Product Overview
The UNIVER AF-2540 is a pneumatically actuated directional control valve engineered for precise management of compressed air circuits in industrial automation and process systems. Manufactured by UNIVER, a recognized specialist in pneumatic and hydraulic control components, this valve utilizes a balanced spool-and-sleeve design that shifts under pilot air pressure to direct, divert, or block flow between ports. Its role in industrial systems is to provide reliable, repeatable switching of pneumatic actuators, cylinders, and air-operated process equipment, ensuring consistent cycle performance and safe circuit isolation.
