AIRTAC 6A Series Air Piloted Valve
Externally Piloted | 5/2 Way & 5/3 Way Directional Control
Product Features
- Optimized Flow Path: The main body is precision-formed by aluminum alloy extrusion, featuring a special internal processing technology that effectively reduces friction resistance and increases the overall flow rate.
- Air Piloted Actuation: Uses an external compressed air signal for switching, making it highly reliable and safe for environments where electrical sparks or solenoid coils are undesirable.
- Manifold Integration: Can be seamlessly integrated with a manifold base to form a consolidated valve bank, saving significant installation space and simplifying pneumatic tubing layouts.
- Multiple Configurations: Available in 5/2-way (Single/Double pilot) and 5/3-way (Closed, Exhaust, or Pressure Center) configurations to meet diverse pneumatic circuit requirements.
