Bürkert | Solenoid Valves Typical pressure profile for opening and closing processes Opening and closing of a valve always has a temporary dynamic effect on the pressure conditions within a control system. The level of the change in pressure amplitude depends to a large degree on these physical parameters: static system pressure, hydrostatic pressure, pipe diameter, temperature, mass of the medium and the opening and closing response of the valve. While much is known about the physical facts, the opening and closing response of a valve is a variable that can hardly be calculated. However,...

Bürkert | Solenoid Valves Coil technology Single magnetic coils Solenoids have been in use for decades as simple, reliable and cost-effective valve actuators. Their function is to move the armatures or plungers in the valves without contact. Corresponding to the existing mains voltages, they are designed as DC or AC coils. Coils are also available with a frequency of 50 Hz and 60 Hz. The latter are used in solutions for the An enamelled copper wire wound on a coil form is the sim- North American market. plest of all coil types.

The coil is cast in polyamide or epoxy to protect it against Electrical energy is converted to a controlled magnetic force. Direct Acting Valve Anatomy damage and moisture. The coil temperature and ambient influences determine the material used for encapsulation. Plunger The plunger is a precision turned part made of magnetic steel. It is moved by the magnetic field generated in the coil. Diameter The diameter refers to the inner diameter of the valve seat. It is relevant for...

Bürkert | Solenoid Valves Direct-acting 2-way plunger valve Function: Electrical connection The main components of this valve type are a coil, a closing spring, a valve body cover and the valve body with the seat. Without current the path to the outlet is blocked (normally closed), since the closing spring, supported by the pressure of the medium, presses the plunger onto the valve Solenoid coil seat. If current flows through the coil, the latter generates a starting force, which pulls the plunger and the seal against the spring force and draws the medium upward. The channel is opened for...

Burkert | Solenoid Valves Function: The functioning principle of the direct-acting 3-way plunger valve depends on how the fittings are connected to the fluid system. As opposed to the 2-way plunger valve it has two valve seats and one return flow. If no electric voltage is present, a normally closed 3/2-way valve allows no passage from the pressure connection P to connection A (outlet), since a conical spring presses the plunger onto valve seat 1. At the same time A is directly connected to R (return flow) and valve seat 2 is opened. If the coil is energised the plunger is pulled in and...
