DIRECT MOUNT ACTUATOR VALVES

SPECIFICATIONS

The Versa NAMUR mount control valves are high flow, bubbletight, direct acting or solenoid/pilot operated. They are designed

to mount directly to any NAMUR actuator, thus reducing actuator response time and cost of tubing, fittings, brackets, and labor.

These valves are available in two materials - Aluminum and 316L stainless steel.

E5 is a direct acting 3-way (3/2) solenoid valve. C5 and C316 are solenoid/pilot operated high ow, 5-port NAMUR valves. They

are available as single or double solenoid 2-position (C5 - C316) and 3-position (C5) models. Single solenoid spring return

models utilize an air assisted spring return feature, assuring a positive return. Double solenoid valves may be used in applications

where a momentary signal is required or in a “fail in last shifted position” actuator application.

A complete selection of electrical connections, area classifications, and power requirements makes the most exacting and

demanding specifications or applications easy to satisfy.

General Description

The aluminum C5 NAMUR is available as

either 4-way (for double acting actuators)

or 3-way (for spring return or fail-safe

actuators). This valve is field convertible

utilizing no special tools, gaskets, or

sealants.

Relocation of a port plug converts a

3-way to a 4-way, or a 4-way to a 3-way.

When the 4-way valve is converted to

3-way function, the unused exhaust port

becomes an actuator vent into which a

filter/muffler can be installed to prevent

contaminants from entering either the

valve or the actuator.

Single solenoid models (for 2-position

control), or double solenoid models (for 2

or 3-position control) are available.

Actuator positioning is possible with the

use of 3-position valves since all Versa

C5 NAMUR valves are bubbletight.

C5 NAMUR

General Description

The C316 NAMUR valve is available

as either a 4-way (for double acting

actuators) or as a 3-way (for spring return

actuators).

When the 3-way function is utilized,

the unused exhaust port becomes an

actuator vent where a filter/muffler can

be installed to prevent contaminants from

entering the valve or the actuator.

The 5-port design allows the user to

independently control actuator speed in

either open or closed direction by utilizing

speed or bleed controls.

Double solenoid models are equipped

with a detent that maintains the valve

in the last shifted position, even in high

vibration applications.

C316 NAMUR

General Description

The aluminum E5 NAMUR mount

control valve is an inexpensive,

simple and effective 3-way direct-

acting solenoid valve. It is designed

to mount directly to any actuator with

NAMUR footprint thus reducing cost

of tubing, fittings, brackets and labor.

It is most effective on spring return or

fail-safe actuators where high speed

open or close is not important, but

where cost is a factor. A threaded ac-

tuator vent port is standard.

Available as a 3-way, 2-position, direct

acting solenoid, spring return only, and

with most of the Versa solenoid options.

* Pressures ranges may change based on solenoid option. For applications above 125 psi (8.6 bar) exhaust flow controls or mufflers are recommended.
