5/3-way solenoid valve, closed centre position, G 1/4", 590 l/min, 230 V AC, aluminium

A double-acting cylinder can only be stopped between its end positions if both working lines are blocked. This is exactly what the closed centre position of this 5/3-way solenoid valve provides, with three G 1/4" ports releasing a flow rate of 590 l/min. The aluminium body with NBR seals works in a pressure range of 2 to 10 bar and at temperatures from -10 to +60 °C. At 5 bar the valve changes over in less than 35 ms. Exhaust air leaves through two separate G 1/8" ports that can take silencers or flow control valves.

Advantages

• Closed centre position blocks both working ports and holds the load in place
• Flow rate of 590 l/min through three G 1/4" threads at 2 to 10 bar
• Switching time below 35 ms at 5 bar for short machine cycles
• Protection class IP 65 allows installation outside the control cabinet
• Body and spool in aluminium, pilot valve in glass fibre reinforced polyamide
• Power consumption of only 4.1 VA at 230 V AC with ± 10 % voltage tolerance

Applications

• Lifting and positioning tasks in which the cylinder has to stop at intermediate points
• Clamping devices on machine tools running on a 2 to 10 bar air supply
• Plants with a 230 V AC control voltage and no separate DC power supply
• Damp or dusty surroundings, covered by the IP 65 rating of the solenoid coil

Standards and conformity

The solenoid coil is rated IP 65 and built in design M with connector size 1. Valve, coil and connector are part of the delivery.
