Norgren P82F-3GT-PAN Soft Start Valve - G3/8 3-10 bar
Part Number: P82F-3GT-PAN
Quick Summary
The Norgren P82F-3GT-PAN Excelon Plus soft start valve enables smooth startup of pneumatic actuators in automation lines. Engineers often contend with startup shocks and pressure spikes that accelerate wear and reduce throughput. The design supports CE marking and is compatible with IP-rated environments where applicable; check the datasheet for SIL ratings. Inline or modular installation options simplify consolidation with other Excelon Plus devices, while high forward flow and fast exhaust translate into predictable cycle times. This combination delivers reliability, easier maintenance, and lower total cost of ownership for manufacturing, packaging, and process automation applications.

Installation flexibility enables inline or modular deployment, allowing retrofit or expansion without costly cabinet redesigns. Business impact includes reduced commissioning time and lower project risk, particularly when upgrading aging lines in automotive, packaging, and process industries. The high forward flow of 21 dm3/s and rapid exhaust shorten actuator cycles, boosting throughput and enabling tighter process control in high-speed pick-and-place, clamping, and material handling applications. Variable snap adjustment provides precise tuning to actuator load, minimizing leakage and energy waste, which translates into notable energy savings and longer seal life across continuous operation. The solenoid pilot with spring return offers straightforward electrical integration with standard controllers and predictable response, reducing wiring complexity and downtime during maintenance. G3/8 ported 3/2 operation aligns with common pneumatic manifolds, simplifying panel design and spare-part compatibility. Aluminum body and nitrile elastomer seals deliver robust durability in harsh factory environments, supporting long service intervals. Access to CAD data, brochures, datasheets, and installation guides accelerates design validation and compliant commissioning.

FAQs
The P82F-3GT-PAN supports both inline installation and modular integration with other Excelon Plus products. This flexibility makes retrofits and extensions straightforward, reducing downtime and avoiding wholesale controlcab or manifold replacement. Its G3/8 porting and 3/2 valve configuration align with standard pneumatic hardware, simplifying integration into established line layouts.
This valve operates within a 3 to 10 bar pressure range and a -20 to 65 °C temperature window. It uses a G3/8 port size and delivers a forward flow of 21 dm3/sec (45 scfm) with a solenoid pilot that provides reliable actuation and a spring return to ensure safe fail-safe behavior in power loss scenarios.
Yes. The combination of high forward flow, fast exhaust, and adjustable snap enables rapid, repeatable actuation with minimal cycle delay. This makes it well suited for high-speed applications such as pick-and-place, clamping, and fixture actuation in packaging, automation, and assembly lines where cycle time reduction directly improves throughput.
Norgren provides CAD data, product brochures, a detailed datasheet, and an installation guide for the Excelon Plus family. These resources support accurate modeling, drop-in compatibility checks, and correct installation practices, helping engineers validate fit, plan maintenance, and accelerate commissioning on new or expanded lines.
The valve reduces startup shocks and pressure spikes, enhancing actuator life and line reliability. Its inline/modular flexibility lowers retrofit costs, faster commissioning improves uptime, and adjustable flow control supports energy efficiency. Collectively, these benefits translate to lower total cost of ownership and improved production throughput in industrial automation settings.
