Norgren P64S-3GC-N1N Valves & Flow Control - IP65
Part Number: P64S-3GC-N1N
Quick Summary
Norgren P64S-3GC-N1N is a soft start valve for pneumatic systems, enabling a controlled ramp of downstream pressure during startup to protect cylinders and operators in automation equipment. In busy production lines, pressure surges and sudden actuation can accelerate wear, compromise safety, and drive downtime; this valve mitigates those risks with a monitored dump function. Built as part of the Olympian Plus family, it features an IP65-rated sealed plug and a rugged zinc-alloy body suitable for harsh factory environments, with German engineering ensuring long-term reliability. By delivering predictable startups and high flow when needed, it provides tangible business benefits for OEMs and maintenance teams seeking safer, more efficient lines.

Soft-start regulation is at the heart of the P64S-3GC-N1N. By gradually increasing downstream pressure during startup, it reduces hydraulic shock to cylinders and seals, lowers peak loads on valves, and minimizes operator risk. In automation lines such as presses or pick-and-place systems, this smooth ramp translates into longer component life and fewer unplanned stoppages. Monitored dump function provides built-in fault detection and interlock signaling. The positively driven micro switch confirms the dump is occurring and can feed safety circuits to halt downstream motion if a fault occurs. This improves safety compliance in lines where controlled energy release is mandatory and reduces post-event troubleshooting. High forward flow and dump capacity ensure rapid cylinder actuation and energy release without compromising control. In high-speed lines, this capability supports short cycle times and consistent performance under peak loads. IP65 rating with a sealed plug enables confident operation in dirty or wet factory zones, minimizing enclosure requirements and simplifying installation. The rugged zinc alloy body and nitrile elastomer seals provide long-term reliability in demanding environments and resist chemical exposure from compressed air systems. Actuation is solenoid pilot with spring return in a 3/2 configuration, supporting straightforward integration with standard electrical controls. The G3/8 port size, Rc1/8 gauge port, and compact dimensions simplify installation and compatibility with common pneumatic manifolds. Designed as part of IMI Norgren's Olympian Plus series from Germany, the unit is compatible with the broader P64S family and spare parts are readily available. Dimensions and weight—202 mm height, 105 mm width, 74 mm length, 2.3 kg—facilitate fit in compact spaces. Maintenance and lifecycle costs are minimized through robust construction and proven performance in harsh environments, delivering reliable uptime and streamlined procurement for repetitive automation tasks.

FAQs
Install the valve with proper orientation for 3/2 operation, ensuring the G3/8 port aligns with the main supply and downstream circuit. Use a sealed plug where IP65 protection is required and wire the solenoid pilot to compatible control electronics. Verify gauge port Rc1/8 is accessible for diagnostics, and maintain a clean, dry air supply to prevent seal degradation.
The P64S-3GC-N1N is specified for 3 to 10 bar (43 to 145 psi) and operates efficiently from -20 to 50 °C (-4 to 122 °F). This range supports common industrial pneumatic applications, including continuous-start cycles in factory automation, while maintaining reliable performance and seal integrity.
Yes. The valve features a monitored dump function with a positively driven micro switch. This enables fault detection and safety interlock signaling in control circuits, ensuring a verifiable and controlled energy release during startup or emergency conditions, which enhances operator safety and reduces troubleshooting time.
The P64S-3GC-N1N offers IP65 protection when used with a sealed plug, protecting the internal components from dust and water ingress. Its German-manufactured Olympian Plus platform is designed for rugged industrial use, delivering reliable operation in tough factory environments that demand durable, long-life pneumatic valves.
Typical applications include startup control for pneumatic cylinders, automated presses, and pick-and-place machinery where safe energy ramp and rapid actuation are required. Benefits include improved cycle times, reduced downtime from pressure spikes, safer startup sequences for operators, and compatibility with standard G3/8 manifolds, simplifying installation and spare-part planning.
