4-011-04-1486 WAY VALVE 5/3 ELEK CD12 G1/2 3-10BAR Woodworking Machine Spares

When a Homag machine's pneumatic circuit stops shifting between states, the 5/3 valve is often the first suspect. A sticking spool or a failed solenoid leaves actuators in one position and halts the sequence. This valve restores the three-position control the circuit was built around.

It is a 5/3 way valve with electrical control, model CD12, and a G1/2 connection. The 3-10 BAR range covers typical shop air supply. Match the part number 4011041486 or 4-011-04-1486 to the valve on the machine, and confirm five ports and three positions before ordering.

Check the port threads are G1/2 and the supply stays within 3-10 BAR. The electrical control means the solenoid must receive the correct signal from the machine's control. Mounting follows the existing valve pattern, so the replacement drops into the same circuit without re-piping.

Supply is the valve only; no packaging or customisation details are stated. For an enquiry, send the machine model, the part number 4011041486 or 4-011-04-1486, a photo of the existing valve, and the port and pressure details you need confirmed. Supply comes from the same range as the rest of the catalogue. Send the machine model with the enquiry so the fit is checked before dispatch.

What the specification fixes, and what it leaves to the machine:

• Three-position control — The 5/3 designation gives five ports and three positions, letting the valve hold or shift actuator states as the machine sequence demands.
• Electrical actuation — Solenoid control switches the valve electrically, so it responds to the machine's control signal rather than manual operation.
• Port size — A G1/2 connection matches the port threads called for on this valve, keeping airflow in line with the circuit's design.
• Pressure window — Rated for 3-10 BAR, the valve suits shop air supplies that stay inside that band during normal woodworking machine operation.
• Model fit — The CD12 model identifies the valve body and control configuration, so buyers can match it to the existing unit on the machine.
• Part number match — 4011041486 and 4-011-04-1486 are the numbers to check against the old valve before ordering a replacement.
• Spool wear point — The internal spool shifts between three positions; wear here affects how cleanly the valve changes state under repeated cycles.
• Seal check — Before fitting, inspect the port seals and threads for damage, since a poor seal at G1/2 will leak and drop pressure.
• Mounting pattern — The valve mounts on the existing pattern in the pneumatic circuit, so no re-piping is needed when the part number matches.

What changes on the shop floor when the right part goes back in:

• Restores three-position control. A working 5/3 valve lets the machine shift between three states again, so actuators no longer stick and the sequence runs as intended.
• Matches the existing port size. The G1/2 connection means the replacement threads onto the same ports, cutting the risk of adapters and leaks at the valve.
• Keeps pressure in range. With a 3-10 BAR rating, the valve handles the shop air band the machine was set up for, so you avoid over- or under-pressure faults.
• Simple fitment check. Matching 4011041486 or 4-011-04-1486 against the old valve confirms the model before you order, reducing wrong-part downtime.
• Electrical control suits automation. Because the valve is electrically controlled, it works with the machine's control signal, so you are not adding manual steps to the cycle.
• Known wear points guide checks. Knowing the spool and port seals are the parts that wear helps fitters inspect the right areas before blaming the control system.
• One part number to quote. Quoting 4011041486 or 4-011-04-1486 with your machine model and a photo gets your enquiry to the right valve without guesswork.
• It fits the machine you already run. The CD12 is made for woodworking machines, so it returns to the same shaft, bracket or spindle without re-machining the mounting.

Check the existing valve for part number 4011041486 or 4-011-04-1486 and confirm it is a 5/3 valve with G1/2 ports. Compare the model CD12 and the 3-10 BAR range before ordering.

Five ports and three positions. That gives the valve multiple control states for the pneumatic circuit, which is why it is used where actuators need more than simple on/off shifting.

Yes, the valve is electrically controlled, marked ELEK. The solenoid responds to the machine's control signal, so check that signal is present before assuming the valve has failed.

The rated range is 3-10 BAR. Keep your shop air supply inside that band; pressure outside it can affect how the valve shifts and seals.

The connection is G1/2. Confirm the existing ports are G1/2 so the replacement threads on without adapters.

No customisation details are stated for this valve. Send your required part number and machine details with an enquiry so the exact valve can be confirmed.

Send the machine model, the part number 4011041486 or 4-011-04-1486, a photo of the existing valve, and the port and pressure details you need checked.

A missing solenoid signal or low air pressure can mimic a failed valve. Check the electrical signal and supply pressure within 3-10 BAR before replacing the valve.
