the safe choice.norgren-Herion safety Valves.In many applications, safety valves are essential to protect people or expensive machine parts and mechanical elements. norgren-Herion safety Valves are the ideal choice for ultimate safety.

Whether for mechanical or pneumatic presses, amusement park facilities, emergency brake systems, handling systems or robots, process control or special machines, Norgren-Herion has a safety valve to suit the application and protect people and machinery.

With their fail-safe operation they not only satisfy all relevant safety regulations and increase safety, but can also lead to increased productivity. The valves’ inherently fail-safe design incorporates dynamic self-monitoring, a double crossflow channel, residual pressure-free

system, and a short response time.

The valves are also built for long life, making them a value-for-money choice as well as a safe one.

Additional safety equipment which is compatible with the Norgren-Herion Safety Valves range comprises soft start and soft stop damping modules, overlap correction, failure indication elements, and safety silencers with either thread or flange connection.

Both 3/2 and 5/2 safety valves conform to category IV performance level ‘e’.

trusted, Proven and now up to date!the norgren range of ‘super X’ valves began life almost 50 years ago as the enots Integral series.

Since that time, they have undergone a number of changes but always retained their status as a rugged, reliable, trusted product suitable for all manner of both everyday and unusual applications. Customers include general industrial but also quite specialised areas like road going and rail vehicles.

The good news is that they are still available at their excellent value for money prices. The better news is that the most popular models are now available with ‘high tech’ moulded thermoplastic bodies. Most G1/8 - 3/2 variants now have a body moulded in an engineering standard plastic

already well tried on Norgren’s VM range of valve islands. This means less weight – of prime importance to vehicle builders particularly. Additional changes include the option of built in push in fittings – presenting a weight, size and cost saving over previous models.

Operating heads on manual versions are based upon electrical industry standards for compatibility, and mechanical operators retain their rugged, robust nature.

Investment of this kind doesn’t come cheap, and Norgren have invested heavily in production facilities which see each and every valve thoroughly tested for

performance prior to despatch. Before launch, the new versions also went through full performance testing under strict environmental conditions to ensure that this valve isn’t just as good as the previous model – they are better!

The Norgren Express range of proportional solenoid valves comprises both proportional pressure and flow versions with open or closed loop control. Applications for these products cover all manner of industrial sectors. The valves incorporate advanced spool and balanced-poppet technologies, and provide true stepless pressure or flow control – for a smooth response, low noise, and a long, trouble-free cycle life.

Quick to set-up and highly configurable, the valves offer maximum flexibility and ease of tuning through on-board digital electronics. Critical parameters such as pressure range and response times can be set through simple potentiometer adjustments or menu-driven programming from the front panel keypad/display. Calibration parameters can also be downloaded from a PC to the valve. The microprocessor-based design means the valves also offer self-diagnostics, optional digital displays, and a variety of Fieldbus interfaces.

To ensure precision performance, the closed loop is achieved via internal

pressure feedback in pressure control valves, and spool position feedback in flow control valves.

Where and why?

Pressure control Proportional Valves can be found in applications such as spot welding – where response speed and repeatability are important advantages – tension control (resolution and true stepless control make Proportional Valves invaluable) and leak testing (repeatability and the dynamic response characteristic make Proportional Valves ideal for this application).

Flow Control Proportional Valve applications include positioning (stability and different units’ repeatability of control are essential benefits), torque and speed control (demanding quick response times and stability) and cylinder motion control, paint spraying, volume control, filing systems and many more.

Take your pick

VP23 Pressure Control3-way proportional pressure regulator with range of standard pressure outputs (2/10/16 bar), poppet valve for low friction, and high maximum operating pressure (18 bar/261 psi). Nominal sizes DN 8 and DN 16. Available with serial windows-user interface (VPTool) and status LED as standard. Optional LCD display or Profibus DP also available.

VP50/51 Pressure Control3-way proportional pressure regulator with a direct acting glandless spool integrated close loop control. Less than 1W power consumption. Accurate to a total error of less than 1% of total span. Available with or without built in programming panel and optional Devicenet control.

VP60 flow Control5/3 function proportional direct operated spool valve with micro-controlled position feedback and integrated digital electronics. Rapid response times. Available with Serial windows-user interface (VPTool) and status LED as standard. Optional LCD display or Profibus DP also available.

Don’t lose control.norgren Proportional Valves.Proportional valves provide the flexibility to control output pressure or flow in an application. norgren has an extensive range, with a wide range of pressure and flow options.

the valves offer self-diagnostics, optional digital displays, and a variety of Fieldbus interfaces.

Law and orders.If you’re thinking of placing an order for valves, whether or not they comply with the ec Machinery Directive, is probably not top of your mind. But it’s worth being sure, to be safe.

