The theme of flexibility is further underpinned when it comes to the stackable variants.  These allow the assembly of several valves in one stack. For customers this means that installation can be simplified as only one tube is needed for pressure supply and exhaust. The PVL-B2 offers the customer a solution for both AC and DC voltages, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial projects.  

Many customer applications demand compact solutions due to decreased installation space; the design of the PVL-B2 series has been optimised to minimise the footprint. This ensures customers can reduce the size of the cabinets into which the valve is being installed. For embedded mobile applications the valve is a suitable fit as it has been engineered from lightweight materials to ensure that 'mobile can remain mobile'.  

Building further on the philosophy of in-built flexibility, the new valve series features two electrical pilot options depending on the installed environment. For non-aggressive environments the valves can be specified with a 10mm 24VDC IP40 clip connection and for more aggressive installations a 15mm DIN C IP65 connection with multiple voltage options can be selected 

The PVL-B2 series can be stacked and mixed into a stacking valve island, and supply is connected at either a single or dual head/tail set, while two common exhaust galleries are provided. For optimised valve flow, three porting options are available to suit cylinders up to 50mm bore; either 6 or 8mm instant tube fittings or G1/8in threaded pipe. Cylinder speeds in excess of 1m/s can be achieved using the valves, depending on factors such as cylinder bore and port size, and tubing size.
