Product Overview
The METAL WORK 562 B24 is a pneumatically actuated solenoid valve engineered for precise directional control of compressed air and neutral gases in industrial process circuits. Manufactured by METAL WORK (Pneumax Group), a recognized specialist in pneumatic automation components, this valve operates on a spool-and-sleeve principle in which an electrical solenoid pilots the internal spool to switch, distribute, or interrupt airflow across its ports. The 562 series is designed for direct inline or manifold mounting within pneumatic control panels, delivering fast response, repeatable actuation, and long service life in continuous-duty automation environments. As a general process and pneumatic valve, it serves as a critical control element in circuits requiring reliable directional switching rather than fluid power generation.

Engineering Features & Advantages
- Precision Performance: Balanced spool design ensures consistent switching force and minimal pressure drop across the valve, maintaining stable downstream flow and repeatable cycle timing in pneumatic control circuits.
- Fast Solenoid Response: Low-inertia solenoid pilot and optimized return spring deliver rapid opening and closing times, supporting high-cycle automation sequences without lag or spool hesitation.
- Industrial Reliability: Built for continuous operation under severe industrial conditions, with wear-resistant sealing elements and a robust body construction that withstands vibration, thermal cycling, and contaminated plant air.
- Direct Fit Replacement: Exact dimensional and functional compatibility with original OEM standards, allowing drop-in replacement on existing METAL WORK 562 series manifolds and sub-bases without modification.
Typical Industrial Applications
The METAL WORK 562 B24 is deployed across heavy industrial scenarios including plastic injection molding machines for mold clamping and ejection sequencing, metallurgical presses for pneumatic safety interlocks and actuator control, packaging and assembly automation lines requiring high-speed directional switching, and general process plant pneumatic panels where reliable solenoid-piloted air control is essential. It is equally suited to CNC machine tool tending systems, material handling grippers, and marine or construction equipment pneumatic circuits operating under demanding duty cycles.
