Design Features & Benefits
Precision Performance
The N15 Series delivers exceptional control accuracy with ±1% F.S. linearity across the entire pressure range. The 20 ms response time ensures rapid system reaction for high-speed automation applications.
Direct Acting Design
Unlike pilot-operated valves, the direct acting design requires no minimum pressure differential, allowing operation from 0 kPa (atmospheric pressure) to maximum rated vacuum. This enables reliable performance in vacuum applications where other valves fail.
Robust Construction
Built with industrial-grade materials and precision engineering, the N15 Series withstands demanding operating conditions. With a service life of up to 5 million cycles, these valves provide exceptional longevity and reliability.
Versatile Configuration
Available in multiple port sizes and thread types, the N15 Series can be easily integrated into existing systems. The choice of NBR or FKM seals allows customization based on specific media requirements.
Monitoring Capabilities
Selected models feature built-in magnets for auto-switch compatibility, enabling real-time confirmation of valve position. This enhances system monitoring, diagnostics, and control capabilities.
Global Compliance
With CE marking and RoHS compliance, the N15 Series meets international safety and environmental standards. This ensures seamless integration into systems worldwide without regulatory concerns.