The Machinery Directive is intended to harmonise essential health and safety requirements for machinery at European level. But like much European legislation, understanding it and making sure you comply with it are not at all easy. That’s why it makes sense to be sure to purchase your valves from a reputable manufacturer and supplier such as Norgren, to ensure you get useful and valid advice, and that the products you purchase are fully compliant.

Whilst most components are not designed to be safety components, some are employed to perform safety-related functions. In that case, they must meet the

requirements of the Directive. For example, a solenoid-operated spring return three-port two-position valve is a standard product that can be used for a number of different applications. But it is often used for dumping compressed air from a cylinder or system in response to an emergency stop. If the valve fails to operate, the cylinder or system could remain pressurised, so in this case the valve is performing a safety-related function.

This means it falls under the Directive and must be compliant. So it needs to have been manufactured to a European Standard, and come with a Declaration of Conformity from the manufacturer or importer, as well as being CE marked. If the equipment doesn’t fall under the Directive’s definition of machinery, but is integral to the machine, a Declaration of Incorporation rather than Conformity needs to be issued.

Confused? We’re not surprised. So before you order a valve for an application which you feel may be affected by the Directive, make sure you talk to one of Norgren’s valve experts, who can provide real help and guidance so you can choose the right valve and stay on the right side of the law.

ConformstoISO15407-2standard,andIP65rated,theislandshavea modular sub-base assembly, with optional PIF’s (Push In Fittings) and a choice of DIN rail or for foot mounting, and soft seal or glandless valve technologies. Soft seals are most suitable for high flow rates, and glandless for long life. By combining both technologies in one valve island, optimum machine performance is guaranteed.

Custom configuration

You can quickly and easily configure your own Norgren Valve Island to meet your specific requirements, using the Norgren Valve Island Online Configuration Tool on the web (vi.norgren.com). This enables you to generate an enquiry form with a product configuration code, and create a detailed view and pneumatic circuit diagram, as well as providing overall dimensions, weights and a parts list.

Minimised downtime

As well as cutting installation time, Norgren Valve Islands can minimise downtime due to their long life characteristics. Permanent valve spool monitoring is incorporated, and combined evaluation is provided via the LEDs on the valve island. Convenient individual evaluation is provided through the PLC via the fieldbus.

Permanent monitoring also ensures that any short circuit in the solenoid is detected at an early stage. Faulty coils are no longer actuated, which prevents potential PCB failure. However, all other valves maintain their full function.

With a choice of four Norgren Valve Island Series at extremely competitive prices from Norgren Express, you can select, configure, order and install valves, faster and more easily than ever before.

Modular Valve Islands make it quicker and easier to install valves – in less space with less complicated wiring and tubing. And when they are norgren Valve Islands, the advantages are even greater.

We know customers will be queuing up for the latest valve series from norgren – because it has been specifically developed to meet customer demands. combining high quality with affordability and a rapid response service, the V50 series is value engineering at its best.

Our customers told us they wanted a valve which offered a high flow-to-cost ratio and highly reliable solenoid technology. But we went further and developed a whole series of valves to meet their needs. Ideal for applications in automation control, the V50 Series in-line valves offer more of what our customers want, but without pricing them out of reach.

For example, they offer competitive flow ratesoffrom270l/minto2480l/min.Theyoffer more performance, with a pressure range of up to 8 bar. And through innovative production processes combined with the highest quality materials, they offer all this for longer, being robust enough for a long and reliable working life.

Their long life and reliability is something you don’t just have to take Norgren’s word for, as key elements of the technology have

already been proven. Their solenoid technology has been successfully tried and tested in millions of applications, and the sealing system is the highly reliable and proven NBR Softseal Spool.

You might think that all this reliability, performance and longevity would mean a bigger, more costly valve. Yet in fact with the V50 series it is all available in an envelope size that’s reduced overall. So you get more powerful and reliable performance in a more compact size – and at a reasonable price.

flexibility

Suitable for lubricated or non-lubricated supplies – and all valve functions (3/2, 5/2 and 5/3) the V50 Series operates in ambient and fluid temperatures from –5°C to +50°C. It offers flexible inline and manifold

mounting options, and there’s a choice of manual overrides: either push, or turn to lock with a tool.

For further flexibility, the pilot system features an exchangeable solenoid for all standardvoltages–AC110V,220V,DC24Vand DC 12V.

So when you’re designing new systems, the V50 Series gives you more flexibility to get the design how you want it, confident that it will perform as you need it to – and your inventory is simplified too. You can even download 2D and 3D drawings with multiple CAD support, to make your design process easier with the V50 Series, at store.norgren.com.
