5/2 Double Pilot Valve

A “5/2 Double Pilot Valve” in pneumatic systems refers to a specific type of pneumatic valve that controls the flow of compressed air. Let’s break down what each part of the designation means:

1. 5/2: This notation refers to the valve’s configuration and function.
   • The “5” indicates the number of ports on the valve. In this case, it’s a 5-port valve.
   • The “2” denotes the number of positions the valve can assume. This means it’s a 2-position valve.
2. Double Pilot Valve: This term indicates that the valve is controlled by two separate pilot signals. Pilot signals are smaller pneumatic or electrical signals used to control larger valves or systems.

A 5/2 valve typically consists of five ports – one pressure inlet, two cylinder connections, and two exhaust ports. These valves are commonly used to control double-acting pneumatic cylinders where air needs to be directed to either side of the cylinder to extend or retract it.

Please note that the specifics of the valve’s design, dimensions, compatibility, and usage might vary depending on the manufacturer or the particular model. It’s essential to refer to the manufacturer’s documentation or product specifications for precise details on a particular 5/2 Double Pilot Valve pneumatic fitting.
