Re: States for SMC 3 position valve

Just having two soleniods on the valve does not make it 3 position. If it is, then both soleniods off sets center position. You never want to energise both solenoids at the same time. Do you have the full part number handy?

Two position dual solenoid valves stay in the last state energised. IE extended or retracted which is what you are describing?
