Why do Burkert Controller valves switch with a delay?
- EEbony TateAug 25, 2025
The Burkert Controller valves might switch with a delay due to several reasons. It could be due to an inadequate or no pressure supply, so design the pressure supply with the largest possible volume. For valves without auxiliary pilot air, ensure a minimum operating pressure of 3.0 bar. Insufficient pilot pressure build-up can also be the cause; with 5/2-way valves (CFH) and 2x3/2-way valves (CFD, normally open), operate the valve island with an external pilot pressure supply. Lastly, if the valves are not in the home position (de-energized) during pressure build-up, pressurize the valve block before switching the valves.
