Pneumatic Actuation Valve 5/2 with Spring Return | Aignep

The AIGNEP 01VP050003 Pneumatic Actuated Valve, 5/2 Way with Spring Return is a Series 01V directional valve actuated by a compressed air signal (pneumatic pilot) instead of an electric solenoid, designed for controlling double-acting pneumatic cylinders in environments where electricity is not possible or desirable at the control point. Monostable with automatic spring return when the pilot signal ceases. Compatible with standard Series 01V manifold mounting. Anodized aluminum body, nickel-plated spool, NBR seals. Operates up to 10 bar. Manufactured in Italy by AIGNEP.

Pneumatic vs. Electric (Solenoid) Actuation — When to use each?

• Pneumatic actuation (this valve — 01VP): The command signal is compressed air. Ideal for ATEX zones, humid or explosive environments where electrical wiring is not viable, or in purely pneumatic circuits without PLCs.
• Electric actuation (solenoid — 01VS): The command signal is electrical (24 VDC, etc.). Ideal for PLC control in standard automation.
• Mechanical actuation (01VV): The command signal is physical contact (tappet). Ideal for pneumatic limit switches.

Applications

• Control of double-acting pneumatic cylinders using a compressed air signal
• Pneumatic circuits without PLCs or electricity at the control point
• ATEX zones or explosive environments where electrical wiring is not viable
• Cascades and pure pneumatic logic circuits
• Mounting on a Series 01V manifold for pneumatic control panels
• Industrial machinery and OEM equipment with distributed pneumatic control
