Parker Hannifin Introduces a New Extension to the Moduflex Pneumatic Valve System



Richland, MI, October 20, 2004 -- Parker Hannifin (NYSE:PH) introduces a 25-Pin, D-Sub module to the Moduflex Pneumatic Valve System. This new V-Series module allows for the use of industry standard 25-Pin cables in IP40 applications while addressing up to 19 addresses.

The Parker Moduflex Valve System is based upon adaptability and flexibility. Users select from two standard valve sizes and assemble dual 3/2, 4/2, and 4/3 configurations in one island to meet their application requirements (10mm to 100 mm bore sizes.) The single tie-rod connection makes it easy to add or delete valves, change a valve's function, tubing size, or piloting in minutes.

The Parker Moduflex Valve System consists of two valve sizes – 0.32Cv and 0.80Cv. Both have a short 2.5 mm stroke for quick response time, a large 14 mm piston diameter for greater shift force even with dry contaminated air, and a lapped ceramic plate and slide arrangement for total sealing and long life.

Single stand-alone valves can be employed for remote applications, individually wired valves in small islands can be mounted close to actuators, and larger valves can utilize Parker's Valvetronic system of self-addressing integrated connectors. The Moduflex system is offered with DeviceNet, Profibus-DP, Interbus-S, ASI, and CANopen protocol.
