Pilot valves
Pilot valves for process technology
Kuhnke offers the standard valve 63.1V, which was specially developed as a pilot valve for the requirements of process technology. Pneumatically actuated process valves are often equipped with control heads, so-called control units, which communicate with fieldbus systems over long distances in the plant. Pilot valves are installed in them, which actuate the process valve via a pneumatic actuator. Low energy consumption is desirable for the extensive distribution in the system. With a power consumption of less than 1 W, the 63.1V can cover a wide pressure range from 2 to 8 bar. It can therefore reliably operate the actuator even at low system pressure. 270 l/min. flow rate ensures delay-free activation of the actuator.
The service life of at least 50 million switching cycles has already been tried and tested in many applications, meaning that the valve meets the requirements for low-maintenance and fault-free technology as a reliable centerpiece in the control head of process valves. Thanks to its compact size with a 15 mm wide flange housing, any connection block of a control head can be easily adapted to the valve, even in tight installation spaces. A tool-free manual switchover simplifies the operation of the valve during system maintenance. 3/2-way NC or NO versions with 12 or 24 V DC nominal voltage are available. am
