Product Description
The Festo ZK is a pneumatic logic component that functions as an AND gate (dual-pressure valve) for logical function control in pneumatic control systems . This compact element enables the logical combination of two input signals, producing an output only when both input signals are present, and requires no electrical power for operation. It is designed for mounting via through-holes, providing a reliable solution for purely pneumatic automation circuits .
Key Features & Advantages:
-
Pneumatic AND Logic Function: This dual-pressure valve connects two input signals in an AND function, ensuring that the output port is pressurized only when control signals are present at both input ports, providing precise logical control for pneumatic circuits .
-
Through-Hole Mounting Design: Features mounting via through-holes for secure panel or bracket installation, simplifying integration into pneumatic control cabinets and distribution systems .
-
Wide Operating Pressure Range: Operates reliably from 1.6 bar to 8 bar (ZK-PK-3 variant) or 1 bar to 10 bar (ZK-1/8-B variant), accommodating diverse system pressure requirements in industrial automation environments .
-
Multiple Connection Options: Available with PK-3 barbed fittings for 3 mm plastic tubing (120 L/min flow rate) or G1/8 threaded connections (550 L/min flow rate), providing flexibility for different system architectures and tubing requirements .
-
Robust Housing Construction: Features POM (polyoxymethylene) housing with brass components for the PK-3 variant or durable materials for threaded variants, equipped with NBR seals and RoHS compliance for long-lasting industrial use .
