FAQs
The P72C-2GC-PFA is built for seamless integration within the Excelon modular system. With a G1/4 port size and standard 3/2 valve operation, it pairs with common Excelon accessories such as shut-off valves, porting blocks, and Quikclamp assemblies to simplify mounting and reduce configuration time on existing panels.
Key specs include a 3 to 10 bar operating pressure window and a 3/2 valve operation with solenoid pilot and spring return. The valve is designed for compressed air media and operates between -20 and 65 °C, enabling reliable cycling in typical plant environments and consistent actuator speeds across stations.
For safety-critical contexts, refer to the system design that incorporates safe actuation logic and compatible control schemes. While the valve itself offers a robust solenoid-piloted 3/2 configuration, ensure your installation aligns with your plant’s safety integrity level (SIL) targets and any site-specific compliance requirements, consulting the datasheet for exact installation guidelines.
In regulated environments, look for CE compliance in general automotive and industrial automation contexts, alongside compatibility with SIL-based control schemes and appropriate enclosure protection. Always verify the specific product version in the datasheet or with the supplier to confirm exact certifications for your installation.
Maintenance ROI is enhanced by readily available spare coils and modular accessories. The QM series spare coils support quick field replacements, minimizing downtime. Coupled with a modular approach and durable zinc alloy bodies, this reduces maintenance costs and extends service life in high-cycle applications.
