Norgren P72C-3GC-PFA Valve - Excelon 3/2, G3/8
Part Number: P72C-3GC-PFA
Quick Summary
P72C-3GC-PFA is a solenoid-operated valve for compressed air control in automated production lines. Engineers often struggle with reliability and leaks in compact 3/2 solutions when pressure fluctuates. This Excelon model uses a zinc alloy body and synthetic elastomers to deliver durable operation from -20 to 65 °C and 3 to 10 bar, supporting stable performance in harsh environments. Certification details aren’t listed in this data, but the valve’s robust construction and the Excelon ecosystem enable easier maintenance, faster part replacement, and scalable integration across multiple stations. Overall, it supports improved line uptime and consistent actuation, complementing standard valves in automation, pick-and-place, and clamping applications.

FAQs
To install the P72C-3GC-PFA, connect using a G3/8 port with compatible piping. Use the Excelon Plus Pipe Adaptor (4215-09) for a secure, leak-free seal and consider the Quikclamp (4214-51) or wall-mount variant (4214-52) for quick mounting. Ensure wiring to the solenoid coil matches the control voltage and verify the 3/2 valve orientation to suit your actuator.
Key specs include a 3 to 10 bar operating range (44 to 145 psi), operating temperature from -20 to 65 °C (-4 to 149 °F), and a G3/8 port size with 3/2 valve operation. Medium is compressed air, and actuation is via solenoid pilot with spring return, ensuring predictable and repeatable actuation in automation circuits.
Yes. The P72C-3GC-PFA is a compact Excelon 3/2 valve optimized for fast, reliable actuation in pneumatic circuits common to pick-and-place and clamping setups. Its compact footprint, robust build, and standardized porting (G3/8) support tight installation spaces while delivering repeatable cycle times and predictable clamping force.
Certification details are not listed in the provided data. When sourcing, confirm with the supplier or consult the datasheet for CE marking, IP ratings, SIL suitability, and other regulatory attestations relevant to your region and application to ensure compliance.
Spare coils (QM/48/13J/21) are available, along with Silencers (MB002B) and mounting/accessory options such as Excelon Plus adaptor (4215-09) and Quikclamp variants (4214-51, 4214-52). Porting blocks (4224-50) and other Excelon components support field serviceability, quick replacements, and easier upgrades to the Excelon ecosystem.
