Product Description
The Festo VYKC is a media separated solenoid valve suitable for handling gases and liquids in dosing, filling, mixing, cleaning, and distributing applications . Its precise control and intelligent switching make it a flexible all-round solution, featuring flexible nominal widths (1.2 mm, 1.6 mm, or 2.0 mm) within the same compact 16 mm valve size while offering high-quality, FDA-listed materials for aggressive media compatibility .
Key Features & Advantages:
Flexible Nominal Widths in Same 16 mm Size: Available with nominal widths of 1.2 mm, 1.6 mm, or 2.0 mm within an identical 16 mm valve footprint, providing design flexibility for different flow requirements without changing mounting or plumbing .
High-Quality Materials for Aggressive Media: Constructed with FDA-listed high-performance materials (PEEK for body, plus EPDM, FKM, and FFKM sealing options) that withstand even aggressive chemicals and corrosive fluids while meeting food-contact safety standards .
Minimised Heating Effect with Intelligent Holding Current Reduction: Features integrated intelligent holding current reduction (1.4 W holding phase, 5.5 W inrush phase) that minimises heat input into sensitive media, preventing thermal degradation of biological or chemical fluids .
Visual Feedback via Two LEDs: Two integrated LEDs provide clear visual status indication, simplifying commissioning, troubleshooting, and operational monitoring without external tools .
Low Energy Consumption with Efficient Actuation: Direct-acting rocker valve design with diaphragm seal and soft sealing principle achieves very low power consumption (minimum 0.04 W with optional external module), reducing operational costs and enabling battery-powered applications .
