The new standard VSNC NAMUR valve from Festo is certified worldwide in accordance with the usual explosion-protection standards and can be used in many industry segments and applications. The new pilot valve efficiently and reliably controls the flow of a wide range of media in very different ambient conditions, whether of liquids, bulk goods or gases in either the fine chemicals, pharmaceutical, water technology or food production industry.
It can be easily adapted for use with either a single-acting or a double-acting actuator for even greater flexibility. Simply turning the seal round 180° converts a 5/2-way valve into a 3/2-way valve. In the case of the 3/2-way function, exhaust air is fed via the seal into the spring chamber of the actuator.
The Festo range of ATEX accessories and IEC Ex-certified solenoid systems for zones 1 and 2 and systems certified in accordance with NEC 500 for Class 1 Div. 1 and Div. 2 are specially made for environments with potentially explosive atmospheres.
