Device description

Solenoid Valve

Solenoid-operated valve for discrete control of air, water, oil, vacuum, or another process medium.

A solenoid valve uses a coil and movable armature to open, close, or switch the flow of the working medium.

Its configuration is defined by the number of ways and positions, port size, and permissible pressure range.

The coil duty must match the energisation duration and switching frequency of the application.

Selection considers medium, pressure, number of ways and positions, connection size, coil voltage, coil duty, and required flow capacity.
