Solenoid Operation In-Line Isolation Valves

electronically switched
Low energy consumption
in the ‘hold open’ position
Enclosure rating to IP55
Grease free vacuum
MTTF up to 500000 cycles
The Edwards IPVEK series valves are compact, light-weight electromagnetic vacuum valves suitable for use in vacuum pipeline systems down to 1x10⁻⁹mbar. A double wound coil combined with an electronic switching circuit ensures low energy consumption, low operating temperatures and extended operating life.
Bellows sealed, the IPVEK solenoid operated in-line valves are available with either aluminium (A) or stainless steel (S) bodies, with an overall MTTF of up to 500,000 cycles.
