Pneumatic Ball Valves with Accessories: Complete Automation Solutions
Complete Control Packages for Your System
A pneumatic ball valve forms the core of many industrial control systems, but it's only when combined with specialised accessory components that their full automation potential is realised. At FERGO, we don't just supply high-quality pneumatic ball valves; we provide the complete accessory suite for seamless integration into your systems. The limit switch box (also known as a position transmitter or solenoid valve manifold) is a crucial element here, as it electrically signals the precise valve position – whether open or closed – enabling accurate process monitoring. This feedback is indispensable for modern PLC control systems, which rely on real-time information about the status of their components.
Precise Control via Solenoid Valves & NAMUR Valves
The actuation of your pneumatic ball valve is efficiently handled by solenoid valves, which electrically control the compressed air flow to the actuator. NAMUR valves are particularly practical here – a standardised design specifically developed for direct mounting onto actuators with a NAMUR interface according to DIN ISO 5211. This standardised connection makes installation extremely simple and space-saving. The combination of a pneumatic ball valve, a NAMUR solenoid valve, and a limit switch box forms a compact, ready-to-use functional unit. For more complex switching tasks, 3/2-way, 5/2-way, and 5/3-way solenoid valves are available, offering various switching functions and positions.
Enhanced Functions and Interfaces
For even more comprehensive control and monitoring, we offer advanced components. Solenoid valves with various port sizes and operating voltages (24V DC, 230V AC) ensure compatibility with your existing system. Pneumatic cylinders complement our portfolio for linear actuation tasks. The limit switches can be configured according to requirements as mechanical proximity switches, inductive sensors, or optical sensors, offering different switching functions and contact types (Normally Open / Normally Closed). For manual operation during maintenance or in the event of a power failure, emergency actuators and manual overrides are available for many of our ball valves.
Advantages of a Complete Automation Solution
Integrating all components into a turnkey system offers significant advantages: Standardised interfaces eliminate complex custom designs and adjustments, significantly reducing installation time. The compact design saves valuable space in your control cabinets or machinery. Reliable position feedback from the limit switch box enhances plant safety and enables precise process sequences. Furthermore, by ensuring all components are perfectly matched, we guarantee optimal performance and a long service life for the entire unit.
