Valve systems discontinued series

Aventics discontinued valve systems represent end-of-life pneumatic control solutions that maintain full functionality while being phased out from active production lines. These systems find primary application in automotive manufacturing for assembly line control, packaging machinery for precise timing operations, and material handling systems requiring reliable directional control. Food processing plants utilize these valve systems for pneumatic actuator control due to their robust construction and proven reliability in industrial environments. The systems serve critical functions in production lines where retrofitting with newer technology would be cost-prohibitive or technically complex.

Aventics discontinued valve systems typically operate within pressure ranges of 2 to 10 bar with standard port configurations including G1/8, G1/4, and M5 threaded connections depending on the specific model series. The selection criteria focus on flow coefficient values ranging from 0.8 to 2.4 Cv for optimal performance matching with downstream actuators. Critical parameters include response times under 50 milliseconds for high-speed applications and maximum operating frequencies up to 10 Hz for continuous cycling operations. Models like the 0820215114 and 0820215113 series offer different mounting options and electrical connection types to accommodate various installation requirements in existing pneumatic systems.

Aventics discontinued valve systems comply with ISO 5599 standards for pneumatic valve interface dimensions and ISO 4414 for general pneumatic system safety requirements. The electrical components meet IEC 60947-5-1 standards for low-voltage switchgear and control equipment, ensuring compatibility with industrial control systems. ATEX certification applies to specific models designed for explosive atmosphere applications in Zone 1 and Zone 2 environments. These systems also conform to EMC directive 2014/30/EU for electromagnetic compatibility and the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC for integration into industrial machinery. CE marking indicates conformity with all applicable European safety and performance standards.

The primary differences between Aventics discontinued valve system variants lie in their electrical connection types and mounting configurations, with models 0820215114 featuring cable connections while 0820215113 utilizes plug-in connectors for faster maintenance access. Flow characteristics vary between models, with some variants optimized for higher flow rates up to 2400 l/min at 6 bar operating pressure. Port configurations differ across the series, with certain models offering NPT threading while others provide metric M5 or G1/4 connections for different regional installation standards. Coil voltage options range from 24V DC to 230V AC across the variant lineup, allowing integration with various control system architectures.

Aventics discontinued valve systems require mounting on standard DIN rails or direct panel mounting with M4 or M5 fasteners depending on the valve body configuration. The systems demand clean, dry compressed air with filtration to 40 microns and maximum moisture content of 50mg/m³ to prevent internal component damage. Electrical connections must accommodate coil power consumption ranging from 2.5 to 8 watts with inrush currents up to 1.5 times the holding current. Installation clearances of minimum 10mm on all sides ensure adequate heat dissipation and service access. These systems integrate with existing ISO 5599 manifold systems and require supply pressure regulation within ±5% for consistent switching performance.

Aventics discontinued valve systems feature IP65 ingress protection rating ensuring complete dust protection and water jet resistance for harsh industrial environments. Operating temperature ranges span from -10°C to +60°C for standard models with extended temperature variants capable of -20°C to +80°C operation in extreme conditions. The systems maintain safety integrity level SIL 1 according to IEC 61508 for basic safety functions in automated machinery. Maximum operating pressure reaches 10 bar with proof pressure testing to 15 bar during manufacturing quality control. Electrical safety complies with EN 60947-5-1 standards with insulation resistance exceeding 10 MΩ at 500V DC test voltage for reliable operation in industrial control circuits.

Aventics discontinued valve systems require preventive maintenance every 1 million cycles or annually, whichever occurs first, including coil resistance measurement and seal inspection for optimal performance. Expected service life reaches 10 million switching cycles under normal operating conditions at 6 bar system pressure with proper air preparation and filtration. Critical inspection points include checking for air leakage exceeding 3 l/min at 6 bar nominal pressure and verifying switching response times remain within 50 milliseconds specification. Replacement of seal kits becomes necessary after approximately 5 million cycles or when internal leakage exceeds manufacturer tolerance limits. Proper documentation of cycle counts and pressure testing results ensures predictive maintenance scheduling and prevents unexpected system failures in critical production applications.
