Valves and valve systems according to standard

ISO 5599-1

Aventics ISO 5599-1 valves cover the full size range 1 to 4 of the standard. The programme includes the widely-used series 581 (5/2- and 5/3-way directional valves, 24 VDC), the safety-rated IS12-PD dual-valve series, and the high-temperature HV30 directional valve (110 VAC). The valve programme is complemented by sub-base plates (single connection plates, intermediate plates for separate air supply), end plates, and mechanical accessories such as valve bodies and spare parts. All sub-base plates are available with side and bottom port configurations.

How to choose ISO 5599-1

What matters when choosing: properties, comparison and typical applications.

Overview: series and sizes for ISO 5599-1

Series	Sizes	Switching functions	Notes
581	1, 2, 3, 4	5/2-DS, 5/3-CC/EC/PC, 5/2-DP/SR	Largest programme; 24 VDC standard
IS12-PD	1, 2	5/2-NC, 3/2 dual-valve	Safety function per EN ISO 13849; Cat. 3/PLd rated
HV30	-	5/2-way valve	High-temperature 110 VAC; for demanding environments

Sub-base plates and connection system

ISO 5599-1 sub-base plates are available with side-ported and bottom-ported connections. Intermediate plates for separate air supply (G 1/4 or G 1/2) allow isolated pressure zones within a valve island. End plates close off the island on both sides. Single connection plates allow individual standard valves to be used independently of an island assembly. All plates are directly compatible with series 581 and IS12; for HV30 the appropriate size sub-base should be verified before ordering.

Typical applications

Typical applications: General-purpose valve islands in machine and plant engineering (series 581, sizes 1-4); safety control systems for presses and guarding (IS12-PD, EN ISO 13849 Cat. 3/PLd); high-temperature environments such as drying ovens or paint booths (HV30, 110 VAC); replacement and retrofit procurement for systems with existing ISO 5599-1 sub-base plates from any manufacturer.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about ISO 5599-1

What are Aventics ISO 5599-1 valves and what industrial applications do they serve?

Aventics ISO 5599-1 valves are pneumatic directional control valves manufactured to the international ISO 5599-1 standard for mounting interfaces and port connections. These valves include 3/2-way and 5/2-way configurations from the Series 581 and IS12-PD dual valve systems, operating at 24VDC with standard G-threaded ports. Primary applications span automated manufacturing lines, packaging machinery, material handling systems, and process control equipment where standardized valve mounting and reliable pneumatic switching are essential for production efficiency.

What are the key technical selection criteria for Aventics ISO 5599-1 pneumatic valves?

Critical selection parameters for Aventics ISO 5599-1 valves include valve function configuration such as 3/2-way or 5/2-way operation, electrical supply voltage typically 24VDC, and size classification ranging from Size 1 through Size 4 for different flow requirements. The Series 581 valves offer multiple spring return options including CC (spring return), EC (external pilot), and PC (pressure return) configurations, while IS12-PD dual valves provide compact solutions for applications requiring two independent valve functions. Connection types include standard M12 electrical connectors and various pneumatic port configurations to match existing system requirements.

Which international standards and certifications apply to Aventics ISO 5599-1 valves?

Aventics ISO 5599-1 valves comply with the ISO 5599-1 international standard that specifies mounting interface dimensions, port locations, and connection requirements for pneumatic control valves. This standardization ensures interchangeability between different manufacturers and simplifies system design and maintenance. The valves typically meet additional European standards including EN 60947 for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear, and pressure equipment directives for safe operation in industrial pneumatic systems up to 10 bar working pressure with compressed air media.

What are the differences between Aventics Series 581 and IS12-PD valve variants?

The Aventics Series 581 valves are available in Size 1 through Size 4 configurations with 5/2-way and 5/3-way functions, featuring individual valve bodies suitable for single-point control applications. In contrast, the IS12-PD series represents dual valve systems that integrate two 3/2-way valves in a compact housing, enabling simultaneous control of two independent pneumatic circuits from a single mounting position. Series 581 valves offer higher flow rates for Size 4 applications, while IS12-PD dual valves optimize space utilization in control panels and manifold assemblies where multiple valve functions are required.

What installation requirements and system compatibility considerations apply to Aventics ISO 5599-1 valves?

Aventics ISO 5599-1 valves require mounting on standard ISO 5599-1 base plates or manifolds with precise 15mm bolt pattern spacing and standardized port connections. Electrical installation utilizes 24VDC supply voltage through M12 circular connectors or form A/B terminal configurations, ensuring compatibility with standard industrial control systems. Pneumatic connections accommodate compressed air at operating pressures up to 10 bar through G-threaded ports, with system integration requiring proper filtration and pressure regulation upstream of the valve installation to maintain optimal performance and service life.

What are the safety ratings and operating parameters for Aventics ISO 5599-1 pneumatic valves?

Aventics ISO 5599-1 valves operate safely within temperature ranges of -10°C to +60°C for standard versions, with high-temperature variants like the HV30 series extending operation to +80°C using 110VAC supply voltage. Standard operating pressure ranges from 2 to 10 bar with compressed air media, while electrical safety ratings include IP65 protection class for M12 connector versions ensuring dust and water resistance in industrial environments. The valves incorporate fail-safe spring return mechanisms and meet Category 3 safety requirements per EN ISO 13849 for pneumatic control applications requiring reliable emergency shutdown capability.

What maintenance schedule and service life expectations apply to Aventics ISO 5599-1 valves?

Aventics ISO 5599-1 valves require periodic inspection every 6 months including verification of switching response time, port leakage testing at operating pressure, and electrical connection integrity checks for M12 connectors. Typical service life exceeds 10 million switching cycles under normal compressed air conditions with proper filtration maintaining air quality to ISO 8573-1 Class 7.4.4 or better. Preventive maintenance includes annual replacement of sealing elements for critical applications, quarterly verification of supply pressure stability between 6-10 bar, and immediate replacement if switching time exceeds specification or internal leakage surpasses 0.1% of nominal flow rate.
