The PVA series is PNEUMAX's pneumatically-actuated bronze poppet valve range for compressed air on/off and directional control. The defining practical feature is the actuator's 360° rotatability — once the valve body is plumbed in, the pneumatic cylinder can be oriented in any direction to clear obstacles, align fittings, or route tubing without breaking the pipe connections. This saves real time during panel building and machine assembly, especially in dense manifold layouts.

How do I integrate position sensing?

The actuator barrel is profiled to accept magnetic sensors directly — PNEUMAX codes 1500._, RS._, and HS._ fit the type A slot. These provide open/closed position feedback to a PLC, enabling the valve to participate in automated sequences and safety interlocks without external limit switches or brackets. Combined with single-acting (spring-return) or double-acting actuation, the PVA covers both fail-safe and bidirectional control requirements.
