Direct actuation and 3/2 operation deliver fast response and reliable cycling. The solenoid pilot with spring return minimizes mechanical lag, reducing wear on cascading valves and improving control accuracy. This design is well-suited for packaging lines, automation cells, and assembly fixtures where precise single-acting control is essential. G1/2 port size aligns with common pneumatic fittings and hoses, cutting integration time and spare-part variety. This standardization helps teams retrofit existing equipment without extensive plumbing changes, accelerating project timelines. IP65 protection with a sealed plug provides robust ingress protection against dust and water jets in dirty or washdown environments. The sealed design also reduces filter maintenance and protects electronics in wet plants, lowering total cost of ownership. Operating pressure of 3 to 10 bar offers broad compatibility with most compressed-air systems, allowing a single valve to cover multiple applications. This flexibility minimizes inventory and simplifies design validation, especially in multi-line machines. Operating temperature from -20 to 50 °C enables operation in cold rooms and hot manufacturing zones without performance loss. The zinc body paired with synthetic elastomer seals delivers durable performance while keeping costs under control. Compact dimensions and a weight of 0.74 kg support tight panel layouts, with a height of 163 mm, length 58 mm, and width 80 mm. The layout compatibility, coupled with the Excelon platform's proven reliability, speeds installation and serviceability.

FAQs
P74C-NGC-PFN uses standard G1/2 port connections, allowing straightforward mounting on most pneumatic manifolds. Since the model is described as 'without connectors' in its listing, team installers should provision compatible G1/2 fittings and seals per their panel design. With the compact zinc body and standardized porting, retrofits typically require minimal plumbing changes and verified seal integrity during commissioning.
The valve supports an operating pressure range from 3 to 10 bar (44 to 145 psi) and a temperature range of -20 to 50 °C (-4 to 122 °F). This combination covers a broad set of industrial applications, from chilled environments to warmer machine floors, while maintaining reliable actuation and seating across cycles.
Yes. The P74C-NGC-PFN features IP65 protection with a sealed plug, delivering robust ingress protection against dust and water jets. This makes it well-suited for washdown areas, dusty production lines, and outdoor installations where maintaining internal electronics is critical and downtime must be minimized.
The key certification-related specification is IP65 protection, including a sealed plug design for enhanced environmental resilience. This level of ingress protection reduces the risk of contamination and protects critical control components, contributing to dependable operation in harsh industrial settings.
Excelon 3/2 valves are designed for long service life with minimal moving parts and robust construction (zinc body, synthetic elastomer seals). The direct solenoid actuation minimizes plumbing complexity, reducing potential leak paths and maintenance overhead. The combination of reliability and simplified wiring supports higher machine uptime and a favorable total cost of ownership over multi-year deployments.
