FAQs
NE/13338 is designed for sub-base mounting using ISO 5599-1 size 3 specifications. Plan for its compact footprint, ensure available space near the actuator, and verify G1/8 and G1/2 port options align with your piping layout. The unit’s diecast aluminium body and nitrile seals simplify mounting and protect against everyday industrial exposure.
The built-in proximity switch provides diagnostic coverage rated at DC 99%, enabling real-time fault detection without external wiring complexity. This reduces panel wiring, shortens commissioning time, and helps maintenance teams identify valve failures before they impact production, delivering higher uptime and safer machine operation in automated lines.
Yes. NE/13338 follows ISO 5599-1 sizing and provides G1/8 and G1/2 port options, ensuring compatibility with standard manifolds and piping. Its sub-base mounting design allows easy integration into existing pneumatic control architectures, while the durable aluminium body keeps mounting alignment stable over the life of the system.
This safety block carries IP65 ingress protection, CE conformity, and ISO 5599-1 size 3 compatibility, aligning with common global standards for industrial equipment. The combination of robust materials and protective enclosure makes it suitable for dusty and wet factory floors, while maintaining reliable performance under wide operating temperatures.
The glandless spool with protective coating reduces wear and leak risk, extending service life and cutting maintenance frequency. The integrated diagnostic switch lowers wiring and enables predictive maintenance, contributing to reduced downtime and faster troubleshooting—delivering a favorable return on investment in automated production lines.
