FAQs

The valve is designed without a yoke, enabling flexible mounting. Use compatible wall brackets 18-001-978 or 18-001-979 for secure installation, and pair with Yoke assemblies Y68A-6GN-N1N or Y68A-6GN-N2N if a yoke is required. The compact footprint simplifies integration into crowded panels and enables straightforward wiring routes.
Key specs include medium: compressed air, operating temperature -20 to 80 °C, operating pressure 3–17 bar, valve operation 3/2, and flow 147 dm3/sec (312 scfm). Actuation is via air pilot or spring return, and port size is without yoke. These together deliver a predictable, rapid, yet controlled startup sequence.
The P68F-NGB-NNN is designed to support alignment with the European Machineries Directive and PUWER. While not guaranteeing CE labeling in every installation, its robust construction and startup control capabilities help engineers demonstrate compliance and safer machine operation during commissioning and lifecycle maintenance.
Consider the aluminum body, nitrile elastomer seals, and compact dimensions (165 mm x 110 mm x 108 mm) with a weight of 2.05 kg. Mounting flexibility is enhanced by the absence of a yoke and available wall brackets or optional Yoke assemblies. Plan for proper mounting clearance and a stable supply of clean, dry compressed air.
Durable aluminum body and nitrile elastomer seals reduce wear and maintenance intervals, while high-flow performance supports quicker, repeatable start-ups. Access to CAD datasheets and installation guides streamlines replacement or retrofit projects. Overall, expected gains include reduced downtime, consistent cycle times, and improved compliance documentation during audits.
