Norgren P64F-4GC-PBN Valves & Flow Control - G1/2
Part Number: P64F-4GC-PBN
Quick Summary
P64F-4GC-PBN is a Norgren Olympian Plus soft start dump valve designed to manage downstream pressure during pneumatic startup. Engineers face startup shocks that cause wear, downtime, and regulatory scrutiny; this valve softens that impact. CE conformity under the European Machinery Directive and PUWER readiness help you meet mandatory requirements on new and retrofitted machines. By delivering controlled ramping and high-flow dump capacity, it supports reliable cycles and safer, compliant operations across automation lines. Adopters frequently cite faster commissioning, reduced maintenance costs, and smoother PLC integration when using Olympian Plus valves in packaging, automotive, and general pneumatic tooling applications. This makes it a practical choice for design engineers aiming for compliant, efficient machines from prototype through full production.

Feature: The valve operates on compressed air with a G1/2 port size and a defined operating range of 3 to 10 bar. This combination delivers consistent performance from start-up to steady-state flow, improving cycle times and reducing pressure spikes in pneumatic lines. Feature: Solenoid pilot / Spring return actuation ensures fail-safe behavior. This enables controlled ramp-up and automatic pressure release when power is removed, reducing risk of unintended actuator motion. This is ideal for primary and secondary start-up sequences in packaging and assembly lines. Feature: Valve operation 3/2 with a high flow capacity of 57 dm3/sec (121 scfm). Business impact: high forward flow supports rapid actuation of downstream cylinders while maintaining accuracy. Feature: Materials - Body zinc alloy; Elastomers nitrile rubber; This rugged construction withstands typical shop air contaminants, providing longer service life and lower maintenance. This is well-suited for harsh manufacturing environments with temperature fluctuations. Feature: Range P64F; Series Olympian Plus; Brand IMI Norgren; Accessories and Mountings: T64T-4GB-P1N plug-in shut-off valve; Wall Bracket 74504-50; Yoke assemblies Y64A-4GA-N2N/N1N; Silencer MB004B. These integration options simplify installation and future expansion in automated lines. Feature: The compact footprint and standard G1/2 porting enable quick retrofit into existing manifolds and PLC-controlled circuits, addressing common objections about integration with legacy equipment.

FAQs
The valve uses standard G1/2 ports and is compatible with common mounting accessories such as the 74504-50 Wall Bracket and Y64A-4GA-N2N/N1N yoke assemblies. For retrofit projects, verify space for the valve block and ensure the compressed air supply is within 3-10 bar. Use the Rc1/8 gauge port for instrumentation if required, and ensure proper electrical control wiring for the solenoid pilot.
Key specs include operating pressure of 3 to 10 bar (43 to 145 psi), working medium as compressed air, port size G1/2, valve operation 3/2, flow around 57 dm3/sec (121 scfm), and actuation by solenoid pilot with spring return. Temperature range is -20 to 50 °C, enabling stable performance across typical plant environments.
Yes. Its soft-start dump action provides controlled ramping and pressure release during start-up, reducing shock to downstream cylinders and improving repeatability in packaging and assembly automation. The high-flow capability supports rapid actuation without sacrificing control.
The valve supports CE conformity under the European Machinery Directive and PUWER readiness, helping you meet essential regulatory requirements for new and retrofitted machinery across European and UK installations.
Its zinc alloy body and nitrile elastomer seals provide durability in harsh environments, reducing maintenance intervals. Quick retrofit options with standard fittings and mounting accessories shorten commissioning time, delivering faster time-to-value and lower total cost of ownership.
