SMC Pneumatic Solenoid Valve - VP700 Series

VP series valves allow safe venting of compressed air to atmosphere and can be used in category 3 and 4 safety systems conforming to ISO standard ISO13849-1. The valve is equipped with two stations allowing pressure to be safely vented if failure occurs. The residual pressure release valve is fitted with a limit switch enabling the valves state (energised or de-energised) to be constantly monitored. If the valve fails, the limit switch can be used to prevent operation until repairs can be carried out.
