The 2 Position / 5 Ports (1/4") Mechanical Valve is a compact, rugged, and manually or mechanically actuated pneumatic valve designed to control the direction of airflow in double-acting cylinders and pneumatic systems. With a 5/2-way configuration, this valve allows air to alternate between two outputs while simultaneously exhausting the opposite side, ensuring smooth reciprocating motion in actuators.

This mechanical valve operates without any electrical input. It is activated through a roller lever, plunger, push button, or toggle mechanism, making it ideal for environments where electrical components are undesirable, such as wet, dusty, or explosive zones.

Equipped with 1/4" BSP/NPT ports, the valve supports higher airflow compared to smaller sizes, making it suitable for medium-duty automation tasks. Built using anodized aluminum or zinc alloy, and sealed with NBR or optional Viton, the valve resists corrosion and guarantees performance under continuous operation up to 8 bar.

Compact, fast-acting, and easy to mount, this valve finds applications in mechanical jigs, double-acting actuators, clamping tools, material handling systems, and more.
