Assured Automation’s VA Series (valve+actuator) is an integrated on/off valve and pneumatic actuator which allows more compact piping installations. Due to its reduction in size, the VA Series replaces angle valves and ball valves in many installations. It also replaces large solenoid valves where small orifices clog and diaphragms rupture. The VA series was developed for clean media applications such as compressed air, water, oil and other clean media compatible with brass and standard seal components such as VITON, BUNA N and EPDM. The compressed air port of the VA Series is designed to accommodate NAMUR style solenoid valves. The NAMUR standard provides standard mounting interface dimensions for pneumatic actuators. It also can be fitted with position indication switches by adding a magnet on the piston and an exterior reed or solid state switch to read the piston position.
