Operation and Catalog Notes

  • The single pilot operates the spool between two positions, with spring return shown in the catalog pneumatic symbol.
  • Sliding-spool construction is designed for sealing and sensitive response. The internal bore uses special processing to reduce friction and starting pressure and support service life.
  • Oil lubrication is not required. If lubricated air is introduced, lubrication must be continued; the catalog recommends ISO VG32 oil or equivalent.
  • Maximum actuation frequency is specified under no-load conditions. Effective area and Cv values are calculated from flow-test data.
  • The series supports manifold integration to save mounting space; select the matching size and catalog mounting arrangement.

Flow Characteristics

Catalog model reference Published effective area / Cv
5A210-08 / 5A220-08 Effective area 17 mm²; Cv 1
5A230C-08 Effective area 13.6 mm²; Cv 0.8

The flow curve is labeled 5A210-08. Its axes show operating pressure from 0 to 0.7 MPa and flow in L/min; values are AirTAC laboratory test data. The printed chart range is 0–2000 L/min, which is an axis range rather than a guaranteed operating flow. The figures above retain the exact model labels printed in the table; no unprinted flow rating is assigned to another port size or center function.

Dimensions and Mounting

Dimensions follow the applicable drawing in the 2022 catalog, printed page 113. Numerical linear dimensions are in millimeters. Lettered references retain the catalog labels; unlabeled callouts are identified by the view and feature. Threaded connections are shown separately. The drawing uses the standard PT version; the selected thread option is stated in the model code table.

Accessories and Ordering Options

The 5A family notes allow manifold integration, but the reviewed pages do not give an exact separately orderable manifold or blank-plate code. Confirm the mounting accessory against the 5A drawing before ordering; no accessory quantity is specified as supplied.

The reviewed 5A ordering table specifies M5 without a thread suffix, and blank = PT for inch ports. Actuation options are 10 single pilot, 20 double pilot, and 30C / 30E / 30P for closed / exhaust / pressure center. These are separate model choices, not adjustable modes of one ordered valve.

Optional Connections and Air Preparation

P/W = valve supply P and separate working ports A/B (PT1/4); E = separate exhaust ports R/S (PT1/8). X = separate PT1/8 pneumatic pilot connection(s), not a working port. Silencers serve exhaust only, ASC/GAFR main supply only. Each other part follows its circuit and flow direction; pilot parts are limited to matching connections and tube. Multiple keys retain each use. Tube OD is mm (in = inches); compression/tubing show OD × ID. These piping accessories are optional and ordered separately.

Code-prefix uses (match the longest listed family prefix): ASC inline threaded flow control; BB male–male; BD male–female; BESL adjustable silencer; BKC compression fitting; BPC metal straight; BPOC metal straight; BSL silencer; BSLM miniature silencer; GAFR upstream filter-regulator; GPSA/PSA inline flow control; PAL plastic silencer; PALM miniature plastic silencer; PC straight; PEB branch tee; PED run tee; PH banjo elbow; PHF female branch banjo; PHW twin banjo; PKD reducing distribution fitting; PL elbow; PLL extended elbow; POC round straight; PPA plug-in silencer; PSL elbow flow control; PSS flow control; PTL push-lock flow control; PYB Y; PZB cross; UE PU tube; US PU tube.

Match PT/G/NPT exactly. Use the specified thread seal or face gasket. Match tube OD and compression OD/ID; metric and inch sizes are not interchangeable. Use suitable soft nylon/PU tube and check seating, clearance, bends and flow. Tighten compression bodies by the hex, not tube nuts. Where listed: D is black, blank grey, -M miniature; -S denotes only the specified 304 stainless parts.

Tube-side flow controls need matching tube connections. PPA silencers need metric push-in exhaust sockets; they are not threaded plugs or vacuum filters. PHF female RB matches the specified male RA thread and seal, not a tube socket. Branches join one circuit; keep working A and B, supply P, exhaust R and S, and independent pilot signals separate.

Keep valve main-air pressure within 0.15–0.8 MPa and temperature within −20–70°C, subject to every stricter component limit. The reviewed pages do not give a separate pilot-control pressure range; confirm the required pilot pressure, flow and signal conditions for the actual valve.

Standard push-in fittings, silencers and flow-control parts: ≤1 MPa, −20–70°C. Metal BPC/BPOC: ≤0.9 MPa; compression fittings/thread adapters: ≤1 MPa. Both metal groups: 0–150°C, limiting the connected 5A path to 0–70°C or narrower. No system vacuum rating is established.

X serves only the separate PT1/8 pilot connection. Use matching connecting fittings and tube while preserving pilot filling and venting. Do not put a flow control, silencer, ASC/GAFR or plug in an active pilot line; a main-port fitting does not establish a pilot connection.

