Double Solenoid Operation
The AM520-01D uses two independently energised solenoids.
Power applied to one coil shifts the valve to one operating position.
Power applied to the opposite coil returns the valve to the alternate position.
The valve remains in its last selected position after power is removed, making it ideal for applications where the valve must maintain position during power interruption.
Manual override allows operation during commissioning, maintenance and fault finding.
Mounting Options
Body ported valve
Base mounted valve (AM520B)
MF520 manifold systems
Suitable for multiple valve manifold assemblies for compact pneumatic installations.
Typical Applications
Double-acting pneumatic cylinders
Machine automation
