Directional control valves (DCV) are the switching elements of industrial pneumatics — they route compressed air between cylinder ports, controlling extension, retraction, position and exhaust. NorTrade distributes the full Norgren IMI DCV range: inline and manifold solenoid/pilot valves (V50–V63, Excel 22/32, S/666–S/667, 25003, 26220–26360, 70300, 80207, 80265, 97-NAMUR family, Super X), sub-base valves — the Norgren M/1700 series plus ISO 5599-1 / ISO 15407-1 valves (ISO*STAR (SXE/SXP), UM/22000, V40/V41, V44/V45), and manual/mechanical valves (M/21, M/1553, M/1702/M/1704, S/1340, S/666–S/667, Super X 030/X30/X33, VHLA rotary).

First number = number of ports, second number = number of switching positions. 3/2 has 3 ports and 2 positions — typical for single-acting cylinders (extend / spring return). 5/2 has 5 ports and 2 positions — the standard configuration for double-acting cylinders. 5/3 has 5 ports and 3 positions, with a centre position (closed, open, or pressurised) — used when the cylinder must be held mid-stroke.
Inline valves (V50–V63, Super X) screw straight into the tubing — simple, lowest assembly cost, single-station use. Manifold mounts multiple valves on a common base with shared air supply, but each station is dedicated — used in compact OEM machines. Sub-base (M/1700, ISO STAR, UM/22000, V40–V45) decouples the valve from the pipework — swap a faulty valve without breaking tubing, the standard for plant-scale installations.
NAMUR is a standard mounting interface for valves on process actuators (typically pneumatic quarter-turn actuators on ball or butterfly valves). If your process actuator has a NAMUR interface, a NAMUR-mounted directional valve (26360, 80207, 97100, 97105, 97300, 25003 EPN) installs directly without an adapter or piping run — much cleaner than an inline valve plus tubing.
Direct solenoid (Excel 22, Excel 32) — the solenoid moves the spool/poppet directly. Simple, reliable, but limited in flow because the solenoid must supply all the actuating force. Indirect solenoid (pilot-operated) (V50–V63, 26220, 80265, 97-family) — a small solenoid (pilot) routes compressed air to drive a larger main spool or poppet. Higher flow per coil power, but requires a minimum pilot pressure to operate.
Standard options across the range: 24 V DC (most common in modern machines), 115 V AC, 230 V AC, 12 V DC. Many Norgren coils are interchangeable on a given valve body, but this is not universal — some series accept only specific voltages (e.g. certain pilot valves are DC-only). Always confirm the available coil voltages in the option selector for your chosen valve, then specify the voltage at order time.
V50–V53 is the mid-flow inline family — most common pick for general industrial pneumatics, lower cost. V60–V63 scales up with higher flow rates at the same port size — choose it when the cylinder is large or fast or when the V50 at the same port size cannot deliver enough flow. Both families share the same low-power solenoid technology.
