2.2.3. Direct-acting solenoid <strong>valves</strong>:<br />

pivoted-armature <strong>valves</strong><br />

Pivoted-armature <strong>valves</strong> are used with<br />

a 3/2-way function and in a 2/2-way<br />

version. On the 3/2-way Bürkert pivoted-armature<br />

valve (e.g. Type 0330,<br />

see Figure 3), all three ports are accommodated<br />

in the valve body and an<br />

isolating diaphragm prevents fluid from<br />

entering the solenoid system’s armature<br />

chamber. The pivoted-armature<br />

<strong>valves</strong> are equipped with a manual<br />

override function (standard) and can<br />

also be optionally equipped with a visual<br />

position indicator or an electrical<br />

feedback indicator.<br />

Advantages:<br />

■ Excellent reliability<br />

■ All three fluid ports in one plane<br />

■ Media separation on standard<br />

design<br />

■ Long service life<br />

■ AC, DC and UC versions available<br />

■ Visual or electrical position feedback<br />

optionally available<br />

■ Also available as explosion-proof<br />

version<br />

■ Conditionally suitable for aggressive<br />

media as well<br />

Potential disadvantages:<br />

■ Replacement part exchange<br />

difficult<br />

■ Cost-intensive<br />

2.2.4. Direct-acting solenoid <strong>valves</strong>:<br />

3/2-way rocker valve<br />

The Bürkert rocker solenoid valve<br />

(Bürkert Types 6104 and 6106) is designed<br />

for operation with compressed<br />

air; all three ports are also accommodated<br />

in the valve body. The valve is<br />

also frequently used as a pilot valve<br />

for pneumatic <strong>valves</strong>. A rocker with<br />

sealing seats alternately closes valve<br />

seats 1 for the air supply (fluid port P)<br />

and 2 for venting (fluid port R) of the<br />

outlet channel (fluid port A) (see Figure<br />

4), in a similar manner to the pivoted-armature<br />

valve. <strong>Solenoid</strong> <strong>valves</strong><br />

with rocker technology are available<br />

with or without isolating diaphragm.<br />

Advantages:<br />

■ Low mass of moving parts<br />

■ 3 fluid ports in one plane<br />

■ Media-separated version available<br />

■ Economical<br />

■ Very long service life<br />

■ Compact design<br />

■ Low coil power<br />

■ High coil system efficiency<br />

■ Also available as explosion-proof<br />

version (intrinsically safe).<br />
