AIGNEP 1/8" MECHANICAL ACTIVE VALVE - 5/2 WAY

The AIGNEP 01VV series mechanically actuated valve is an essential component for pneumatic systems requiring manual or mechanical control of compressed air flow. This 5-way, 2-position (5/2) mechanical valve is tappet-actuated and spring-return . Its robust and functional design makes it ideal for controlling double-acting pneumatic cylinders, allowing precise control of both the advance and retraction of the stem. When mechanically actuated, this valve offers a reliable solution where the control signal comes from a physical contact or the movement of machinery, eliminating the need for electrical components at certain points in the system.

Designed to operate in a pressure range of 2 to 10 bar, it features G1/8" (BSPP) pneumatic connections for easy installation in most standard pneumatic systems.

This type of valve is commonly used as a limit switch in automation, detecting the position of an actuator or moving component to initiate the next phase of a work cycle. It is also essential in safety systems, presses, assembly machines, and any application requiring pneumatic control activated by the physical presence or movement of a part.
