FAQs
The XSHC04 uses 4 mm push-in (PIF) ports, compatible with standard pneumatic manifolds and quick-connect fittings. This simplifies retrofits and new installations alike, reducing assembly time and potential leakage points while supporting reliable, leak-tight actuation in automated lines.
XSHC04 is designed to EN574 Class IIIB compliant two-hand safety control and is single fault tolerant. The combination ensures actuation only when both hands are engaged, providing a high level of operator protection and reducing the risk of unintended releases in high-speed automation environments.
Yes. Operating from 3 to 8 bar and -5 to 40 °C, with a steel body and nitrile seals, XSHC04 is built for demanding industrial settings such as automated packaging, material handling, and assembly lines. Its 3/2 NC configuration supports reliable, compact control in constrained spaces.
There is no adjustment required during setup, simplifying commissioning. Seals are nitrile rubber, offering oil resistance typical in pneumatics. If wear is observed, seal replacement is straightforward, and the steel body provides a durable frame that minimizes downtime during service intervals.
Expect improved operator safety, reduced risk of accidental actuation, and shorter installation times due to no-field calibration. The robust design supports longer service intervals, predictable performance, and lower total cost of ownership in automated production environments.
