Norgren T68C-8GB-B2N Valve - 3/2 Shut-off G1 Port
Part Number: T68C-8GB-B2N
Quick Summary
Norgren T68C-8GB-B2N Valve provides compact 3/2 shut-off control for pneumatic circuits in manufacturing tooling. In busy automation environments, space constraints and misaligned actuation can lead to unexpected downtime and safety concerns. While exact certifications for this model should be confirmed in the datasheet, Norgren’s Olympian Plus family typically supports CE conformity and robust enclosure options, with potential SIL-ready integration where required. The design emphasizes ease of installation, lockability in the open or closed position, and a lightweight aluminium body, helping you reduce installation time and lifecycle costs. By combining performance with ease of maintenance, this valve supports scalable automation without sacrificing reliability.

FAQs
Follow the Installation Guide (PDF) to mount the valve with the G1 port connections, connect the air supply and actuator lines, and verify the unthreaded exhaust path is unobstructed. Ensure the T handle is unlocked during setup and test for proper seating before commissioning the line.
Key specs include medium: compressed air; port size: G1; valve operation: 3/2; maximum inlet pressure: 17 bar; flow: 451 dm3/sec (956 scfm); actuation: T handle; materials: aluminium body with nitrile elastomers; operating range: -20 to 80 °C. These support reliable, high-cycle pneumatic control.
Yes, its compact 3/2 design, lockable actuation, and robust aluminium construction support rapid cycling and safer operation in high-speed lines. The flow capacity and clean exhaust help maintain consistent actuation timing even in dense manifolds or skids typical of packaging and assembly automation.
Certification details should be verified on the model datasheet. Norgren products in this family commonly align with CE conformity and appropriate enclosure protection, with SIL integration considerations where applicable. Always consult the Datasheet PDF and the datasheet-linked resources to confirm for your market and application.
The lockable open/closed feature reduces misoperation and safety incidents, while the aluminium body and nitrile elastomer seals minimize weight and wear. Quick installation, modular compatibility with the Olympian Plus line, and a clear maintenance path translate to lower downtime, predictable service intervals, and improved overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
