Guaranteed to function for 50 million cycles
CNC machined body, anodized and painted to ensure precision and durability over time
Internal metal components to limit thermal expansion
The VY series solenoid valves by Airwork have characteristics of great robustness, reliability and versatility of assembly.
In fact, the VY series valves can be mounted in different ways: in-line, on the wall, on a multiple base, on manifolds and even directly on the cylinder.
They are available in three sizes 1/8, 1/4 and 1/2 in the functions 3/2, 5/2 and 5/3.

What industrial pneumatic systems require today
Modern pneumatic architectures — assembly lines in the automotive sector, pick-and-place systems in packaging, dosing islands in pharmaceuticals — require machine cycles with actuation times in the order of a few tens of milliseconds.
Added to this is the push to reduce footprint and limit energy consumption: compressed air accounts for 20–30% of the electrical energy in a typical manufacturing plant, and every watt dissipated by a coil or every millisecond of switching delay translates into tangible operating costs.
In this context, selecting a solenoid valve can no longer be based only on nominal flow rate and port size. It must consider the component’s impact on dynamic performance, efficiency and reliability of the entire system.
