Centre Functions
X Centre (Exhaust Centre)
When both solenoids are de-energised, both cylinder ports are connected to exhaust, allowing the actuator to vent safely.
Typical applications:
Emergency stop systems
Safe cylinder depressurisation
Pneumatic safety circuits
Y Centre (Pressure Centre)
When both solenoids are de-energised, both cylinder ports remain pressurised, helping to hold the actuator position under normal operating conditions.
Typical applications:
Position holding
Clamping systems
Process automation
Accessories
Compatible manifold systems available.
See MF520 Pneumatic Valve Manifolds in the related products and select the correct port size and number of stations to suit your application.
