Feature: Medium is compressed air. Business Impact: Ensures clean, dry pneumatic supply and predictable performance in automation lines. Application: Suitable for general pneumatic actuation in packaging and machine tools. The P64F-4GC-PAN delivers controlled pressure rise during startup, reducing system shock and increasing line throughput. Feature: Operating Pressure 3–10 bar. Business Impact: Enables safe operation across a wide range of tooling and cylinders, minimizing risk of overpressure. Application: Useful in clamp and pick-and-place stations where consistent startup is critical. Feature: Port Size G1/2 and Gauge Port Rc1/8. Business Impact: Simplifies plumbing and diagnostics with standard threads, accelerating installation and maintenance. Application: Ideal when retrofitting existing lines or integrating with common NAMUR-style manifolds. Feature: Actuation Solenoid Pilot / Spring Return. Business Impact: Fail-safe behavior reduces risk of unintended movement on power loss, protecting tooling and operators. Application: Common in safety-conscious automation and quick-connect control schemes. Feature: Valve operation 3/2 with Flow 57 dm3/sec. Business Impact: High forward flow capacity supports rapid response without overshoot, improving cycle times. Application: Suitable for high-speed valves, clamps, and pick-and-place grippers. Feature: Materials Body Zinc Alloy; Elastomers Nitrile. Business Impact: Durable, wear-resistant construction supports long service life in demanding environments. Application: Industrial automation environments with frequent cycling and exposure to oil-free compressed air. Feature: Range P64F; Series Olympian Plus; Brand IMI Norgren. Business Impact: Proven platform with plug-in accessories like T64T-4GB-P1N and mounting options, shortening commissioning. Application: Fits standard Olympian Plus circuits and maintenance procedures.

FAQs
Install P64F-4GC-PAN using standard G1/2 port connections, route the supply to the medium (compressed air), and connect the gauge port Rc1/8 for diagnostics. Use compatible mounting hardware such as 74504-50 Wall Bracket or Yoke assemblies (Y64A-4GA-N1N / N2N) for secure mounting. Follow the Installation Guide for wiring and safety precautions.
Key specs include compressed air as the medium, operating pressure 3–10 bar (43–145 psi), port size G1/2, gauge port Rc1/8, 3/2 valve operation, flow up to 57 dm3/sec (121 scfm), and actuation by solenoid pilot with spring return. The body is zinc alloy and elastomers are nitrile rubber, suited to industrial environments.
The valve supports compliance considerations under the European Machinery Directive and PUWER, helping machine builders meet regulatory requirements during design and retrofits. While CE documentation should be confirmed per installation, using this valve aids risk reduction, safer startups, and regulatory alignment in automated systems.
Recommended accessories include T64T-4GB-P1N for plug-in shut-off, Mounting options like 74504-50 Wall Bracket and Y64A-4GA-N1N/N2N Yoke assemblies, and the MB004B Quietaire silencer for noise reduction. These components simplify integration, serviceability, and compliance in compact Olympian Plus configurations.
The valve reduces startup inrush and downstream pressure spikes, protecting downstream actuators and extending tooling life. With high-flow capability and robust construction, it improves cycle times, reduces unplanned downtime, and simplifies regulatory compliance, delivering measurable gains in uptime, maintenance costs, and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
