Standards-based directional control valves
Electric or pneumatic directional control valves can be used to control actuators. Mechanically actuated valves can be actuated using 12, 24, 110 and 230 V. Common variants are, for example, 3/2- or 5/3-way valves. Mechanically operated directional control valves are switched by a button, a lever, a pedal or a spring, for example. Pneumatic valves, on the other hand, are actuated by compressed air.
Standards-based directional control valves from Festo are available with electric or pneumatic actuation.
