What is a Single Solenoid valve?

The definition of a solenoid valve is an electro-mechanical valve that is commonly employed to control the flow of liquid or gas. There are various solenoid valve types, but the main variants are either pilot operated or direct acting. Pilot operated valves, the most widely used, utilise system line pressure to open and close the main orifice in the valve body.

While Direct operated solenoid valves directly open or close the main valve orifice, which is the only flow path in the valve. They are used in systems requiring low flow capacities or applications with low pressure differential across the valve orifice.

Single Solenoid valve or Directional Control Valve – How They Work

Directional control valves are used in pneumatic systems to direct or stop the flow of compressed air or oil to their appliances. They are probably the most used elements in pneumatic systems and can be used for example to actuate a cylinder, a larger industrial valve, or air tools. The valves can have two or more ports and fulfill various circuit functions. The function and behavior of the valve can be indicated by a symbol. The symbol however doesnt explain the construction of the valve. Directional control valves can be actuated by different means, such as manual actuation or solenoid actuation.

3/2-way valve

A 3/2-way valve has three ports and two states. They are used for instance to control a single-acting cylinder. The valve is used to fill the cylinder, but also to vent the cylinder afterward to realize a new working stroke. Therefore, a valve with two ports would not be sufficient. A third port is required for venting. 3/2-way valves can be mono-stable or bi-stable. Just like 2/2-way valves, mono-stable 3/2-way valves can be normally closed or normally open.

  1. This is a high-quality Festo valve built for industrial-grade usage. The 1/2-inch solenoid valve handles heavy airflow with ease, and the switching response is instant. Installation is straightforward, and it integrates seamlessly with PLC control outputs.

  2. Excellent performance and precision control. The Festo MFH-3 3/2-way valve has excellent sealing and maintains stable operation under 6–8 bar. We use it in our packaging machines, and it’s been working flawlessly for months.

  3. Superb valve quality from Festo. The MFH-3 series has proven to be very reliable in our air actuation setups. Quick response, no air leakage, and robust metal body construction. Highly recommended for industrial automation.

  4. This valve is perfect for heavy-duty pneumatic systems. The 1/2-inch port size allows excellent airflow, and the single solenoid mechanism provides stable control. The coil stays cool even after continuous cycles. Easy to mount and service.

  5. The Festo MFH-3 3/2 Way Solenoid Valve (1/2″) delivers exceptional performance. The actuation is quick, the air flow rate is strong, and the body feels extremely durable. We’ve installed it on our pneumatic press line — absolutely reliable even in 24×7 operation.
