Norgren Directional Control Valves Applications
Directional Control Valves are essential components in industrial automation systems, as they control the flow of fluids and gases, and change the direction of motion in machines and equipment. They are widely used in a variety of industrial and commercial applications, from simple on-off control to precise flow regulation and pressure control.
- Pneumatics systems: Control the flow of compressed air in pneumatic systems, including actuators, cylinders, and other pneumatic components
- Hydraulic systems: Control the flow of fluid in hydraulic systems, including actuators, pumps, and other hydraulic components
- Machine tools: Control the movement of machine tools, including lathes, milling machines, and other industrial equipment
- Process control: Control the flow of liquids and gases in industrial process control systems, including chemical, oil and gas, food and beverage, and pharmaceutical industries
- Automotive and transportation: Control the flow of fluids and gases in automotive and transportation systems, including braking systems, power steering systems, and fuel systems
- Medical equipment: Control the flow of fluids and gases in medical equipment, including oxygen systems, anaesthesia machines, and dialysis machines
- HVAC systems: Control the flow of air and water in heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems
Directional Control Valves are versatile and reliable components that are critical to the functioning of many different types of systems and equipment. They are used in a wide range of applications, and their importance cannot be overstated.
Control Valve Terminology
Valve terminology can often be confusing, but understanding the basics can make specifying and selecting valves much easier.
Valve body and function
The terms 2/2, 3/2, etc are often associated with valves. The first number specifies the number of ports, or the number of connections in and out of the main part of the body, not including ports in the end caps. The second number identifies the number of positions the valve spool can occupy. For example, a 5/3 valve has 5 ports and 3 possible positions for the valve spool.
ISO standards
Each type of valve has a unique circuit diagram defined by an ISO standard. ISO also controls port numbering; as a general guide Port 1 is always the supply, even numbered ports are outlets and odd numbered ports are exhausts. The sequence ’12’ means Port 1 is connected to Port 2 and ’14’ means Port 1 is connected to Port 4.
Normally open or closed
The ‘normal’ refers to the function of the valve with no external influence acting on it. A normally closed (N/C) valve will block flow in its rest position, while a normally open (N/O) valve will allow flow. Note that this is the opposite of an electrical switch.
Valve operators
There are three main types of valve operators: manual, mechanical, and solenoid/air pilot. Manual operators are activated by a human, such as a push-button or pedal. Mechanical operators are activated by a machine, such as a plunger or roller lever. Solenoid and air pilot operators use electricity or air, respectively, to actuate the valve. The ISO standard covers symbols for all types of operators.
