The West Group introduce the new Vesta Compact range of 1/8" air-piloted and solenoid valves which offer increased flow rates, higher working frequencies and longer life in spite of reduced dimensions. A light, elastomer-coated alloy spool riding on acetal bearings, gives reduced inertia and friction. In practical terms, the valve offers a flow of 700 litres/minute and an operating frequency of 30 cycles per second.
Vesta Compact valves are suitable for both pipe thread and manifold mounting and can operate in ambient temperatures from -10*C to +80*C.
All solenoid valves feature manual over-ride and are rated to IP65.
The compact valves have compact prices to match and are stocked in both 5/2 and 5/3 versions.
