Humphrey A10 & A15 Pilot Valve Series: Precisie in Miniatuurformaat
The Humphrey A10 and A15 Pilot Valve series are specifically developed for machine builders who need extremely compact and reliable pneumatic control signals. These subbase-mounted, direct-acting valves offer an impressive service life of up to 50 million cycles. Inacom supplies these 10mm and 15mm solutions to the high-tech industry for applications where every millimetre counts.
Exceptional reliability and service life
When controlling critical processes, downtime is not an option. That is why the A10/A15 series is fitted with high-grade Buna nitrile seals and a fully encapsulated coil. This robust design guarantees not only a long service life, but also consistent performance under harsh conditions. In addition, all models have a recessed manual override (non-locking) as standard, which considerably simplifies testing and commissioning.
Smart design for flexible integration
The A10 and A15 series stand out for their ease of installation:
- Compact footprint: With a width of only 10mm (A10) or 15mm (A15), these valves fit in the smallest housings.
- Electrical versatility: You can choose axial or perpendicular electrical connections. The A15 series is also available with a DIN-style connector (code 39).
- Manifold mounting: Both series are designed for subbase mounting, making them easy to integrate on customer-specific manifolds.
- Energy-efficient: With a power consumption of only 1 Watt (A10) or 2.5 Watt (A15), heat generation remains minimal.
Main differences between A10 and A15
Although both series offer the same level of quality, they vary in capacity for different applications:
- A10 Series (10mm): The ultimate space saver with a flow of 0.01 Cv. Ideal for controlling small actuators or as a pilot signal for larger valves.
- A15 Series (15mm): Offers a higher flow of 0.05 Cv for applications that need that little bit of extra volume, while the width remains limited to only 15mm.
