5/3-way solenoid valve, centre position pressurised, ATEX approval, G 1/8", 230 V AC, 680 l/min

A double-acting actuator needs a valve that switches the air path reliably and delivers the required flow. This 5/3-way solenoid valve with connection G 1/8" passes 680 l/min and is controlled with 230 V AC. The switching function is centre position pressurised. The actuator can therefore be switched straight from the machine control without an extra pilot stage.

Advantages

• Control voltage tolerance plus/minus 10 percent, which makes short supply dips uncritical.
• Media oiled and non-oiled, filtered compressed air, so no separate treatment is needed.
• Pressure inlet Port 1, which simplifies the piping.
• Flow rate of 680 l/min, so the connected actuator moves without the valve throttling it.
• Switching function centre position pressurised, so the rest position is clearly defined.

Applications

• Cycled feeding and clamping units in fixture building.
• Plants operated within the temperature range -10 to +70 °C.
• Replacement of a defective valve of the same type in existing machines.
• Control of double-acting cylinders with an air demand up to 680 l/min.

Standards and conformity

The valve carries the ATEX marking II 2G Ex mb IIC T5 IP65 & II 2D Ex mb tb IIIC T95°C IP65 to directive 2014/34/EU.
