3 Way Valves

MAC Valves Direct Operated 3 Way

Valve with 3 ports, inlet, outlet (cylinder) and exhaust. They are generally used to operate spring return cylinders or as pilots for larger diaphragm or piston valves.

Small 3 Ways
Max Cv .08 to 1.2
Port Sizes 1/8″ – 1/4″ – M3 – M5 – #10-32

Large 3 Ways
Max Cv 1.5 to 60
Port Sizes 1/8″ to 2 1/2″

MAC Valves Solenoid Operated 3 Way

Valves with 3 ports; inlet, outlet (cylinder) and exhaust. They are generally used to operate spring return cylinders or as pilots for larger diaphragm or piston operated valves

Small 3 Way Valves

Air flows up to 1.2 Cv

The MAC 100 Series is a direct solenoid operated 3-way poppet valve.  It features a short stroke solenoid, a balanced poppet and powerful return spring.  These features translate into high shifting forces, fast consistent response times, and long life.  Our unique balanced design means versatility in piping – the valve can be configured as a 3-way or 2-way – normally closed or normally open or can be used for vacuum, diverter, or selector applications.
The MAC 31 series is a direct solenoid operated 3-way – 6mm – poppet valve. A direct operated 3-way of this size with such high flow is unique to MAC due to patented design innovations. It features an oval armature in the solenoid, a balanced poppet and powerful return spring. These features translate into high shifting forces, fast consistent response times, high flow in a small package and long life.
The MAC 35 series is a direct solenoid operated 3-way poppet valve.  It features a short stroke solenoid, a balanced poppet and powerful return spring.  These features translate into high shifting forces, fast consistent response times, and long life.  Our unique balanced design means virsatility in piping – the valve can be configured as a 3-way or 2-way – normally closed or normally open or can be used for vacuum, diverter or selector applications.

Large 3 Way Valves

Air flows from 1.5 Cv and higher

The MAC 52 Series is a 3-way balanced spool valve pilot operated by a small direct operated 4-way solenoid valve – a one-off in valve manufacturing.  The 4-way pilot means a low minimum operating pressure – no pistons – and minimal resistance to shifting.  The balanced design in the pilot means shifting forces are consistently high and response times are repeatable regardless of inlet pressure fluctuations.
