Pinch valve, valve housing from high performance plastic

Product catalog summary

Product Overview
The document provides technical information about the A.u.K. Müller Series 16.003.625 pinch valve, which is a 2/2-way normally open valve designed for use in various applications such as dosage systems, laboratory analysis, medical equipment, and vending machines. The valve is constructed with a high-performance plastic housing, offering a cost-effective and lightweight alternative to aluminum housing valves.

Specifications

Valve Type: Pinch valve, 2/2-way solenoid, direct acting, normally open.
Materials: Valve body and fixing flange made of PA 6, glass fiber reinforced; plunger guide, plunger, and spring made of stainless steel; coil coating made of PBT.
Operating Conditions: Suitable for media temperatures up to 90°C (194°F) and ambient temperatures from -10°C to +50°C (14°F to 122°F).
Pressure: Operates at 0 - 1.5 bar (0 - 21.76 psi), depending on the tube used.
Nominal Voltage: 24 V DC with a voltage tolerance of +10%/-15%.
Duty Cycle: 80% (4 minutes ON / 1 minute OFF).
Clamping Force: Between 10 N (open) and 30 N (closed) at 400 mA.
Protection Type: IP 00 for coil connections, with options for IP 65 and IP 68.
Insulation Class: F according to EN 60730.

Design and Functionality
The valve controls the flow of the medium by pinching the inserted tube, eliminating the need for a traditional valve seat and membrane. This design reduces turbulence and prevents the accumulation of medium or dirt in the valve housing, making it suitable for hygienic applications. The valve can be mounted in any position and is compatible with flexible tubes with specific dimensions and shore hardness.

Applications and Advantages

High reliability and runtime due to the solenoid coil design.
Easy tube replacement and chemical resistance depending on the tube material.
Flow can occur in either direction, and the coil can be fixed in four 90° positions.
Particularly suitable for applications requiring high hygiene standards.

Technical Data

Coil Types: MS 06, MS 24, MS 25 with varying protection types and classes.
Nominal Power Consumption: 9.5 W.
Tube Specifications: Inner diameter (I.D.) 3.0 mm, outer diameter (O.D.) 5.0 mm, wall thickness 1.0 mm, shore hardness 60°±5°.

Product Information Pinch valve, valve housing from high performance plastic 2/2-way, NO (normally open) A.u.K. Müller Solenoid valves Control valves Special valves and systems A. u. K. Müller GmbH & Co. KG Dresdener Str. 162 D-40595 Düsseldorf/Germany e-mail: [email protected] Internet: www.akmueller.de The valve with a valve housing made of a high-performance plastic is an inexpensive alternative to the valve types 16.003.225 with aluminum housing. In addition the valve offers the advantage of smaller height and lower weight. Typical Performance Curve Silicone tube 3x1; 60°Sh; length 30 cm (squeezed in the middle) Medium: Water at 25°C; Free Outlet The flow of the medium is controlled by pinching the inserted tube. This design avoids using the traditional valve seat and membrane which can cause turbulence in the fluid flow and create dead areas in the valve housing where medium or dirt can collect. The valve is particularly suitable for applications where a high level of hygiene is required. The pinch valves can be used in any mounting position. The resistance against media temperature and chemicals depends on the selected material of the tube. medium completely separated from valve parts chemical resistance depends on the material of the tube in use tube can easily be changed no dead areas as in usual valve body flow in either direction coil can be fixed in 4 x 90 ° positions function provides high reliability and run time dosage systems laboratory analysis medical equipment vending machines The 16.003.625 pinch valve series is normally closed in operation and equipped with a 9,5 W solenoid coil. Therefore, it exhibits a clamping force between 10 and 30 N per opening condition and is applicable for flexible tubes with a wall thickness of 1 mm with an outer diameter up to 5,0 mm and a shore hardness of 60°. With these tubing specifications, pressures up to 1,5 bar can be switched. © copyright A.u.K. Müller, technical changes reserved
