BURKERT 20094986 Type 8640 Modular Valve Island

Burkert Type 8640 modular valve island (SKU 20094986) for pneumatics. Features 11mm width per station, G 1/4 port, 2.5-10 bar pressure range, and multi-pole connection.

BURKERT 20094986 Type 8640 Modular Valve Island

BURKERT Type 8640 modular valve island (SKU 20094986) is designed to solve diverse and complex control problems due to its systematic modular construction and combination of pneumatic and electrical interfaces. By putting together a row of pneumatic modules with different numbers of valves, 2 to 24 valve functionalities may be realized on one valve unit.

Electrical connectivity is achieved by either fieldbus interfaces, common connection (parallel connection technique) or multipin interfaces. Bodies and connection modules are made of high-quality plastic (polyamide) and are easy to assemble by means of the built-in snap connectors.

AirLINE Quick

AirLINE Quick considerably reduces the use of components in the control cabinet. With the AirLINE Quick Adapter, the valve terminal is adapted directly to the control cabinet floor or control cabinet wall.

INFO

Type 0460 valves cannot be installed with AirLINE Quick because of their size.

Advantages

  • Reduced space requirement in the control cabinet
  • This makes it possible to use more compact control cabinets
  • Reduced installation effort due to hose connections directly at the bottom of the control cabinet

Standard rail installation:

  • Hook the valve block with the upper groove into the standard rail (35 x 15 or 35 x 7.5 EN 50022).
  • Snap the lower clamping pieces into the standard rail.
  • Tighten the screws on the clamping pieces.

Wall installation:

  • Fasten the valve block directly to the wall with M4 screws.
