Emerson ASCO General Service Valves: Reliable Solutions from Lakeland Engineering
- By Emily Hagel
When it comes to fluid control, reliability, efficiency, and long service life are non-negotiable. That’s why Lakeland Engineering partners with Emerson to provide ASCO General Service Valves. These valves are designed for a wide range of applications—whether you need simple on/off control or complex multi-way configurations.
As a trusted ASCO distributor, Lakeland Engineering not only supplies the valves but also brings engineering expertise, product support, and fast delivery to keep your operation moving.
2-Way / 2-Position Valves
The most common design, 2-way / 2-position valves, simply open or close to allow or block flow. ASCO’s designs stand out for their durability and precision, making them ideal for industries that rely on uninterrupted flow control. Lakeland Engineering helps customers size, select, and source these valves for their exact process requirements.
3-Way / 3-Position Valves
For applications that require more flexibility, ASCO’s 3-way / 3-position valves allow you to alternate between flow paths, vent, or mix media. These are especially useful in packaging, material handling, and automation systems where operational versatility can save both time and energy. The ASCO Series 320/8320 are examples of robust 3-way general service valves.
4-Way Valves (2-Position and 3-Position)
ASCO’s 4-way valves are essential in pneumatic actuator applications. They provide reliable direction control for cylinders and other motion systems. With both 2-position and 3-position options, they help achieve precise equipment movement. At Lakeland, we work with customers to select the right configuration to optimize performance.
Why the Electronically-Enhanced Lineup Matters
Emerson’s Next-Generation “electronically enhanced” solenoids integrate onboard power management and surge suppression to deliver concrete advantages over older coils. This means significantly lower power consumption, improved DC and AC pressure ratings, reduced coil heating (longer service life), elimination of AC hum, voltage-ranging flexibility, and built-in electrical protections and approvals. That means smaller power supplies, less heat in tight cabinets, better performance on DC systems, and fewer nuisance failures from electrical transients. All valuable in harsh industrial environments.
Lakeland Engineering: Your Authorized ASCO Valves Distributor
Emerson’s ASCO General Service valves give you the functional coverage (2-way, 3-way, 4-way) needed across most machine and process applications. If you want improved electrical performance, lower power draw, and longer coil life — especially for DC or mixed-voltage systems — the Electronically-Enhanced Next-Generation line is worth specifying. For tight power budgets, harsh electrical environments, or modern machine designs, they often reduce downstream headaches and operating cost.
Lakeland Engineering Equipment Company is a proud ASCO Valves distributor, providing customers with access to Emerson’s industry-leading general service valve lineup along with local inventory, technical support, and engineering expertise. Whether you need a single replacement valve or a full system build, Lakeland can help specify and deliver the right ASCO solution for your application.
