Overview
The Univer AC-8500 is an industrial-grade solenoid valve designed for precise pneumatic control in manufacturing and automation systems. This mixed 5/2 valve features a direct-acting poppet seat mechanism and is widely used to control double-acting pneumatic cylinders. The valve is supplied without coil, connector, or locking nut, making it configurable for your specific electrical requirements.
