The new cartridge valve (Type 6164) from Bürkert simplifies pneumatic piloting controls through optimal integration of a pilot valve in block solutions and plastic injection moulded components. Due to its uncompromising reliability, above-average service life and efficient performance, this valve is setting new standards.
The fluidics engineers from Ingelfingen have developed a 3/2-way valve with guaranteed reliability and a long life cycle, due to the use of high-quality materials. The compact size of the cartridge valves makes them ideal for the use within block solutions, in which case the valves do not have to be mounted completely on the blocks; instead, they can easily be integrated via plug-and-play. This saves costs on materials and reduces the overall weight and size of the system or device.
The long life cycle and reliability of the valve are confirmed by more than 100 million switching cycles. The switching times for opening and closing of the valve are around 10ms at a pressure of 1bar and a temperature of 20°C. The highly reliable valve is available in orifice size from 0.5mm to 1.2mm and with operating voltage of 12V and 24V DC. The standard version covers the pressure range from -0.8bar to 10bar with a power consumption of less than 0.7W. The valve body is made of PEEK and the seal of FKM.
