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

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 24 V DC. The switching function is centre position closed. The actuator can therefore be switched straight from the machine control without an extra pilot stage.

Advantages

• 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 closed, so the rest position is clearly defined.
• Nominal size of 6 mm, which defines the usable cross section of the switching position.

Applications

• Installation in control cabinets with a supply of 24 V DC.
• Control of pneumatic flaps, gates and diverters in conveying equipment.
• Cycled feeding and clamping units in fixture building.
• Plants operated within the temperature range -10 to +70 °C.

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.
