Pneumatic Mechanical Valve Airtac S3Y-06: Manual Valve, 3 Way - S3Y06

Manual air valve, 3 way, Lever type, 1/8" PT port size The Airtac S3 valve series is a functional replacement for the SMC VM200 series.

1. The external force required by changing the direction of the series of S3B, S3R, S3L and S3V is provided by an external mechanism, which can be used for position test or limit switch.

1. The series of S3PF, S3PM, S3PP, S3PL, S3Y, S3HS, S3C and S3D are operated manually, owning control joints with several structure forms and suitable for application under different conditions.

1. Shut-off structure has good tightness and is sensitive in direction changing and lubricant is not necessary.

1. Multi-mounting makes it convenient to install and apply.

1. The control joints of series S3C, S3D, S3Y, S3R and S3L are made of metal which has long service life and more reliable and steady performance.

The Airtac S3 Series Mechanical Valve
The Airtac S3 Series Mechanical Valve is a highly reliable pneumatic directional control valve operated by mechanical actuation methods such as roller-lever, push-button, or plunger designs. Engineered for industrial automation and pneumatic systems, the S3 series delivers precise air flow switching, fast response, and long-lasting performance in demanding operating environments.

Key Features
• Mechanical Operation – Activated via roller lever, push button, or plunger, enabling direct mechanical control without electrical signals.
• Robust Construction – Built with high-strength aluminum alloy housing and hardened internal components for durability.
• Compact & Versatile Design – Ideal for installation in confined spaces and adaptable to various pneumatic setups.
• Stable & Responsive – Ensures quick directional change with minimal air leakage.
