Features:
Introducing the Genuine IMI Norgren industrial solenoid valves, a trusted name known for superior brand quality and reliability. These valves come in a variety of directional control configurations including 3/2, 5/2, and 5/3 to meet diverse operational requirements.
The product lineup offers four different valve widths —18mm (Type A), 22mm (Type B), 27mm (Type C), and 34mm (Type D)—allowing for precise selection based on installation needs. Additionally, the valves feature an extensive range of port options such as M5, G1/8, G1/4, G3/8, and G1/2, including specialized NAMUR ports G1/4 and G3/8 for enhanced compatibility.
Engineered for performance, these valves provide a high flow capacity ranging from 245 to 3350 liters per minute at 6 bar inlet pressure with a 1 bar pressure drop. Each unit is equipped with a standard LED indicator light for clear and immediate power status feedback, facilitating easier monitoring during operation.
For convenience in commissioning and maintenance, a push and turn to lock manual override is incorporated. The valves support 100% continuous duty rating , making them suitable for prolonged industrial operations. To withstand challenging environments, they conform to the IP65 protection class , ensuring resistance to dust and water ingress.
Constructed with a durable yet lightweight aluminum housing , these valves employ NBR seals optimized specifically for compressed air applications. Installation is simplified through a sub-base mounting system , which streamlines piping and enables straightforward manifold assembly.
The design incorporates an internal pilot air supply , eliminating the need for any external pilot sources. Furthermore, the valves feature a voltage tolerance of ±10% , accommodating typical variations in industrial power supplies without compromising performance.
Customers can choose between single solenoid (spring return) or double solenoid configurations. For the 5/3 directional control valves, three center functions are available: All Ports Blocked (APB) , Center Open Exhaust (COE) , and Center Open Pressure (COP) , providing flexibility for various operational scenarios.
