Product catalog summary

Introduction
MAC Valves Inc. is a leader in solenoid air valve technology, known for its innovative designs and global patents. Their products are characterized by reliability, speed, and ease of maintenance, with features like compact packaging, modularity, and low wattage. Notable innovations include the oval-shaped armature solenoid and 4-way pilot technologies, which enhance shifting forces in compact designs.

Key Innovations
Oval Shaped Armature Solenoid: This design increases coil windings and core iron volume, ensuring reliable operation even with contaminated air. The oval shape optimizes space and enhances magnetism and force.
4-Way Pilot System: This system ensures consistent response times and reliability by alternately supplying air to each end of the spool, unaffected by air pressure changes and minimizing friction.

Global Network and Support
MAC Valves operates in 45 countries with 200 service centers and 1000 certified specialists, providing global support and customized solutions.

Guarantee and Rebuild Program
MAC Valves offers an 18-month guarantee on valves and a lifetime guarantee on electrical coils. A flat rate rebuild program is available for valves beyond the guarantee period, extending their service life.

Introduction II. MAC’s 4-WAY PILOT SYSTEM – Maximized Shifting Forces The balanced 4-way pilot valve provides maximum shifting forces in both directions by supplying air alternately to each end section of the spool, similar to double acting rodless cylinder. This system provides maximized shifting forces, equal forces at energization and de- energization, with no resistance to shifting at either end. The result is increased shifting reliability and faster, more consistent response times. Small direct 4-way solenoid operated valve P SHIFTING FORCES unaffected by changing air pressure (IN/EXH)...
