BM Engineering Supplies is now offering Bürkert’s new Type 6164 cartridge valve. This is a pneumatic pilot valve where the solenoid and precision moulded plastic valve body slot directly into any custom manifold. The Type 6164 provides the best opportunity yet for OEM process and machine designers to move away from external packaged pneumatic control valves.
Due to the increasing importance of space considerations, weight and energy saving requirements, customised pneumatic control solutions are becoming more commonplace. The diminutive size of the new cartridge valves makes them ideal for use in multiples within compact manifold block solutions, where they can easily be positioned and integrated wherever it is most convenient.
Due to a wide range of conformance certifications, they can be used for general pneumatic piloting on machine, plus pharmaceutical production applications and for medical devices.
The standard cartridge valve also scores points due to its high flow rate, pressure range and energy efficiency. The standard version covers the pressure range from -0.8 to 9 bar with a power consumption of less than 0.7 W.
