5/2 Single Pilot Valve

A 5/2 single pilot valve pneumatic fitting is a specific type of pneumatic valve used in control systems, often in industrial automation or machinery. Let’s break down its components:

1. 5/2 Valve: The “5” represents the number of ports, and the “2” indicates the number of positions. In this case, a 5/2 valve has five ports and two positions.
   • Ports: These valves typically have five ports: P, A, B, EA, and EB.
     • P: Pressure inlet port
     • A: Outlet to an actuator (such as a cylinder)
     • B: Exhaust from the actuator
     • EA: Exhaust for position A
     • EB: Exhaust for position B
   • Positions: The valve can have two positions: one for the normal state and the other when activated (usually by an electrical signal or manual control).
2. Single Pilot Operation: This indicates that the valve is controlled by a single pilot or control signal. It means that the valve’s switching mechanism is activated or controlled by a single source or input.
3. Pneumatic Fitting: The valve is designed to be compatible with pneumatic systems. Pneumatic fittings are connectors used to join sections of pneumatic tubing or pipe. These fittings ensure a secure and leak-free connection between different components of the pneumatic system, such as valves, actuators, hoses, or air supply lines.

Overall, a 5/2 single pilot valve pneumatic fitting is a specific type of valve used in pneumatic systems that has five ports, two positions, and is operated or controlled by a single pilot signal, and it typically incorporates fittings to connect to pneumatic components.
