4M Series Pilot Operated Side Panel 5 Way Solenoid Valve

4M Series Pilot Operated Side Face 5-Way Solenoid Valve is a core component designed for industrial fluid power control. It adopts the pilot operated principle and compact side face mounting structure, and is suitable for direct actuation and control of actuators in automation systems.

Its core features include: 
Pilot-operated air path design: the use of pneumatic pilot pressure to drive the main spool action significantly reduces the operating load on the solenoid coil and improves the overall response speed and reliability of the valve, especially for medium and high-pressure gas supply conditions.

Five-way functional structure: Integration of five fluid passages to form a standard pneumatic reversing circuit. The design allows compressed air to flow in both directions between the designated inlet and outlet, and can realize the pressure switching between the two working chambers of the actuator (such as cylinders) and the necessary exhaust function.

Side panel mounting ports: The valve body design features standardized side panel mounting ports. This allows the valve to be compactly mounted directly to standardized actuators (e.g., ISO ports on cylinders) or other manifolds without the need for additional piping connections, saving space and simplifying the complexity of air line connections.

Compact and integrated design: The side panel mounting format facilitates a high degree of integration of the valve and actuator into a compact pneumatic unit. This not only reduces the risk of potential leakage at external connection points, but also improves the overall rigidity and stability of the system.

Simplified Installation and Maintenance: The direct side panel connection eliminates a large number of fittings and couplings, which significantly reduces the difficulty of assembling and maintaining the system. Replacing valves or related components is easier and helps reduce downtime.

Universal application suitability: The standardized interfaces and five-way functionality of the series make it a versatile choice for a wide range of industrial automation scenarios that require the actuation of double-acting actuators, such as material handling, assembly fixtures, process control, and more. The design focuses on basic and extensive pneumatic commutation needs.

The core value of this solenoid valve is the innovative mounting of the actuator directly on the side panel surface combined with the pilot-operated 5-way function, which provides the basis for an efficient, compact and easy-to-maintain pneumatic control system.
