Norgren P64F-2GD-PFA Soft Start Valve - 3-10 bar
Part Number: P64F-2GD-PFA
Quick Summary
Norgren P64F-2GD-PFA Soft Start Valve enables controlled pressure ramps during pneumatic start-up across automation lines. Manufacturers often face pressure spikes that cause component wear and unplanned downtime, especially during line startups. This valve supports compliance with European Machineries Directive and PUWER by limiting startup surges and ensuring predictable performance. In compressed air circuits it delivers smooth, repeatable openings and controlled dump, reducing energy waste and prolonging actuator life. Built for reliability in demanding environments, it also offers straightforward integration with existing Norgren accessories and standard mounting provisions to keep commissioning fast and predictable. The result is safer startups, easier validation, and lower total cost of ownership for industrial packaging, machining, and automation systems.

FAQs
Install the P64F-2GD-PFA using the G1/4 port and Rc1/8 gauge port for instrumentation. Ensure correct orientation for solenoid pilot/spring return operation and mount with compatible accessories such as the 74504-50 wall bracket or Y64A-2GA assemblies. Confirm downstream connections to the 3/2 circuit and check for leaks with compressed air at 3 to 10 bar. Include the T64T-2GB-P1N plug-in shut-off valve if needed for serviceability.
Its soft start dump capability dampens downstream surge during startup, delivering a controlled pressure ramp that protects actuators and reduces electrical and mechanical stress. The solenoid pilot with spring return ensures repeatable operation, while the 3/2 valve configuration provides predictable sequence control essential for compliant machine commissioning and rapid line validation.
Verify medium as compressed air, operating temperature -20 to 50 °C, operating pressure 3 to 10 bar, port size G1/4, gauge port Rc1/8, and valve operation 3/2. Flow capacity is 57 dm3/sec (121 scfm). Ensure compatible mounting hardware and elastomer seals (nitrile) are suitable for your environment and any adjacent fluids or solvents.
Industries include automotive, packaging, and general manufacturing where pneumatic start-up control reduces start-up shocks. Applications cover automated assembly lines, stamping and clamping stations, and packaging equipment where reliable ramping and compliance with European Machineries Directive and PUWER are critical to maintain uptime and regulatory alignment.
Keep spare coils (QM/48/13J/21) for the solenoid, and stock nitrile elastomer seals to ensure quick replacement during preventive maintenance. Regularly inspect the zinc alloy body for signs of wear and verify the Rc1/8 gauge port remains unobstructed. Use the Olympian Plus accessories (T64T-2GB-P1N, MB004B silencer) to maintain performance and noise compliance.
