Festo has launched a new generation of NAMUR valves. The valve range offers a choice of coils suitable for many applications across a wide range of industries including chemical, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, water & wastewater and food processing. Coils are available with intrinsic safety as well as with other protection methods such as non-sparking and encapsulated protection all to IEC EX (ATEX).
One valve within the new range offers both 3/2- or 5/2- way functions. This is achieved by rotating one single seal. This means there are no additional seals shipped with the product that have to be kept safe until required. With the VSNC, the function can be changed quickly and easily with no additional parts. Festo will supply two separate labels so that the valves can be correctly labelled in the field dependant on the functionality used.
The VSNC is robust, with flow rates of 1000 l/min and offers an extended temperature range of -20°C – +60°C. Coils are available in seven different voltages including AC and DC variants and with IP65 protection. The valves are available in two versions: a standard unit with plastic covers and a brass solenoid armature tube or a second valve with stainless steel solenoid armature tube and an aluminium body. Both types are ex stock.
