Features:
Introducing the authentic IMI Norgren industrial solenoid valves, renowned for their trusted brand quality and dependable performance. These valves come in multiple directional control configurations, including 3/2, 5/2, and 5/3 types, catering to various application needs.
Customers can choose from four different valve widths to best suit their system requirements: 18mm (Type A), 22mm (Type B), 27mm (Type C), and 34mm (Type D). Additionally, a wide range of port options is available to enhance compatibility, featuring sizes such as M5, G1/8, G1/4, G3/8, G1/2, along with NAMUR standards G1/4 and G3/8.
These solenoid valves offer a high flow capacity ranging from 245 to 3350 liters per minute at 6 bar inlet pressure with a 1 bar pressure drop, ensuring efficient fluid control. An LED indicator light is included as a standard feature, providing clear and immediate feedback on the valve’s power status.
For added convenience during commissioning and maintenance, the valves incorporate a push and turn manual override lock. Designed for continuous industrial operation, they boast a 100% duty rating and an IP65 protection class, making them well-suited for harsh environmental conditions.
Constructed with a lightweight yet durable aluminum housing and equipped with NBR seals optimized for compressed air applications, these valves ensure longevity and reliable sealing performance. The sub-base mounting system simplifies piping configurations and supports easy manifold assembly.
These units require an internal pilot air supply, eliminating the need for any external pilot systems. Their voltage tolerance of ±10% ensures stable operation despite fluctuations in industrial power supply.
Available in both single solenoid (spring return) and double solenoid versions, the valves provide flexibility to suit different control needs. For the 5/3 configuration, three center functions are offered: All Ports Blocked (APB), Center Open Exhaust (COE), and Center Open Pressure (COP).
