Features:
Experience the reliability of genuine IMI Norgren industrial solenoid valves, a brand synonymous with trusted quality in the industrial sector. These valves are engineered for optimal performance and durability.
The product line offers a range of directional control configurations, including 3/2, 5/2, and 5/3 options to suit various application needs. Customers can choose from four distinct valve widths : 18mm (Type A), 22mm (Type B), 27mm (Type C), and 34mm (Type D).
Designed with versatility in mind, these valves come with a comprehensive selection of port sizes : M5, G1/8, G1/4, G3/8, and G1/2. Additionally, NAMUR standards are met with G1/4 and G3/8 port options, enhancing compatibility.
They provide an impressive high flow capacity ranging from 245 to 3350 liters per minute at 6 bar inlet pressure, with a pressure drop of only 1 bar. This ensures efficient and effective pneumatic control.
Each valve features a built-in LED indicator light as a standard component, offering a clear and immediate display of power status. For ease of use during commissioning and ongoing maintenance, a push and turn locking manual override is incorporated.
With a 100% continuous duty rating , these valves are designed for long-term operation without compromise. They also boast an IP65 protection class , making them ideal for use in demanding and harsh industrial environments.
Constructed with a sturdy yet lightweight aluminum housing and fitted with NBR seals for compressed air service, these valves combine durability with reliability. The sub-base mounting system simplifies piping configuration and facilitates manifold assemblies.
The internal design requires only an internal pilot air supply , eliminating the need for any external pilot source. Furthermore, the valves accommodate voltage fluctuations of ±10% , ensuring stable performance under typical industrial power variations.
Available in configurations of either single solenoid (spring return) or double solenoid operation, these valves offer flexibility to meet different operational demands. For the 5/3 models, there are three center function options: All Ports Blocked (APB) , Center Open Exhaust (COE) , and Center Open Pressure (COP) .
