The ASCO™ 316 Series is a line of high-flow, general-purpose 3-way (3/2) solenoid valves engineered for reliability in demanding industrial applications. Its primary function is the pilot control of large valve actuators, enabling the rapid opening and closing of major process control valves. The valve’s internal pilot diaphragm and poppet design ensure consistent performance with compressed air, inert gases, and water. The resilient seat guarantees tight shut-off, making it a robust and dependable choice for critical automation tasks.
Core Applications:
This valve is ideally suited for the directional control of single-acting pneumatic actuators or cylinders. It is commonly employed across various industries for automated shut-off and control functions in systems handling air, inert gases, and liquids.
Key Features & Benefits:
High Flow Capacity: Designed to deliver substantial flow rates, making it effective for quickly actuating large actuators.
Low Power Consumption: Features a one-piece molded solenoid with an efficient coil sleeve and special low-wattage coil, ideal for compatibility with PLCs in factory automation.
Versatile Construction Options: Available with brass bodies for general service or stainless steel bodies for corrosive atmospheres. Both versions offer models capable of zero-pressure start.
Intrinsic Safety Options: Specific models are designed for installation in intrinsically safe (IS) or non-incendive field wiring (NIFW) areas, providing solutions for hazardous locations.
Global Compliance: The series offers a complete range of solenoid coil options with worldwide certifications, simplifying procurement for international projects.
