VXE, Energy Saving Type, 2 Port Solenoid Valve (Single Unit) - SMC VXE2340H-03F-5DO1

Industrial applications requiring precise fluid control now have an energy saving option with the launch of a new generation of zero differential pressure; pilot and direct operated 2 port solenoid valves - Series VXE from world leaders SMC.Developed as part of SMC´s Energy Saving Programme, these new solenoid valves are based on SMC´s popular Series VX valves, but with the addition of some unique power saving features. Using the Pulse Width Modulation method (PWM), an in-built power saving circuit ensures exactly the same valve performance from the new VXE whilst achieving 30% less power consumption - when holding- compared to the standard VX range. Further benefits of this reduced power consumption are a dramatic reduction in coil heat - of up to 50% - and reduced CO2 emissions.Suitable for use with water, air and oil, Series VXE, which is both RoHS directive compliant and IP65 enclose approved, is currently available in both single unit and manifold options, in a comprehensive range of sizes, and in both 12 and 24 volt direct current models.Additional benefits of the new Series VXE development have ensured that these energy efficient valves are fully inter-changeable with the Series VX ranges, plus current VX users can also replace their valve's coil with this new power saving version.
