SY5000, Configurations for ISO13849-2 Safe Circuits

The New SY series has several configurations that can be used to create safe functionality that meets ISO13849-2 requirements.  This includes monostable valves with spring return spools, bi-stable valves with detent mechanism, and units for controlling pilot air to portions of the manifold to create machine zones within a common manifold

  • Reliably returns to safe state in case of power loss
  • Validated per ISO13849-2 to basic and well-tried safety principles
  • Internal and external pilot models available
SY5100-X30, 5 port Solenoid Valve with Spool Detection
The SY5100-X30 is a 5-port single solenoid valve with spool position detection and a spring return spool.  The return spring assures the return of the valve to the safe state when de-energized without requiring pilot pressure.  The built-in switch provides an ON signal when the valve is de-energized in its safe state and an OFF…
SY3/5/7000-X350, 5 Port Solenoid Valve with Spring Return Spool
The New SY series has several configurations that can be used to create safe functionality that meets ISO13849-2 requirements.  This includes monostable valves with spring return spools, bi-stable valves with detent mechanism, and units for controlling pilot air to portions of the manifold to create machine zones within a common manifold
SY3/5/7000-X25, Bi-stable 5-Port Solenoid Valve with Detent
The SY3/5/7000-X25 is a bi-stable 5-port solenoid valve with detent.  In the case of pressure loss, these valves remain mechanically held in the last position without relying on friction to resist shock or vibration.
SY5000, Pilot Air Control Valves
Pilot air control valves are used to split a manifold into separate pneumatically controlled zones.  The pilot air control valve controls the pilot air supply for the downstream valves up to the next zone.  The zone is taken in/out of service by energizing/de-energizing the control valve.  Splitting a manifold into zones can permit a single…
