Mini-solenoid valve boasts low energy
consumption
The new Asco Joucomatic 302 Series mini-solenoid valve offers the lowest energy consumption on the market, at just 0.5W for a flow rate of 11 litre/minute
The new Asco Joucomatic 302 Series mini-solenoid valve offers the lowest energy consumption on the market, at just 0.5W for a flow rate of 11 litre/minute Designed for use in the medical, automation and process control sector, the 15mm mini-solenoid valve offers users the benefits of IP67 protection for high integrity operation in aggressive environments, and the option of an intrinsically safe 'ia' version for use in areas where combustible gas/dust pose a continuous danger

Correct valve sizing in process applications
A discussion on the correct sizing of valves in process industry operations, which is essential for precision, quality and safety: oversizing is as bad in its effects as undersizing!
The 302 Series incorporates an IXEF body and PET spool designed as a monobloc assembly, which guarantees no rotation of the valve spool.
This combination ensures that the 302 is a robust unit with a long service life (100 million cycles).
The valves suitability for automation use is also enhanced by a 'lighter-than-light' specification, including integrated LEDs and electrical protection, which facilitates integration directly into equipment and machines and also into robotic systems.
The 302 Series design with its CNOMO mounting to standard E06.36.120N offers users the flexibility of several operating configurations.
Mounted on a sub-base for direct control of small-diameter cylinders, fast and simple pneumatic connection is assured - whether single or multiple valves are employed - by a new modular aluminium base.
Mounted on Asco Joucomatic Series 304 electropneumatic interfaces flow rates up to 154 litre/min can be acheived.
The valve can be integrated directly into remote valve actuators (with a maximum volume of 50cm3) for piloting operations or controlling pressure-operating valves.
Or it can be combined with an Asco Joucomatic manifold, whether standardised or not.
All of these operating configurations benefit from the facility for two methods of pneumatic connection: a CNOMO pneumatic interface - on the same side or opposite side to electrical connections (M12 or flying leads).
Depending on the requirements of each specific application, the user can choose the appropriate electrical connection and level of protection - the 302 is the only mini-solenoid valve on the market offering IP67 protection for perfectly safe operation in aggressive environments.
For more general applications, an IP65 rated version is also available. Request a free brochure from ASCO Joucomatic ...
