Functional engineering application
The BLX-DCV-4100 5/2-Way Solenoid Directional Control Valve provides precise, fast-response pneumatic direction control for double-acting pneumatic cylinders, actuators, and air grippers. Constructed from precision CNC-machined anodized aluminum alloy with a micro-lapped stainless steel spool and wear-resistant NBR seals, this valve offers exceptional cycle life exceeding 20 million operations. The valve is equipped with a low-power encapsulated solenoid coil with integrated LED indicator plug connector compliant with DIN 43650B standards. A manual override lock button allows commissioning, line testing, and maintenance positioning without requiring electrical power.
High-performance 5-port 2-position pilot-operated pneumatic solenoid directional control valve with 1/4" BSP female ports, 24VDC/230VAC coil options, manual override, and IP65 DIN connector.

Common questions on this part
A 5/2-way valve has five ports and two positions, specifically designed to control double-acting cylinders by alternately pressurizing and exhausting both cylinder chambers. A 3/2-way valve has three ports and controls single-acting cylinders or spring-return actuators.
Yes. The BLX-DCV-4100 shares the standard 4V210 footprint and can be mounted individually or installed on modular 2 to 10-station aluminum manifold bases for compact cabinet wiring.
The manual override button can be pressed momentarily for instantaneous actuation or pressed and rotated 90 degrees to lock the spool in the energized position during system commissioning.
Yes. STARNEX stocks interchangeable 24VDC, 110VAC, and 230VAC DIN solenoid coils with LED connectors at our Nairobi trade counter.
Yes. Standard pneumatic valves are in stock on our shelves for immediate trade counter collection or courier dispatch across Kenya.
