M5 Series 5/2 Way Mechanical Valve | M5 Thread Stroke & Manual Control Valve

Brand: SOLH by Richge Technology | 5/2 Way Spring Return Mechanical & Hand Control Valve with M5×0.8 Thread

1. Product Overview

     The SOLH M5 series is a professional 5/2 way spool-type mechanical valve with unified M5×0.8 fine thread interface. Featuring coil-free design, it realizes air circuit reversing purely by external mechanical force and automatic spring reset. Widely applied for cylinder stroke limit positioning, in-place signal feedback and equipment manual start-stop pneumatic control. The full series covers two core types: mechanical trigger (roller / plunger) and manual control (button / lever). It is fully interchangeable with AirTAC M5 series and universal domestic mechanical valves for direct replacement.

  1.1 Standard Air Port Definition

     • P Port: Main compressed air inlet

     • A/B Working Ports: Connect with double-acting cylinders for telescopic control

     • R1/R2 Dual Exhaust Ports: Side-mounted exhaust ports of the valve body, directly compatible with micro muffler installation for noise reduction and dust prevention

     • Core Function: 5/2 way spring return structure, automatically resets to the original state after external force is removed

2. Model Coding & Head Type Selection Guide (Core Selection Basis)

  1. Unified Coding Rule: M5【Head Code】-05 (05 stands for unified M5 thread port for full series)

  2. Model Example: M5R-05 | Roller lever type 5/2 way mechanical valve with standard M5 thread port

3. Core Technical Parameters

4. Structural Core Advantages

     • Balanced Spool Structure: Adopts balanced slide spool design, free from air source back pressure interference. Requires only small external force to complete reversing action with sensitive and lightweight operation.

     • Dual Split Exhaust Design: Independent R1/R2 bilateral exhaust ports with external layout. Directly install micro mufflers to realize efficient noise reduction and dust isolation, ensuring stable long-term operation.

     • Multi-Angle Installation: The upper and lower parts of the valve body are reserved with mounting holes, supporting arbitrary angle fixed installation to adapt to various equipment space layouts.

     • Full Series Universal Interchangeability: Unified overall valve body size for the entire M5 series, compatible with the same specification manifold base for free replacement and modular assembly.

5. Supporting Accessories & Manifold Base

     • M5 Manifold Base (M5M): 1F/2F/3F multi-link manifold plates, realizing centralized P-port air supply, replacing scattered single-valve piping to simplify circuit layout.

     • Supporting Auxiliaries: M5 to G1/8 reducing straight fittings, M5 micro mufflers, M5 quick connectors (matching φ3/φ4 air pipes), fixed mounting brackets.

6. Selection Distinction: M5 vs S3 Mechanical Valve

7. Classic Application Circuits

     • Cylinder Limit Control: Cylinder baffle triggers M5R roller mechanical valve, outputs pilot air signal to control 4V solenoid valve, realizing automatic reversing when cylinder reaches the designated position.

     • Manual Start-Stop Control: M5PP mushroom button valve directly controls the telescopic action of small double-acting cylinders for on-site manual operation.

     • Assembly Line Tooling Detection: M5B plunger top rod valve acts as a mold in-place detection switch to realize automatic pneumatic logic triggering for tooling positioning.

One Sentence Summary

     The SOLH M5 series is a full-functional 5/2 way spring return mechanical valve with unified M5×0.8 thread. Integrating mechanical stroke limit and multiple manual control modes, it features sensitive action, durable performance and universal interchangeability, being the preferred micro pneumatic control component for cylinder signal feedback and equipment manual pneumatic switching.
