Valves with C-316 body
The C-316 series is available in 4-way, for double-acting devices, or 3-way, for spring-return devices. The 3-way function can be specified as normally closed or open. All solenoid actuators are of the solenoid/pilot type, which allows the use of the smallest available solenoids, resulting in low energy consumption. This design also provides a positive displacement force that ensures the valve rotates when energized and reduces the possibility of burning out the coil. Single-solenoid spring-return models use an air-assisted spring return that ensures a positive return. Double solenoid models feature a detent that keeps the valve in the last moved position, even in high vibration environments. A complete selection of electrical connections, power requirements and area classifications is available.
Namur C-316 Valves
The Versa C-316 series stainless steel control valve for NAMUR actuator mounting is a 5-port, high-flow, bubble-tight pilot valve.It is designed to be mounted directly on any NAMUR actuator, thus reducing actuator response time and space.Installation costs are also lower, as the need for pipes, fittings, brackets and labour for assembly is greatly reduced.All mounting screws and gaskets are included with the valve.The 5-port design allows the C-316 NAMUR to be ordered as 4-way, for double-acting actuators, or 3-way, for spring-return actuators.When using the 3-way function, the unused exhaust port becomes an actuator vent where a filter/silencer can be installed to prevent contaminants from entering the valve or actuator.The 5-port design allows the user to independently control the speed of the actuator in both the opening and closing directions. Speed or vent controls are optional.
