A compact pneumatic directional control valve with a 5/2 spool design, a right-hand side air inlet, and a handle for manual actuation.

Key features:

• 5/2 Spool Design: This valve has a spool with 5 positions and 2 exhaust positions, offering more complex airflow control than 3/2 valves.
  • 5 Positions: The spool can connect the inlet to different outlets, vent specific ports, or block the flow entirely depending on the handle position.
  • 2 Exhaust Positions: It has two exhaust ports for venting air from either direction depending on the spool position.
• Directional Control Valve: It controls the direction of airflow in a pneumatic system based on the handle position.
• Handle Actuation: A manually operated handle allows for easy control of the spool position.
• Right Feeding: The air inlet is located on the right side of the valve relative to the handle position.

Applications:
This valve is suitable for various applications requiring manual control of complex airflow paths. Here are some examples:

• Double-acting pneumatic cylinders: These cylinders require airflow in both directions to extend and retract. This valve can control airflow for both directions using the handle.
• Operating air tools: The handle allows for easy actuation of air flow to power air tools.
• Cascading actuators in a sequence: In systems with multiple pneumatic actuators working sequentially, this valve can be used to control pressurization and venting of each actuator using the handle positions.
