ASCO 8344-B64 Solenoid Valve

ASCO 8344-B64 is a four‑way, two‑position solenoid valve from ASCO’s 8344/Series 344 family, a piston/poppet style valve built for general service in pneumatic circuits. It directs compressed air between a pressure port and two work ports labeled A and B, enabling a connected double‑acting cylinder to extend and retract on command. Known for high flow and reliable operation, the 8344 family uses a piston‑operated poppet design to minimize leakage and provide repeatable shifts under typical factory air pressure ranges; the B64 suffix identifies a specific coil/connection configuration within the line, so coil voltage and terminal type should be confirmed on the exact unit. Typical applications span automation and manufacturing environments, including control of single and double‑acting cylinders, air logic functions, and other pneumatic switching tasks in equipment such as conveyors, pick‑and‑place systems, and packaging lines.
