Burkert Fluid Control Systems type 6524 dual pneumatic valve

A dual pneumatic valve designed for space-poor machinery and process control environments has been released by Bürkert. The Type 6524 Dual 3/2-way pneumatic valve combines the functionality of two complete 3/2-way valves in the space of one.

Effectively halving the size of an assembled valve bank, the Type 6524 pneumatic valve may be used in standalone or assembled valve bank configuration. It was designed for OEM manufacturers seeking to minimise space allocation and highly automated processing operations with large valve banks.

The compact pneumatic valve is 10 mm wide and has low power consumption. Equipped with manual override as a standard feature, the valve is engineered with flipper technology to allow high-pressure switching at a rate of 1000 cycles/minute.

A valve bank assembled with the Type 6524 Dual 3/2 pneumatic valve is almost half the size of a comparable valve bank, which in turn has significant impact on the panel cabinet required and total space utilised. For a recent project, Bürkert engineers were able to reduce the valve bank length from 479 mm to 270 mm by using the Type 6524 Dual 3/2 pneumatic valve. This cost-neutral option allowed the valve bank to be mounted in a 300 mm² cabinet rather than a 600 mm² stainless steel cabinet, delivering 75% space saving and approximately 50% in cabinet costs.
