ASCO™ Spool Valves
single/dual solenoid (mono/bistable function) - pilot operated or air operated
aluminium body - “NAMUR” style - 1/4 and 1/2 tapped
Features
• The monostable spool valves in conformity with IEC 61508 Standard (2010 route 2H version )
have TÜV (551 series) and EXIDA (551-553 series) certied with integrity levels: SIL 2 for
HFT = 0 / SIL 3 for HFT = 1
• The spool valves have threaded port connections and "NAMUR" style interface
• The same spool valve can be adapted for 3/2 NC or 5/2 functions for controlling double-
acting and single-acting actuators
•
All the exhaust ports of the spool valve are connectable, providing better environmental
protection. Particularly recommended for sensitive areas, such as clean rooms, and
applications in the pharmaceutical and food processing sectors
•
The valves offer environmental protection against the ingress of liquids, dusts or other
foreign matter (environmentally-protected construction)
•
Epoxy moulded coil for general service applications
•
The solenoid valves satisfy all relevant EU Directives
