Product Description
The Festo VABF-S7 series flow control plates are throttle plates specifically designed for use between VOFC/VOFD series valves and actuators with NAMUR interface according to VDI/VDE 3845 . These operating components enable precise supply air and/or exhaust air flow control, allowing optimized pneumatic actuator speed management for improved system performance .
Key Features & Advantages:
-
Multiple Flow Control Configurations: Available in two variants – VABF-S7-F1B5P1-F for supply air and/or exhaust air flow control, and VABF-S7-F1B1P2-F for 2-channel exhaust air flow control of a drive with valve VOFC
-
NAMUR Interface Compatibility: Specifically engineered for actuators with NAMUR port pattern according to VDI/VDE 3845, ensuring seamless integration with standard pneumatic actuator interfaces
-
Exceptional Corrosion Resistance: Rated with Corrosion Resistance Class (CRC) 4 – Very high corrosion stress, providing outstanding protection for demanding industrial environments including marine and chemical applications
-
ATEX Zone Compatibility: Suitable for operation in potentially hazardous areas including Zones 1, 2, 21, and 22 (ATEX), as the products contain no potential ignition sources when used as intended
-
Flexible Pilot Air Supply: Supports both external and internal pilot air supply configurations, offering versatility for different pneumatic system designs and control requirements
-
Wide Operating Pressure Range: Operates effectively from 0 bar to 12 bar, providing compatibility with a broad range of pneumatic system pressure requirements
-
Durable NBR Seals: Features nitrile rubber (NBR) sealing material, offering excellent resistance to compressed air, oils, and fuels for long-lasting sealing performance
-
Coding Pin for Correct Orientation: Includes a coding pin to prevent incorrect assembly, ensuring proper orientation and preventing operational malfunctions during installation
-
RoHS Compliant: Manufactured without restricted hazardous substances, meeting stringent environmental compliance standards
