoid valves to perform like a modular valve bank
I/O Modules
The NITRA Pneumatic Automation Link (PAL) system is a modular, electro-pneumatic set of components that can include electrical I/O or pneumatic valves or both. Several I/O modules are available offering discrete DC input and outputs, analog inputs with support for various current and voltage ranges, and temperature inputs. The PAL system can support a combination of 16 digital input modules, 16 digital output modules, 4 analog input modules, and 4 analog output modules.
- PAL DC input and output modules support up to 16 points
- PAL DC input and output modules configurable for NPN or PNP wiring
- PAL analog I/O modules support most common analog signals such as VDC and mA current signals
- PAL temperature module supports both RTD and thermocouple inputs
Solenoid Valve Accessories
Accessories are available to assist with the installation and configuration of the various series and styles of solenoid valves, including:
- Blind ends
- Manifold blanking plates
- Manifold attaching kits
- Solenoid coils and hardware
- Replacement gasket and seal kits
- Fittings
