Norgren P64F-6GC-PFA - Olympian Plus valve - 3-10 bar
Part Number: P64F-6GC-PFA
Quick Summary
P64F-6GC-PFA is a soft-start valve designed to control downstream pressure during startup in pneumatic systems. Engineers often contend with surges that cause wear, vibration, and slower production cycles. The unit supports compliance with the European Machineries Directive and PUWER, helping to streamline safe commissioning and reduce project risk. Built for robust automation environments, it combines high flow with reliable actuation. The design accommodates standard control interfaces, enabling smooth integration into existing cabinets while maintaining performance. This combination translates into reduced downtime, longer equipment life, and clearer traceability for regulatory reviews. In short, it delivers safer, faster, and more predictable machine start-ups for industrial lines.

FAQs
Install with the standard G3/4 port connections and connect the solenoid pilot or spring return actuation to your PLC output. For mounting options, use the Wall Bracket 74504-50 or Yoke assemblies Y64A-6GA-N1N/N2N as appropriate. The unit includes a Rc1/8 gauge port for diagnostics, and spare components such as T64T-6GB-P1N and QM/48/13J/21 coils are available to simplify retrofits.
The valve delivers a flow of 57 dm3/sec (121 scfm) with an operating pressure range of 3 to 10 bar (43 to 145 psi). It uses a 3/2 valve configuration, G3/4 port size, and Rc1/8 gauge port, enabling controlled pressurization and rapid venting during startup in automation lines.
Yes. The Olympian Plus design emphasizes high forward flow and controlled startup, which supports rapid cycle times without compromising downstream components. It is well suited for packaging, robotics, and clamping applications where startup surges must be minimized and reliable repeatability is required.
The P64F-6GC-PFA is purpose-built to aid compliance with the European Machineries Directive and PUWER by enabling safe, controlled startup and reducing surge-related risk. While not a standalone CE/ISO certificate, its design and material choices help meet regulatory expectations for machine safety and equipment use in regulated environments.
Spare coils (QM/48/13J/21), plug-in shut-off valve options (T64T-6GB-P1N), and silencers (MB004B) are available to minimize downtime. The rugged zinc alloy body and nitrile seals reduce wear, while the predictable startup behavior lowers energy consumption and unplanned maintenance, delivering a favorable total cost of ownership over time.
