Numatics has introduced a new 11mm miniature directional control valve. The valve is designed for applications requiring compact size, high flow capability, and energy savings.

The new 501 Series valve delivers up to two times greater flow than previous models. Customers can achieve the flow of a 15 mm to 20 mm valve from a compact package of only 11mm, saving space, cost, and energy in their machine designs. In addition, no other valve in its class offers such a broad range of pressure regulator, pressure shut-off, and exhaust flow control accessories.

The new sub-base mounted valve is well suited for in-panel valve piloting applications. Its high flow rate, compact size, and optional mounting plate enable efficient use of cabinet space. A dual three-way version enables the placement of two, three-way valves in the same footprint of a four-way valve.

In addition, the 501 series offers an affordable electronics platform, this new node platform allows the use of a fieldbus network to control the valve manifold.  The 580 platform incorporates a plain-language digital display and diagnostics that indicate status for easy configuration and commissioning.

The 501 Series directional control valve and 580 electronics platform are ideal for applications in the life science, food and beverage, high-technology, and light packaging equipment industries.
