AVENTICS
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about AVENTICS from 3G Electric.
What are the key differences between the AVENTICS L1 and L2 series directional control valves?
The AVENTICS L1 series typically offers four-way/two-position valves with single solenoid and spring return, suitable for basic on/off control. The L2 series includes both four-way/two-position and five-way/three-position configurations, with options for double solenoid and solenoid return, providing more flexibility for applications requiring mid-position exhaust or closed center. L2 valves also have a higher port count (5 ports) compared to L1 (4 ports), allowing for more complex pneumatic circuits.
Does the AVENTICS CERAM series valve require external pilot air?
The AVENTICS CERAM series valve, such as model R432006076, features an internal pilot. This means it uses the supply air pressure to actuate the solenoid pilot, eliminating the need for an external pilot air source. The internal pilot is suitable for applications where supply pressure is within the valve's rated range, simplifying installation and reducing piping requirements.
What is the function of the detent mechanism in the AVENTICS CERAM series valve?
The detent mechanism in the AVENTICS CERAM series valve (e.g., R432006076) holds the valve spool in its last actuated position after the solenoid is de-energized. This is useful for maintaining a specific flow path without continuous power, such as in fail-safe or memory applications. The detent is non-locking, meaning it can be overridden by the opposite solenoid or manual override.
Can the AVENTICS XV manifold sub-base accommodate multiple valve sizes?
The AVENTICS XV manifold sub-base, such as model A572A0000001224, is designed for the XV03 series valves. It provides side port locations for pneumatic connections and is intended for use with specific valve sizes within the XV family. For compatibility with other series like L1 or L2, separate manifold bases or adapter plates may be required.
What voltage options are available for AVENTICS solenoid air control valves?
AVENTICS solenoid air control valves are available in common industrial voltages, including 24V DC and 110V AC, as seen in models like the 581 series (24V DC) and L1 series (110-120V AC). Other voltage options may be available depending on the specific series and part number. Always verify the coil voltage rating on the product label or datasheet before installation.
