Parker Hannifin Viking Lite range of pneumatic directional control valves

The Viking Lite range of pneumatic directional control valves is suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. The range can be specified in three different port sizes namely G1/8, G1/4 and G3/8 and offers compact installation dimensions especially beneficial for space-critical applications.

The range features dynamic bidirectional spool seals. Suitable for pressures up to 10 bar in ambient temperatures of -10 to + 50°C, underpressure radial expansion of the seal occurs to maintain sealing contact with the valve bore. Delivering more than 10 million operating cycles, Viking Lite is claimed to offer short changeover times and low changeover pressure. This means that general maintenance and service time can be considerably reduced.

Manufactured from anodised aluminium, the range offers a valve with good corrosion resistance in a smooth design. This feature eliminates dirt-collecting pockets, thus making the valves suitable for a wide variety of environments. Optimised to comply with the requirements for component reliability in accordance with the EU machinery directive standards EN292-2 and EN983, the range is designed for use with or without supplementary lubrication.

In addition to single valve installation the valves can be installed onto manifolds so that there is a common supply and manifolded exhausts. The manifold bar option has common ducts for ports 1, 3 and 5, which give simple time saving, easy service and installation.
