A new highly distinctive design concept now allows Bifold’s solenoid valve housing to freely rotate 360°, enabling easy cable layout and ease of connection wiring. The solenoid internals rotate with the housing to prevent cables being pulled out of the terminal block, to accommodate equipment building benefits. Within these benefits, this new valve technology can be mounted in any orientation to simplify and ease installation along with a spacious enclosure for ease of wiring. This range of products includes solenoid valves for dry or moist air, gas and fluid control medias and with 316L stainless steel bodies. The solenoid design incorporates an armature plate coil holder mechanism which ensures the valve will operate in damp conditions and reducing the risk of corrosion to internal components. As part of the commissioning and maintenance benefits with the FP Series solenoids, there is no time penalty for heat dissipation before removing the solenoid cover, or the requirement for special high temperature cables. Simple maintenance incorporates removable transient suppression diode, coil and solenoid without the need to remove the solenoid valve from the tubing. With an operating temperature range of -60°C to + 95°C and worldwide approvals Ex d, Ex ia & Ex emb, this product range is available with a wide range of override options including auto reset, spring return manual override, stayput manual override, manual reset, tamperproof manual latch and latch energized.
