Pneumatics: 5/2 valve & double acting cylinder | |
   | The circuit (schematic) diagram for a 5/2 valve driving a double acting cylinder is shown. Note that the 5/2 valve is shown with a lever actuator. With the lever in one position, one side of the piston is connected to the compressed air supply and the other side is allowed to exhaust. With the lever in the other position, the other side of the piston is connected to the compressed air supply, and the first side is allowed to exhaust. |
