Pneumatics at the Double from Hoerbiger-Origa
Hoerbiger-Origa’s new compact directional pneumatic valve can operate as two independent valves in a single body, or in conjunction with a manifold.
Originally launched in a 1/8-inch size, the S10 valve is now offered as a quarter-inch unit with a range of options, variants and configurations. All come with the option threaded ports or push-in connections, while manual overrides are standard with electrically-actuated versions. There are 2 x 3/2, 5/2 and 5/3 versions and a choice of mono-stable or bi-stable formats, all with normal flow rates of 650 litres/min for 1/8-inch, 1100 litres/min for the quarter-inch, and nominal power of 1.1W. Options include an LED indicator and external pilot air.
Says product manager Jochen Krinn: “In recent times, the volume market trend for pneumatic control valves has swung away from universal standard designs, like ISO, as companies can gain a competitive advantage by using more compact, efficient and economic valve designs.”
