BURKERT 351172 Type 6430 3/2-Way Servo-Assisted Piston Valve

BURKERT 351172 Type 6430 is a 3/2-way servo-assisted piston solenoid valve with G 1/4 port, 8mm orifice, and brass body. Designed for external air control up to 8 bar.

BURKERT 351172 Type 6430 3/2-Way Servo-Assisted Piston Valve

BURKERT 351172 Type 6430 is a servo-assisted 3/2-way piston valve. If the valve is not supplied with auxiliary pilot air, a minimum differential pressure is required for the function. The 351172 model is an external air controlled variant designed for vacuums up to 8 bar in the normally closed (NC) function. A maintenance-free, media-separated 3/2-way pivoted armature valve Type 0331 is used as a pilot valve. In combination with a plug to DIN EN 175301-803 Form A, the valve satisfies degree of protection IP65.

Features

  • Servo-assisted piston valve
  • Increased operational safety with pivoted armature technology
  • Service-friendly manual override
  • External air controlled variant for vacuum applications

Installation & Maintenance

Risk of injury from high pressure

Before loosening lines and valves, switch off the pressure! Vent or empty the lines.

Risk of injury due to electric shock

Before working on the device or system, switch off the power supply. Secure against reactivation. Always connect protective conductor and check electrical continuity between solenoid and body.

Before installation:

  • Check pipelines for soiling and clean if required.
  • Install a dirt trap upstream of the valve inlet (≤ 500 µm).

Installation:

  • Any installation position, preferably actuator face up.
  • Hold the device on the body using an open-end wrench and screw into the pipeline.
  • Observe pin assignment according to switching function and identification.

Manual Override

When manual override is locked, the valve can no longer be electrically actuated.

Troubleshooting (Valve does not switch):

  • Short-circuit or coil interrupted
  • Inadequate power supply
  • Interior of the valve soiled
  • Medium pressure outside the permitted pressure range
  • Manual override locked
  • Not enough differential pressure available (pilot pressure must be at least 2 bar above operating pressure)
