ASCO 8340A3MO Solenoid

ASCO 8340A3MO Red Hat solenoid valve is a four‑way, two‑position air‑only valve in ASCO’s Series 8340, designed for direct actuation of pneumatic cylinders in automation lines. The MO suffix denotes a built‑in manual operator for manual actuation when power is unavailable, and the coil is rated for 120 VAC at 60 Hz or 110 VAC at 50 Hz. This 4/2 valve provides universal air‑flow paths suitable for group‑mounted installations in compressed‑air systems, enabling control of double‑acting cylinders in manufacturing, packaging, and material‑handling equipment. It serves applications requiring reliable pneumatic control in automated equipment, where 4/2 air‑only operation supports fast, precise cylinder actuation and venting. Common equipment categories include pick‑and‑place lines, conveyors, and assemblers where a compact, electrically controlled valve is needed to switch air paths quickly and predictably.
