Description
M5 5/2 Way Double Solenoid Pneumatic Valve – PU521D
The PU521D is a compact M5 5/2 way double solenoid pneumatic valve designed for reliable directional control of small double-acting pneumatic cylinders and air actuators. Combining a lightweight anodised aluminium body with an efficient internal pilot design, it delivers dependable operation, low power consumption and fast response for OEM machinery, compact automation equipment and miniature pneumatic control systems.
Featuring dual solenoids with manual override, IP65 protection, multiple voltage options and optional manifold mounting, the PU521 Series is ideal where installation space is limited but reliable pneumatic performance is essential.

Double Solenoid Operation
The PU521D 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 easy commissioning, maintenance and system testing without electrical power.
Mounting Options
Body ported valve
Base mounted valve (B type)
MF521 manifold systems
Suitable for compact manifold assemblies with multiple valve stations.
Typical Applications
Miniature pneumatic cylinders
Compact automation equipment
