Extremely compact bodies translate to a smaller panel footprint, enabling higher valve density in tight automation spaces and simplifying enclosure layouts. This directly reduces assembly time and increases line throughput in packaging and electronics manufacturing. Very light operating forces lower actuation energy requirements and minimize wear on manual controllers, extending service life in high-cycle applications like test rigs and pick-and-place stations. Fully non-corrosive construction, with a plastic body and nitrile seals, improves longevity in humid environments and reduces maintenance intervals across food-packaging lines and general automation. The M5 port size and 3/2 valve operation support fast, tool-free installation with Pneufit C fittings, easing retrofits and panel upgrades. Compact dimensions, a lightweight profile, and cost-effective tubing options (PA tubing) help maintain lean BOMs and enable higher system integration density. Industry-ready features—low weight, compact form, and robust seals—address common objections about reliability and replacement costs in tight automation cells, while delivering predictable performance in OEM assemblies and module design.

FAQs
The M/1553/8 is designed for simple integration in compact pneumatic panels. It uses an M5 port and is compatible with Pneufit C push-in fittings (e.g., C02250405) and Polyamide tubing PA2-0004100, enabling tool-free connections. Its small footprint (27 mm height, 11 mm length, 45 mm width) and lightweight mass (0.014 kg) reduce panel crowding and simplify retrofits in packaging and lab automation environments.
Yes. This inline valve is specified for operating pressures from 2 to 10 bar (29 to 145 psi), making it suitable for most standard industrial compressed-air networks. Its 3/2 valve configuration supports direct actuation for compact control loops, and its 59 l/m flow rating ensures responsive actuation in small machinery and automation fixtures without sacrificing stability.
Best suited for compact automation tasks where space is at a premium, such as packaging lines, laboratory equipment, and small assembly fixtures. Its lightweight body and low actuation force make it ideal for hand- or micro-operator controlled workflows, while its 3/2 operation provides straightforward on/off control of pneumatic actuators in limited-space control panels.
The provided data does not specify formal certifications. In practice, Norgren Martonair products are designed to support CE safety compliance and robust industrial compatibility. For certified use, verify the latest datasheet and your regional requirements, and consider confirming CE marking and any site-specific standards during procurement and commissioning.
Maintenance is simplified by a non-corrosive plastic body and nitrile seals, reducing corrosion risk and extending service intervals in humid environments. The valve's light operating force lowers energy consumption and wear on actuators, translating to reduced maintenance costs and downtime. Its compact size and compatible fittings (Pneufit C, PA tubing) also shrink installation time and enable denser valve arrangements, boosting overall equipment efficiency and return on investment.
