COOLANT VALVE

For instance, the introduction of built-in magnets has allowed automatic switches to be fitted directly to coolant valve modules. These switches can confirm whether or not the valve is in the open position. Users can elect to find modules in air-operated versions or those that run by way of external pilot solenoid motors.

Perhaps most importantly, they can opt for valves that normally remain open or closed. These valves are otherwise functionally identical, but the bias toward being open or shut is different. That gives installers the freedom to select a piece that would work best for their organization’s particular situation.

Accredited Coolant Valve Technology

You might be in a position where you have to exclusively purchase equipment that has been tested and authorized by outside organizations. Alternatively, there’s a chance that you could simply prefer it because of the safety factor among other things like the issue of durability. In either case, you’ll want to look into equipment that features both the CE marking as well the RoHS accreditation.

The CE marking indicates that a part conforms to the healthy, safety, and environmental regulations set forth by EEA standards organizations. Any RoHS compliant component is tested to ensure that it has low levels of toxic compounds like lead and cadmium. You also won’t find measurable quantities of mercury in components that carry this marking.

If that sounds like something you need perhaps because you’re working in food services or some other sensitive sector of the market, then look into coolant valves that feature these markings. You can find them both on the SGC221A-0515Y-1DZ valve, for instance.

At the same time, you’ll want to consider the use of pneumatic components in general for safety reasons. Installing a few coolant valves might be necessary to reduce the risk of dramatic failure.

Series SGC valves are designed to offer a service life that’s in excess of some 5 million cycles. They feature a special grease channel and dry bearing system that, along with the scraper and squeeze seal, allows this impressive feat to take place. That’s especially important for anyone who wants to make sure that their equipment is going to last over the long haul.

Keep in mind that pneumatic gear is often considered to be inherently safe anyway, largely by design. Compressed air is literally just air. While you don’t want to be exposed to a sudden powerful discharge of it there’s no real risk of contamination when working with it. Simply installing a few additional coolant valves might be all you need to get your system operating completely in spec and therefore safer than you might have ever imagined.

A number of other advantages are offered by the SGC line, which should prove especially attractive to those who have to work in unusual situations or need to perform routine manufacturing tasks under a great deal of physical stress.

Advanced Features Of Coolant Valves

With a fluid temperature that can run anywhere from -5°C all the way up to 60°C, modern SGC series coolant valves as well as several other designs can stand up to a vast majority of manufacturing environments. Operating pressures can approach up to 1.6 MPa. This should further help them adapt to nearly any situation regardless of just how demanding it has to be due to the specific type of manufacturing processes that you’re working with.

Those who have to manage these by way of outside actuators will be pleased to know that they consume just around 0.35 watts per hour, which is a nearly unmeasurable amount of power. Likewise, that would take very little off of the pressure level of a pneumatic circuit if it were instead powered by compressed air. Companies that are concerned with sustainability and the amount of energy they’re consuming can trust that this won’t go over the vast majority of the points that they’re attempting to hit.

That being said, the most important features might be in the realm of compatibility. These parts are offered in port sizes of ⅜” to a full inch, so they should be more than capable of interfacing with any of the equipment that you already have attached to your installation.

On top of this, there is any number of other pieces available that should serve as drop-in replacements for anything that might have worn out. Once you have everything in place, you won’t have to worry about necessitating replacement anytime soon either as durability features have greatly increased the lifespan of other components as well as coolant valves themselves. Keep in mind that coolant valves can, in turn, increase the longevity of other things you might be using.
