Electrically actuated NAMUR valves - Series 86-MN

The 86-MN series comprises electrically actuated NAMUR valves that are suitable for both 5/2-way and 5/3-way applications. These valves offer connection sizes of G1/4, NAMUR, G1/8 and G1/2 for base plate mounting and are characterized by a high degree of protection of IP 65. They are designed for operation in a temperature range from +5°C to +50°C and are operated with voltages of DC 24 V or AC 230 V.

Typical applications for these NAMUR valves include

  1. Pneumatic controls: In automation technology for controlling actuators such as cylinders, flaps or valves. They are often used to control the position of machine components in production lines.

  2. Process automation: Especially in the chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries, where precise control of processes and machines is required. NAMUR valves help to increase efficiency and safety in process control, especially in the handling of gases, vapors and liquids.

  3. Robotics: In automated manufacturing cells and robotic systems to control pneumatic gripper arms or moving parts. Their compactness and reliability make them particularly suitable for these applications.

  4. Power generation: In thermal power plants or gas and steam power plants, where valves are needed to control steam pressure and other fluids in highly sensitive areas.

  5. Automotive industry: In the control of assembly parts in automated assembly processes that are operated with pneumatic actuators.

  6. Switching and control technology: For regulating the air flow in switchable pneumatic systems used in automation units.

  7. Aerospace technology: In systems that work with vacuum or compressed air-operated controls to ensure the complexity and safety of aviation systems.

This versatility and adaptability make the 86-MN series an excellent choice for demanding applications in various industries.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions about solenoid valves, applications and customised solutions from AIRTEC.

When is an electrically actuated valve the right choice over a pneumatically actuated one?

Electrically actuated valves are ideal for use in electrical control architectures. Solenoid valves integrate directly into PLC systems. They require no separate pneumatic control signal and allow centralized control via fieldbus or a multi-pin connector. If, on the other hand, no power supply is available, or operation is required in hazardous (Ex) areas without electrical certification, pneumatic actuation is the simpler choice.

How do ATEX versions of electrical valves differ from those of pneumatic valves?

With pneumatic valves, the ATEX version often differs little in design from the standard valve. With electrical valves, the ATEX version must always feature a specially certified solenoid, for example an encapsulated coil in which all live parts are fully enclosed. ATEX solenoid valves must therefore be ordered explicitly as such.

Are UL/CSA-approved versions available?

Yes. For export to North America, AIRTEC solenoid valves can be equipped with UL/CSA-approved solenoid coils.

What compressed air quality is required for the electrically actuated valves?

All AIRTEC solenoid valves are rated for compressed air according to ISO 8573-1:2010, Class 7:2:4 (filtered, oil-free, and dried). The pressure dew point must be at least 10 °C below the lowest ambient temperature encountered. The requirements are identical to those of the pneumatically actuated series.
