Pneumatic Valve ProductsCompact Parker Valve Offers High Flow and Preferred Connectivity  The Pneumatics Division of Parker Hannifin announces the release of its new Isys Micro Valve, a compact valve manifold offering high flow and Preferred Connectivity to Rockwell LogixTM Architecture. Parker designed the Isys Micro using an innovative back-to-back valve mounting style with a 42mm wide manifold that holds 4 valves and offers a 0.35 Cv flow. For easy installation, Parker sells the Isys Micro complete with all valves, fittings and mufflers. The valve is also Fieldbus ready, making it ideal for centralized or decentralized applications in markets such as packaging, process control, alternative energy systems, semiconductor, automated assembly, dairy systems, fixturing systems, and water treatment systems."This Isys Micro valve design offers functionality for a range of machine configurations," explains Chris Landis, Product Sales Manager, Pneumatics Division, Parker Hannifin. "The flexibility of this valve means companies can use 25 Pin D-sub connections for smaller machines or employ simple node connections for larger machines using fieldbus. ...More >> Parker Makes Air Control EZ with High Performance Valve  The Pneumatics Division of Parker Hannifin announces the release of its new EZ Inline Air Control Valve, a high flow, fast response 3- or 4-way valve that offers long cycle life and exceptional durability due to its balanced spool design and Parker's Wear Compensation System. The EZ Inline is a compact solution available in 16mm, 19mm and 26mm with flow from 0.8Cv to 2.4Cv. Parker streamlined the design of the EZ Inline and reduced costs by allowing customers to choose only the features and options they need for their application. "The EZ Inline is exactly what its name proclaims - easy for ordering, installation and maintenance," explains Anna Stjarnvy, Product Sales Manager for Parker Hannifin's Pneumatics Division. "OEMs with global sourcing and assembly needs, as well as clients in industrial markets require an air valve choice that is effortless and dependable. ...More >>Sizing Pneumatic Cylinders and ISO valves By Chris Landis, Valve/Vacuum Product Manager, Parker Hannifin Corporation Look at flow coefficient, cylinder bore, and rod speed to best match pneumatic actuators and valves. In recent years, much discussion has centered on Cv ratings (also known as capacity coefficients or flow factors) and whether or not American, European, and Japanese pneumatic-valve manufacturers rate valves the same way. With ANSI/NFPA, ISO, and JIS organizations all specifying slightly different test methods and rating criteria, the confusion is understandable. ...More >> Are You Taking Full Advantage of Pneumatic Valve Technology? By Chris Landis Put advancements in pneumatic valves to work for your organization Pneumatic valves have come a long way since the development of the compressor over a century ago. Starting with large manual and mechanical valves, they migrated to individually wired electric solenoids and ultimately ended up with plug-into-the-base electronics allowing for a single multi-pin connector or fieldbus installation. Today's valves are smaller, faster and more advanced than their predecessors and offer many advantages that can be easily overlooked. With advancements in ISO valve standardization, collective wiring solutions and diagnostic capabilities, both end users and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are seeing significant cost reductions resulting from multi-vendor support, wiring simplification and decreased machine downtime. ...More >> XM Series Direct Acting Valve Rated for Mobile Voltage Operation Available from Parker Pneumatic  Parker Hannifin Corporation offers the XM Series Inline Valve for multiple industrial applications in a variety of pneumatic markets.
