How to choose Universal directional control valves
What matters when choosing: properties, comparison and typical applications.
Technical features - universal valve ranges
Selection criteria
Universal directional valves are selected by port size (M5 to G 1/4), switching function (3/2, 5/2, 5/3), actuation type (electrical, pneumatic), and wiring concept (plug-in, single connector, central connector). CPE valves suit universal MPA and CPX valve terminals; VUVG/VUVS are optimised for decentralised mounting and shorter tubing runs. For existing plants with Tiger series valves, Classic and Tiger-2000 types are available as replacements.
Typical applications
Typical applications: General industrial automation with PLC-controlled valve terminals, assembly and handling systems, packaging machines, compressed air network controls without specific standard requirements, maintenance and service of existing plants with Tiger series valves, and special machines with application-specific valve configurations.
