Features:
These industrial solenoid valves are genuine products from the trusted brand IMI Norgren, known for their high-quality and reliable performance. They come in various directional control configurations, including 3/2, 5/2, and 5/3 types, catering to diverse application needs.
The valves are available in four distinct widths: 18mm (Type A), 22mm (Type B), 27mm (Type C), and 34mm (Type D). This range allows for flexibility in choosing the appropriate size based on specific system requirements. Alongside size options, there are comprehensive port choices such as M5, G1/8, G1/4, G3/8, and G1/2, plus specialized NAMUR ports in G1/4 and G3/8.
Designed for high flow capacity, these valves can handle between 245 to 3350 liters per minute at an inlet pressure of 6 bar with a 1 bar pressure drop. For ease of operation, each valve includes a standard LED indicator light that clearly shows power status, while the manual override features a push and turn lock mechanism to facilitate commissioning and maintenance tasks.
Built for continuous industrial use, the valves have a 100% duty rating, ensuring long-term reliable operation. They also feature an IP65 protection class, making them suitable for harsh and demanding environments. The sturdy aluminum housing provides a lightweight yet robust structure, and NBR seals ensure effective service with compressed air.
Installation is simplified with a sub-base mounting system that not only streamlines piping but also enables manifold assembly. The design includes an internal pilot air supply, eliminating the need for any external pilot air source. Furthermore, the valves tolerate a voltage variation of ±10%, accommodating typical industrial power fluctuations.
Customers can choose between single solenoid valves with spring return or double solenoid options. Additionally, for the 5/3 directional control valves, three center position functions are offered: All Ports Blocked (APB), Center Open Exhaust (COE), and Center Open Pressure (COP), providing versatile control options tailored to specific application demands.
