Description

1/4" NAMUR Pneumatic Solenoid Valve – CY525-02S 3/2 & 5/2 Way


The CY525-02S is a versatile 1/4" NAMUR pneumatic solenoid valve designed for direct mounting onto quarter-turn pneumatic actuators used with ball valves, butterfly valves and process control equipment.

A reversible NAMUR switching gasket allows the same valve to be configured for either 3/2 way operation with single-acting spring-return actuators or 5/2 way operation with double-acting actuators. This reduces the number of different NAMUR valves required for actuator assembly, replacement and stockholding.

Featuring internal pilot operation, lockable manual override, IP65 protection and optional ATEX / IECEx or Intrinsically Safe solenoid operators, the CY525-02S provides a flexible solution for general industrial and hazardous-area pneumatic actuator control.

NAMUR 3/2 & 5/2 Way Configuration

The supplied reversible NAMUR switching gasket allows the CY525-02S to be converted between 3/2 and 5/2 way operation without changing the valve body.
3/2 Way
Used with single-acting spring-return pneumatic actuators.
Energising the solenoid supplies pilot air to operate the actuator. When electrical power is removed, the valve spring returns and allows the pneumatic actuator's internal springs to return the actuator to its normal position.
5/2 Way
Used with double-acting pneumatic actuators.
Energising and de-energising the single-solenoid spring-return valve alternately supplies compressed air to the actuator ports, providing powered movement in both directions.
This configurable design allows one CY525 valve platform to be used with both common types of quarter-turn pneumatic actuator.

This option is particularly suitable for process plants and hazardous-area installations using intrinsically safe instrumentation and control systems.

Manual Override

The lockable manual override allows the CY525-02S to be operated without electrically energising the solenoid.
This is particularly useful during:
Commissioning
Actuator setup
Valve positioning
Functional testing
Maintenance
Fault diagnosis

Supplied Accessories

NAMUR mounting bolts
M5 × 40mm screws
Washers
Reversible NAMUR switching gasket
The valve is supplied ready for direct installation onto a compatible NAMUR pneumatic actuator.

Typical Applications

Pneumatic ball valves
Pneumatic butterfly valves
Single-acting spring-return actuators
Double-acting pneumatic actuators
Quarter-turn valve automation
Process automation
Chemical processing
Water treatment
Oil and gas installations
OEM actuated valve packages
Industrial automation
Hazardous-area installations

Quality & Reliability

Every CY525 valve is individually function tested before dispatch to ensure reliable operation and consistent performance.
The anodised aluminium construction, internal pilot operation, lockable manual override and configurable 3/2 or 5/2 way NAMUR interface provide a versatile solution for both single and double-acting pneumatic actuator control.
