Safety valves

Product catalog summary
Overview: This document outlines the technical specifications and configurations for safety valves compliant with the European Machine Directive 2006/42/CE. These valves, equipped with inductive position or proximity switches, are designed to enhance machine safety by cutting off hydraulic power during emergencies.
Specifications: The safety valves are CE marked and TÜV certified, available in direct, pilot-operated, and cartridge forms. They maintain the same hydraulic and electric characteristics as standard products and are used in presses to shut off fluid energy during emergencies or when a machine gate is opened.
Switch Types: Two switch versions are available: FI inductive proximity switch and FV inductive position switch with double contacts, which monitor the valve's status.
Valve Models: Various models of direct operated solenoid valves, such as DHI, DHE, DKE, and DPH series, are detailed, including solenoid types, configurations, and spool types. Intermediate elements and cartridges like LIFI and LIDA are also covered.
Configurations and Spools: Configurations and spool representations are provided according to ISO 1219-1, detailing solenoid configurations and spool types for different valve models.
Model Codes: Detailed model codes for direct and pilot operated safety solenoid valves are included, with information on solenoid types, valve sizes, configurations, spool types, and options.
Special Features: Special shaped spools are highlighted for reducing water-hammer shocks and limiting internal leakages, along with options for solenoid mounting positions and pilot pressure configurations.
Cartridge Execution: Descriptions of safety valves in cartridge execution include intermediate elements with poppet position detectors, specifying poppet types, spring cracking pressures, and hydraulic symbols.
Electrical and Hydraulic Characteristics: Electrical features such as voltage codes, power consumption, and coil characteristics are outlined, along with hydraulic characteristics like pressure ratings, fluid types, and contamination classes.
Installation and Environmental Conditions: Information on installation positions, ambient temperature ranges, and fluid specifications is provided to ensure proper application and maintenance of the safety valves.

Safety valves-1

Safety valves direct, pilot operated and cartridge execution with inductive position or proximity switches conforming to Machine Directive 2006/42/CE Safety valves are designed to fulfil the safety criteria imposed to machine manufacturers by the European Machine Directive. They are CE marked and certified by TÜV, in accordance with the technical safety requirements provided in the Machine Directive 2006/42/CE but not included in the safety components of annex IV. In addition to the normal hydraulic function they are equipped with inductive or proximity switches; with the on/off switch indicates the position of the spool/poppet of the valve. These valves are normally used to cut off the hydraulic power line in case of emergency condition, thus avoiding dangerous movements of the machines actuators. By checking the switch status, corresponding to “open” or “intercepted” hydraulic line, the machine controller can perform the safety function. Two versions are available: - FI inductive proximity switch ቢ; - FV inductive position switch (double contacts) ባ; see section 14 for technical characteristics. Safety valves are available in direct, piloted and cartridge executions, with same hydraulic and electric characteristics of standard products from which they are derived. Typical application is on vertical and horizontal presses to shut off the fluid energy to one or more actuators as a consequence of the opening of the machine “gate” or as a consequence of an “emergency stop” command.

For inductive switches type FI/NC the behaviour is opposite (high level signal instead of low level signal and viceversa) (1) According the criteria of safety specifications, the spool position signal must change its status during the intermediate position between two hydraulic configurations.
