A.1.3 Pneumatics
Solenoid valves
Operating/pilot medium Compressed air to ISO 8573-1:2010 [7:4:4]
Note about the operating/pilot medium Lubricated operation possible (in which case lubricated
operation will always be required)
Design Piston slide valve
Polymer poppet valve
Manual override Detenting or non-detenting
Operating pressure/pilot pressure
All valves at connection (1) The pressure at port (1) must be within the required control
pressure range of the valves
(è Diagrams Fig. A.1 … Fig. A.6, max. 8 bar).
