FAQs
The P68F-NGL-PJN is designed for flexible mounting. If you don’t use a yoke, you can mount it with compatible wall brackets (18-001-979) and secure the body for upright installation. Optional Y68A-6GN-N1N/N2N yoke assemblies are available if later retrofits require a standard yoke interface. Always ensure IP65 plugs are sealed to maintain protection.
This valve operates as a 3/2 configuration with solenoid pilot and spring return. Operating pressure is 3-10 bar (44-145 psi), medium is compressed air, and the maximum flow is 147 dm3/sec (312 scfm). It tolerates -20 to 50 C and uses an aluminum body with nitrile elastomer seals, with IP65 protection when the plug is sealed.
Yes. The valve is designed to assist compliance with the EU Machinery Directive and PUWER, supports CE considerations, and provides IP65 protection for demanding environments. These features help organizations meet legislative safety requirements while maintaining productive automation and reducing risk during commissioning.
Optimal for startup sequencing in packaging lines, conveyors, and robotic work cells, the P68F-NGL-PJN provides controlled pressure ramp and venting. It is ideal for automation projects requiring high-flow capability, reliable 3/2 valve control, and easy retrofits with minimal downtime during installation or upgrades.
Routine checks should focus on seal integrity and the solenoid/spring mechanism. Use nitrile elastomer seals per specification and inspect the IP65 sealed plug for ingress protection. Consider stocking Yoke assemblies (Y68A-6GN-N1N/N2N) and a wall bracket (18-001-979) to support quick field retrofits and ongoing uptime.
