Valve platform eases sourcing
Parker Hannifin's ISO Global Valve Platform complies with ISO15407 and 5599 standards.
Parker Hannifin has launched a new platform for its ISO standard pneumatic valves, which has been developed to enable customers to source common and high-quality products quickly and easily across a wide range of applications Based on Parker's existing Isomax and Isys valve technology, the new ISO Global Valve Platform complies with ISO15407 and 5599 standards, while offering OEMs and end users a number of important operating and performance benefits

Cylinders boost pneumatic performance
The P1T rodless cylinder has a longitudinal polyurethane body seal that lifts and passes through the body of the carriage as it moves.
In particular, the new valve platform gives design and production engineers the ability to standardise on common products, to simplify system design and construction, minimise maintenance costs and reduce stock and spares holdings.
Parker's new ISO Global Valve Platform covers ISO valve sizes 01, 02, 1, 2 and 3, with common mounting, pneumatic and electrical configurations.
The latest Isomax and Isys valve technology can be used with both air and inert gases and provides a far higher level of reliability, functionality and operating life than many competing products.
Isomax valves incorporate a specially developed ceramic-coated spool arrangement, which is virtually free of sticktion to give fast response times and high rates of flow from compact units, with a small footprint.
In addition, they have been developed to give a typical operating life in excess of 100 million operations, with a tough yet lightweight polyamide-re-inforced fibreglass and aluminium body and casing, which can be supplied with bottom or side ported manifolds and sub-bases.
Similarly, the latest modular Isys valves are small and compact, combining exceptional pneumatics performance, with 20% less power consumption and far lower breakaway forces than competing products.
In addition, they feature a wear compensation system for the spool seals, plus integrated serial bus communications, with quick-fit latching mechanisms to enable valve, I/O and communication modules to be installed on common manifold units without the need for the extra connector plates that are typically required with ISO valves from other manufacturers.
All products in the new Parker ISO Global Valve Platform can be supplied in a variety of configurations and with a wide choice of options, including different solenoids, pilot valves and overrides.
They are backed by the company's worldwide network of manufacturing and customer support centres. Request a free brochure from Parker Hannifin ...
