VXZ2*5, Pilot Operated, 2 Port Solenoid Valve for Heated Water, Single Unit
The VXZ series for heated water is a 2 port, pilot operated solenoid valve capable of operating at higher differential pressures by maintaining a zero differential pressure on the seat. The molded coil offers low power consumption, long life and high reliability. EDPM seal and Class H coil insulation type are standard. Available for port size 1/4 to 1 inch. Flow rate ranges from Cv of 1.9 to 10.2
- Body material: brass, and stainless steel
- Medium: heated water. Fluid temperature: 1 to 99°C
- Maximum pressure: 218 psi
- IP65 enclosure
- Valve type: Normally Closed, Normally Open
VXS2, Pilot Operated 2 Port Solenoid Valve for Steam
VXS 2 port solenoid valve for steam is compact and lightweight, designed to operate with no need for differential pressure. The VXS is considerably quieter than similar valves due to its special construction and full wave rectifier type solenoid. A piston main valve and special FKM material for both the valve and seal help reduce internal leakage to 1.0 cm³/min or less, and improve life cycle and valve reliability. The VXS valve series is RoHS compliant and meets IP65 enclosure guidelines.
- For use with steam
- Long service life: 3 million cycles
- Double guide rings to improve air filtration
- Reduced power consumption compared to previous version
- Port size 1/4 to 1 inch
- IP65 Enclosure
VXD2*5, Pilot Operated, 2 Port Solenoid Valve for Heated Water
SMC's updated VXD series for heated water (up to 99°C) is a pilot operated, 2 port solenoid valve. Standard EPDM seal material and Class H coil insulation to suit the high fluid temperature application. Available in brass and stainless steel. Flow rate ranges from Cv of 1.9 to 49
- IP65 enclosure
- Thread or flange piping
- Standard EPDM seal
- Class H coil insulation
- Port size: 1/4 to 1 inch, Flange: 32A to 50A
VX3* Single Unit, Direct Operated 3 Port Solenoid Valve
The VX3 series is a direct operated, 3 port solenoid valve, for use with a wide variety of fluids. It has an enclosure equivalent to IP65 and with its special construction, metal noise is reduced (DC specification). Flow rate ranges from Cv of 0.08 to 0.38.
