Norgren VM158517AB313B Valve Slice - IP65

Fieldbus readiness and flexible wiring options help reduce panel complexity and shorten commissioning times. This VM158517AB313B supports multipole configurations or individual wiring, enabling engineers to tailor the valve island to the exact control architecture. In practice, you can deploy dense I/O islands on VM15 hardware and route signals with fewer cross-wires, streamlining maintenance and reducing downtime on automated lines. High-density valve islands allow up to 32 solenoids (16 valves) in a single island, delivering significant space savings and simpler field wiring. The business impact is lower cabinet footprint, reduced installation time, and easier future expansion as production lines scale. This is ideal for packaging and assembly lines where space is at a premium. Compact and lightweight design, with an engineered PPA body and nitrile seals, reduces weight in moving assemblies and minimizes energy usage during actuation. Integral push-in fittings speed installation and eliminate loose fittings, cutting leak points and maintenance costs. The VM15 island concept enables modular, scalable configurations for industrial automation, lowering total cost of ownership. Robust operating range and flow performance ensure predictability in real-world systems. With a -5 to 50 °C operating temperature and 3 to 8 bar operating pressure, the unit handles a wide range of pneumatic tasks. A maximum flow of 1000 L/min supports responsive actuation in medium to high-demand circuits, while 8 mm PIF port size aligns with common industrial fittings. Protection and durability come standard with an IP65-rated enclosure and a life expectancy up to 100 million cycles, supporting reliable operation in dusty environments and washdown scenarios. The 93.6 mm length and 76 mm width enable straightforward integration into modular valve islands; the 0.16 kg weight helps minimize dynamic loads on moving machinery.
