Valve Types and Configurations:

  • 3/2 Double Solenoid Valve with Spring Return (NC/NO):

    • Configuration: Three ports, two positions.
    • Function: Switches between normally closed (NC) and normally open (NO) states when energized.
    • Mechanism: Spring return ensures the valve returns to its default position when de-energized.

  • 5/2 Double Solenoid Valve with Spring Return (NC/NO):

    • Configuration: Five ports, two positions.
    • Function: Provides multiple flow paths for more complex circuits.
    • Mechanism: Spring return ensures the valve returns to its resting state when de-energized.

  • 3/2 & 5/2 Double Solenoid Namur Valve with Spring Return:

    • Standard: Namur compliant, ensuring compatibility with Namur-compliant components.
    • Configurations: Available in both 3/2 and 5/2 setups.
    • Mechanism: Spring return for reliable operation, returning to the initial position when inactive.

  • 5/3 Double Solenoid Valve with Spring Center:

    • Configuration: Five ports, three positions, with a spring center.
    • Sizes: Available in 1/4″ and 1/2″ BSP (British Standard Pipe) threading.
    • Function: Suitable for integrating into various systems with standard fittings and connectors.

Key Features:

  • Continuous Level Monitoring: Ensures uninterrupted operation without the need for power or electrical connections, enhancing reliability in industrial settings.
  • Suitability for Various Fluids: Compatible with a wide range of fluids, including corrosive, high-temperature, and high-pressure substances.
  • Maintenance and Installation: Easy to install and requires minimal maintenance due to the absence of moving parts within the process fluid.
  • Optional Accessories: May include additional features such as alarms, transmitters, or switches for integration with control systems or to provide alerts when specific conditions are met.

Applications:

Double solenoid valves are essential for a variety of industrial applications, including manufacturing, automation, and process control. Their robust design, reliable operation, and compatibility with standard connections make them indispensable in fluid power systems.

In summary, double solenoid valves offer a reliable and efficient means of controlling fluid and gas flow in industrial applications, ensuring operational efficiency and safety. Their compact design, ease of operation, and versatility make them a valuable component in many fluid power systems.
