Solenoid valves for controlling compressed air and media
Solenoid valves are used to control flow and direction in pneumatic systems. The choice of valve directly affects response time, operational reliability and integration into the control system. At Hans Buch, we help you select the solution that meets both your application and control requirements.
Types of solenoid valves
We supply solenoid valves for both standard and specialist applications.
- 2/2-way valves
- 3/2-way valves
- 5/2- and 5/3-way valves
- Direct-acting valves
- Pilot-operated valves
- Valve terminals
- Specialist valves for specific media and applications
Typical applications
Solenoid valves are widely used in automated systems where precise and rapid control is essential.
- Control of cylinders and actuators
- Automation and production lines
- Machine building
- Process plants
- OEM solutions
Choosing a solenoid valve
The right choice depends on the medium, control system and performance requirements.
- Function (ports/positions) → e.g. 3/2 or 5/2
- Flow and pressure → must match the system’s needs
- Response time → important at high cycle rates
- Voltage and control → integration with a PLC
- Environment → temperature, dust, moisture or ATEX requirements
- Medium → air, gas or liquid
Benefits of choosing the right valve
- Stable and precise control
- Fast response and high cycle rate
- Reduced energy consumption
- Less wear on components
- Easy integration into existing systems