Flow-control suffix A restricts thread→tube, with free reverse flow; suffix B reverses it. Supply normally flows tube→thread and exhaust thread→tube. At valve working ports A and B, suffix A restricts flow to the actuator and suffix B the return; cylinder-mounted orientation differs. Follow the flow symbols, including PSA/GPSA. Closed controls are not leak-tight isolation. Adjust gently without forcing stops; depressurize before tube removal.

Silencers serve only the valve R/S exhaust ports. Check total flow and back pressure, including adjustable silencers and remote exhaust. Never cap an active supply, working, exhaust or pilot connection. No separately orderable 5A manifold or blanking-plate code is established by the reviewed pages; confirm the mounting arrangement against the actual 5A drawing before ordering.

ASC is a separately connected upstream supply flow control; both female ports require matching male connections. Follow P/A markings. Its limits are 0.05–0.95 MPa and −20–70°C with ≤40 µm filtration; actual valve supply remains 0.15–0.8 MPa or narrower. Do not use it to restrict pilot control air.

GAFR is a separately connected upstream main-supply filter/regulator. Both female ports require matching male piping; follow IN→OUT and check total flow and bowl/environment suitability. Inlet ≤1 MPa; regulation 0.15–0.9 MPa; −5–70°C, nonfreezing. Set the 5A supply to 0.15–0.8 MPa and all stricter limits. Listed GAFR S versions have a 40 µm filter, PC bowl, differential/manual drain, bracket and gauge, without a reverse-flow valve.

US98A/UE95A examples are separately ordered blue 100 m metric PU coils rated 1 MPa at 23°C. US98A: −20–70°C; UE95A: −40–70°C. Match OD/ID and derate as temperature rises within valve/component limits; 0.8 MPa is not assured throughout. Use inch tube where the selected connection requires it; metric tube is not a substitute.

PTL recommended cap-adjustment torque: 1/8: 0.08 N·m, 1/4: 0.16 N·m. These are not thread-installation torques.

These catalogue entries do not promise current production, stock or delivery. Confirm the exact item or a manufacturer-approved replacement before ordering. All listed piping and air-preparation options are ordered separately.

    Weight source: 2022 printed page 111, exact size and actuation weight table. This is a catalog reference weight, not a measured packed shipping weight.

    Operation and Catalog Notes

    • The single pilot operates the spool between two positions, with spring return shown in the catalog pneumatic symbol.
    • Sliding-spool construction is designed for sealing and sensitive response. The internal bore uses special processing to reduce friction and starting pressure and support service life.
    • Oil lubrication is not required. If lubricated air is introduced, lubrication must be continued; the catalog recommends ISO VG32 oil or equivalent.
    • Maximum actuation frequency is specified under no-load conditions. Effective area and Cv values are calculated from flow-test data.
    • The series supports manifold integration to save mounting space; select the matching size and catalog mounting arrangement.

    Flow Characteristics

    Catalog model reference Published effective area / Cv
    5A210-08 / 5A220-08 Effective area 17 mm²; Cv 1
    5A230C-08 Effective area 13.6 mm²; Cv 0.8

    The flow curve is labeled 5A210-08. Its axes show operating pressure from 0 to 0.7 MPa and flow in L/min; values are AirTAC laboratory test data. The printed chart range is 0–2000 L/min, which is an axis range rather than a guaranteed operating flow. The figures above retain the exact model labels printed in the table; no unprinted flow rating is assigned to another port size or center function.

    Dimensions and Mounting

    Dimensions follow the applicable drawing in the 2022 catalog, printed page 113. Numerical linear dimensions are in millimeters. Lettered references retain the catalog labels; unlabeled callouts are identified by the view and feature. Threaded connections are shown separately. The drawing uses the standard PT version; the selected thread option is stated in the model code table.

    Accessories and Ordering Options

    The 5A family notes allow manifold integration, but the reviewed pages do not give an exact separately orderable manifold or blank-plate code. Confirm the mounting accessory against the 5A drawing before ordering; no accessory quantity is specified as supplied.

    The reviewed 5A ordering table specifies M5 without a thread suffix, and blank = PT for inch ports. Actuation options are 10 single pilot, 20 double pilot, and 30C / 30E / 30P for closed / exhaust / pressure center. These are separate model choices, not adjustable modes of one ordered valve.

    Optional Connections and Air Preparation

    P/W = valve supply P and separate working ports A/B (PT1/4); E = separate exhaust ports R/S (PT1/8). X = separate PT1/8 pneumatic pilot connection(s), not a working port. Silencers serve exhaust only, ASC/GAFR main supply only. Each other part follows its circuit and flow direction; pilot parts are limited to matching connections and tube. Multiple keys retain each use. Tube OD is mm (in = inches); compression/tubing show OD × ID. These piping accessories are optional and ordered separately.

