Norgren is launching an innovative solenoid valve that offers enhanced reliability at a lower cost for commercial vehicle applications.
The ISIS solenoid valve has been developed by an international team spanning the UK, Germany, China and the US, and is designed to control a range of standard functions including the differential lock, engine brake and horn. With only nine components compared to the standard 20, ISIS reduces potential leak paths and is manufactured with a no-fault forward system, yet is able to withstand high levels of vibration and extreme environmental conditions.
It is 10% lighter and 30% smaller than typical chassis array valve systems. The ISIS delivers engineering advantage by reducing the tubing, connectors and cab pass-through required, resulting in both cost and space savings.
“Designed for ease of assembly, ISIS is a chassis-mounted, high-performance solenoid valve featuring our ‘twist and lock’ stacking mechanism for easy expansion into a valve array, which represents excellent value. “The valve features fewer components than standard models, all housed in one sealed, corrosion-resistant unit. [It is] used by customers to control key functions such as the lift axle and engine braking”, explained David Owen of Norgren.
The ISIS is suitable for both retro- and OE-fitting, and is available as either a 12V or a 24V model.
