Norgren P72F-2GC-PBN Excelon soft-start dump valve - G1/4
Part Number: P72F-2GC-PBN
Quick Summary
P72F-2GC-PBN Excelon soft-start dump valve provides controlled startup in compressed-air systems for automated machinery. Engineers and maintenance teams often struggle with startup surges, regulatory alignment, and unplanned downtime during ramp-up. This valve supports European Machinery Directive compliance and PUWER considerations, helping you meet safety and regulatory expectations with confidence. Its high forward flow and dump capability reduce surge energy, while robust zinc-alloy construction withstands busy shop-floor environments. Used on pneumatic lines, it suits OEMs seeking reliable, install-ready flow control that aligns with project timelines. With quick, predictable startup and straightforward integration with existing Excelon components, it lowers engineering effort and total lifecycle costs.

Feature: Medium is compressed air, designed for standard plant air systems without special conditioning. Business impact: The 21 dm3/sec (45 scfm) forward flow supports rapid but controlled venting, reducing startup dwell and energy waste. Application: Particularly beneficial on packaging, material handling, and automated assembly lines where predictable startup is critical. Feature: Solenoid pilot with spring return provides reliable, fail-safe actuation and simple wiring topologies. Business impact: Clean switching between actuated and venting states minimizes pressure spikes and improves cycle repeatability. Application: Ideal for OEM control panels and compact installations where space and reliability matter. Feature: Zinc alloy body with synthetic elastomer seals delivers robust durability. Business impact: Resists wear and corrosion in busy environments, extending service life and reducing maintenance costs. Application: Suitable for harsh shop-floor conditions across -20 to 50 °C. Feature: Range, series, and port compatibility ensure ecosystem fit. Business impact: Reduces installation time and spare-part variety by aligning with Excelon 72 Series accessories (T72T-2GA-P1N, 4216-52, 4215-08, 4214-51, 4214-52, 4224-50). Application: Works seamlessly with Excelon 72 components for rapid deployment. Feature: Compliance-oriented design supports European Machinery Directive and PUWER. Business impact: Accelerates regulatory approvals and minimizes rework, delivering faster time-to-value. Application: Valuable for machine builders and integrators targeting compliant startup sequences. Feature: Operating range and accessorie availability expand installation options. Business impact: Broadens compatibility with common fittings and spare coils (QM/48/18J/21) for maintenance planning. Application: Ideal for multi-line systems and retrofit projects.

FAQs
To install, mount the valve in a standard pneumatic manifold with G1/4 ports. Connect the wiring to a compatible solenoid coil (e.g., QM/48/18J/21 family) and wire the spring-return circuit for a fail-safe default. Use the same porting standards as other Excelon 72 series components for consistent performance and fast retrofit.
Operating pressure is 3–10 bar (44–145 psi); flow is 21 dm3/sec (45 scfm); operating temperature ranges from -20 to 50 °C (-4 to 122 °F). The 3/2 valve operation with solenoid pilot and spring return enables precise, repeatable startup control.
Yes. The P72F-2GC-PBN is designed to assist European Machinery Directive compliance and PUWER considerations, helping integrators demonstrate safety controls during machine startup and ramp-up sequences.
