Parker Fluid Control Division, manufacturers of the Skinner and Gold Ring lines of solenoid valves and the Sinclair Collins line of process control valves, now offers a line of High-Flow Namur valves for direct mounting to pneumatic actuators. Process industry applications for the product line include the control of larger process control valves commonly used in the chemical, petrochemical, water and wastewater, food and beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. The High-Flow series introduces a compact and modern design suited for controlling actuators of all sizes. The new solenoid valve offers Namur-compatible models in: 3/2, 5/2 and 5/3 functions for the control of single- and double-acting pneumatic actuators; 1/4″ and 1/2″ NTP port sizes with standard manual override; nominal Cv flow of 1.2 and 3.0 respectively; and a patented sealing system with a “swimming” O-ring design, which allows valve sealing to increase proportionally to pressure.
