5/3 Way Double Solenoid Valves

A 5/3 way double solenoid valves has one input, two output, and two exhaust ports, also known as a 5-port, 3-position double solenoid directional control valve. The double-solenoid valve has no spring return function.

When a coil is activated, it achieves a position, and when it is de-energized, it returns to a mid-position. The other coil must be energized to attain a different position, and when it de-energizes, it returns to the mid-position.

In this type of valve, the position is achieved by energizing the coils.

The mid-position of 5/3 way double solenoid valves might be closed-center, exhaust center, or pressure center.

Closed Center – Air cannot flow from the actuator port or the exhaust port while the center is closed. All of the ports, including the input, output, and exhaust, are blocked or closed. The air cylinder cannot be accessed through the valve, and the cylinder cannot be accessed through the valve. As a result, the air cylinder’s movement will come to a halt. In other words, no air can enter or exit the cylinder, and it comes to a halt.
