5/3-way solenoid valve, 3 to 8 bar, ATEX Ex ia, centre position exhausted, ATEX approval, G 1/8"

This 5/3-way solenoid valve controls the air path in a compressed air system. The switching function is centre position exhausted. The connection is G 1/8". The operating pressure is stated as 3 to 8 bar. The materials are body anodised aluminium and plastic, internal parts stainless steel and brass, seal NBR.

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 exhausted, 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 ia IIC T6 Ga IP65 & II 2D Ex t IIIC T80°C Db IP65 to directive 2014/34/EU.
