Features:
Experience the reliability and superior performance of genuine IMI Norgren industrial solenoid valves, a trusted name in quality. These valves come in versatile directional control options including 3/2, 5/2, and 5/3 configurations to meet diverse application needs.
Choose from four different valve widths designed for various installation requirements: 18mm (Type A), 22mm (Type B), 27mm (Type C), and 34mm (Type D). Additionally, a wide range of port sizes are available such as M5, G1/8, G1/4, G3/8, G1/2, along with NAMUR G1/4 and G3/8 options, ensuring compatibility with numerous systems.
These valves offer impressive flow capacities, ranging from 245 to 3350 liters per minute at 6 bar inlet pressure with a pressure drop of 1 bar. An integrated LED indicator provides clear and immediate feedback on power status, simplifying operation and troubleshooting.
For ease of use during commissioning and maintenance, the solenoid valves feature a push and turn manual override locking mechanism. Designed for continuous industrial use, they carry a 100% continuous duty rating and come with an IP65 protection class, making them well-suited to withstand demanding environmental conditions.
The valves are constructed with lightweight yet durable aluminum housings and utilize NBR seals optimized for compressed air services. Installation is made straightforward with a sub-base mounting system that facilitates piping and allows for efficient manifold assembly. Plus, an internal pilot air supply means there is no need for an external pilot source.
Voltage tolerance is maintained at ±10% to handle typical industrial power fluctuations. Customers can select from single solenoid (spring return) or double solenoid options according to their operational requirements. For 5/3 valves, three center functions are offered: All Ports Blocked (APB), Center Open Exhaust (COE), and Center Open Pressure (COP), providing flexible control options.
