|3/4/5 Port Solenoid Valves

What type of product is the VEX3□□□ 3-port 3-position valve?

VEX3 series valves are 3-way 3-position closed center type valves.
While a normal 3-port valve’s ON/OFF is performed by turning a single solenoid ON/OFF, VEX3 series valves have a double solenoid, allowing for the switching between flow paths to be performed by turning 2 solenoids ON/OFF. All ports are closed when both solenoids are OFF.
These valves can be used for stopping a cylinder at an intermediate position, vacuum suction, vacuum break, and selector valves and divider valves.
