Capable of controlling in excess of 1 bar pressure while using 1/1000th of the power of an energy saving lightbulb, the Type 220 Modular I/P Pilot is an extremely low-power pilot technology which is newly launched by IMI Precision Engineering.
Using only 6mW of power, the Type 220 pilot is also nearly three times more stable across a temperature range of -40ºC to +85ºC than current pilot designs available – meaning it can be used in a variety of environments without compromising on reliable performance.
The Type 220 Modular I/P Pilot is designed in accordance with global and regional certification standards, offering the opportunity for the device to pilot not only compressed air but also flammable gases. An additional benefit of the Type 220’s low power consumption is the ability for designers to make use of unused power elsewhere in the system, such as display functions on SMART positioners or communication protocols embedded in valve systems.
The Type 220 can fit into almost any size of enclosure or space, interfaces, base and manifold designs, as well as electrical connections, can be customised to individual system requirements.
The new pilot is designed to work across a specification of a 0.4 to 10 bar supply pressure, with input signals of 0-1.4mA and an output pressure range in excess of 0-1 bar.
IMI Precision Engineering is the new name for Norgren, which rebranded in early 2015.
