JOUCOMATIC 541 90 029 – ISO 1 5/3-Way Exhaust Center Solenoid Valve

JOUCOMATIC 541 90 029 – ISO 1 5/3-Way Exhaust Center Solenoid Valve

The JOUCOMATIC 541 90 029 is a high-performance 5/3-way solenoid valve with an exhaust center function, designed for precise control of compressed air or neutral gases. This valve, which is also part of the ASCO brand family, conforms to the ISO 5599/1 standard and is designed for sub-base mounting. The exhaust center position allows a connected pneumatic cylinder to “float” or move freely when the solenoids are de-energized. This is a crucial feature for applications requiring a mid-stroke stop without resistance.

Key Features

• 5/3-Way Function: The valve has five ports and three positions, with a unique exhaust center.
• Exhaust Center: In the neutral, un-actuated position, the work ports are connected to the exhaust ports, allowing the cylinder’s piston to float.
• Double Solenoid Actuation: The valve is actuated by two solenoid pilots and returns to the center position via springs.
• ISO 1 Size: Conforms to the ISO 5599/1 standard for size, with a high flow rate of approximately 1400 l/min.
• Versatile Control: Ideal for applications requiring precise control over the position of a pneumatic cylinder.

About this Valve Function

The pneumatic symbol in the image indicates a 5/3-way valve with an exhaust center. This means it has 5 ports (1 pressure, 2 work, 2 exhaust) and 3 positions.

When the valve is in its neutral, un-actuated center position, all work ports (4 and 2) are connected to their respective exhaust ports (5 and 3). This allows the pressure in a connected pneumatic cylinder to vent, which allows the cylinder’s piston to move freely or “float” in a stopped position. The valve is double-solenoid, spring-centered. It requires a continuous electrical signal to either solenoid to hold it in the shifted position. Removing the signal from both solenoids returns the valve to the center position.
