Solenoid Valve for Hydrogen Applications VSNC - FESTO

  • VSNC valves are pilot valves for single- and double-acting quarter turn and lin ear actuators with a port pattern in ac cordance with VDI/VDE 3845, such as DAPS, DFPB, DLP. They can also be mounted on actuators without a NAMUR interface, e.g. diaphragm actu ators, thanks to appropriate accesso ries such as a connection set.

  • They are designed for the requirements of process automation. A mechanical spring (single solenoid valves) ensures safe switching to the initial position in the event of a power failure. Working ports 2, 4 on valves VSNC-F ...-P2 are designed in accord ance with VDI/VDE 3845 NAMUR.

  • The standard NAMUR valve VSNC is certified worldwide in accordance with the usual explosion-protection standards and can be used in many industry segments and applications. Its distinguishing features are its modern design, durable quality and fully tested technology and materials. It also offers outstanding value for money. That is what NAMUR valves should be!

Innovation

  • Conversion from 3/2-way to 5/2-way valve simply by turning the seal
  • Enables single- or double-acting ac tuators to be controlled with one valve
  • The valve can be ordered either with non-detenting/detenting or non-de tenting manual override or without manual override.
  • It is converted using a special cap. The part number is therefore identical.
  • The manual override option can be changed at any time.

Key features

  • Cost-optimised variant with plastic cover, brass armature tube and IP65 coils
  • Application-optimised variant with aluminium cover, stainless steel ar mature tube for IP65 and Ex coils, and protective cap for armature tube exhaust
  • One armature tube system for all Ex solenoid systems
  • Vast range of VSNC solenoid valves with different material valve cap, material of armature, etc. please view the datasheet for the detailed information.
  • Solenoid valve VSNC: the new variants with additional international approvals open up opportunities for new applications
    • Single- or double-acting
    • Whether you are using a single-acting or double-acting actuator, the VSNC offers you the right solution with just one valve. Simply turn the seal at the NAMUR interface and a 3/2-way valve becomes a 5/2-way valve.
  • Explosive environment? Not a problem! 

    • The product range includes IEC EX-certified solenoid systems for zones 1 and 2, CL I variants and Div. I solenoid systems to NEC 500.

  • Simple, cost-effective warehousing 

    • You can determine the appropriate coil voltage yourself and mount the coil.

  • The standard NAMUR valve VSNC is certified in accordance with the most common explosion standards the world over. It is a sturdy unit that combines great value for money with a modern design.