    Code-prefix uses (match the longest listed family prefix): ASC inline threaded flow control; BB male–male; BD male–female; BESL adjustable silencer; BKC compression fitting; BPC metal straight; BPOC metal straight; BSL silencer; BSLM miniature silencer; GAFR upstream filter-regulator; GPSA/PSA inline flow control; PAL plastic silencer; PALM miniature plastic silencer; PC straight; PEB branch tee; PED run tee; PH banjo elbow; PHF female branch banjo; PHW twin banjo; PKD reducing distribution fitting; PL elbow; PLL extended elbow; POC round straight; PPA plug-in silencer; PSL elbow flow control; PSS flow control; PTL push-lock flow control; PYB Y; PZB cross; UE PU tube; US PU tube.

    Match PT/G/NPT exactly. Use the specified thread seal or face gasket. Match tube OD and compression OD/ID; metric and inch sizes are not interchangeable. Use suitable soft nylon/PU tube and check seating, clearance, bends and flow. Tighten compression bodies by the hex, not tube nuts. Where listed: D is black, blank grey, -M miniature; -S denotes only the specified 304 stainless parts.

    Tube-side flow controls need matching tube connections. PPA silencers need metric push-in exhaust sockets; they are not threaded plugs or vacuum filters. PHF female RB matches the specified male RA thread and seal, not a tube socket. Branches join one circuit; keep working A and B, supply P, exhaust R and S, and independent pilot signals separate.

    Keep valve main-air pressure within 0.15–0.8 MPa and temperature within −20–70°C, subject to every stricter component limit. The reviewed pages do not give a separate pilot-control pressure range; confirm the required pilot pressure, flow and signal conditions for the actual valve.

    Standard push-in fittings, silencers and flow-control parts: ≤1 MPa, −20–70°C. Metal BPC/BPOC: ≤0.9 MPa; compression fittings/thread adapters: ≤1 MPa. Both metal groups: 0–150°C, limiting the connected 5A path to 0–70°C or narrower. No system vacuum rating is established.

    X serves only the separate PT1/8 pilot connection. Use matching connecting fittings and tube while preserving pilot filling and venting. Do not put a flow control, silencer, ASC/GAFR or plug in an active pilot line; a main-port fitting does not establish a pilot connection.

    Flow-control suffix A restricts thread→tube, with free reverse flow; suffix B reverses it. Supply normally flows tube→thread and exhaust thread→tube. At valve working ports A and B, suffix A restricts flow to the actuator and suffix B the return; cylinder-mounted orientation differs. Follow the flow symbols, including PSA/GPSA. Closed controls are not leak-tight isolation. Adjust gently without forcing stops; depressurize before tube removal.

    Silencers serve only the valve R/S exhaust ports. Check total flow and back pressure, including adjustable silencers and remote exhaust. Never cap an active supply, working, exhaust or pilot connection. No separately orderable 5A manifold or blanking-plate code is established by the reviewed pages; confirm the mounting arrangement against the actual 5A drawing before ordering.

    ASC is a separately connected upstream supply flow control; both female ports require matching male connections. Follow P/A markings. Its limits are 0.05–0.95 MPa and −20–70°C with ≤40 µm filtration; actual valve supply remains 0.15–0.8 MPa or narrower. Do not use it to restrict pilot control air.

    GAFR is a separately connected upstream main-supply filter/regulator. Both female ports require matching male piping; follow IN→OUT and check total flow and bowl/environment suitability. Inlet ≤1 MPa; regulation 0.15–0.9 MPa; −5–70°C, nonfreezing. Set the 5A supply to 0.15–0.8 MPa and all stricter limits. Listed GAFR S versions have a 40 µm filter, PC bowl, differential/manual drain, bracket and gauge, without a reverse-flow valve.

    US98A/UE95A examples are separately ordered blue 100 m metric PU coils rated 1 MPa at 23°C. US98A: −20–70°C; UE95A: −40–70°C. Match OD/ID and derate as temperature rises within valve/component limits; 0.8 MPa is not assured throughout. Use inch tube where the selected connection requires it; metric tube is not a substitute.

    PTL recommended cap-adjustment torque: 1/8: 0.08 N·m, 1/4: 0.16 N·m. These are not thread-installation torques.

    These catalogue entries do not promise current production, stock or delivery. Confirm the exact item or a manufacturer-approved replacement before ordering. All listed piping and air-preparation options are ordered separately.
