BURKERT SOLENOID VALVE SINGLE / DOUBLE ACTING
BURKERT SOLENOID VALVE SINGLE / DOUBLE ACTING
Burkert Solenoid Valve – Single/Double Acting (Industrial Applications & Process Automation)
Burkert solenoid valves are widely used in industrial applications for process automation where the control of liquids and gases is essential. These valves come in single-acting and double-acting types, depending on how the actuator works.
A single-acting solenoid valve uses air pressure to move the valve in one direction and a spring to return it. It is commonly used where a fail-safe function is needed—like automatically closing when power is lost. This is useful in industries such as chemical processing, food and beverage, and water treatment.
A double-acting solenoid valve uses air pressure to open and close the valve. It provides stronger, more reliable movement, making it ideal for larger or heavier valves. These are used in systems that require precise control, such as pharmaceutical, oil and gas, and automated manufacturing.
Burkert solenoid valves are known for their high quality, long life, and easy integration with PLC and SCADA systems. They help reduce manual work, improve safety, and increase efficiency in industrial plants.
OVERVIEW
Burkert offers solenoid valves that can be used in conjunction with single-acting or double-acting actuators, especially in process valves like angle seat or diaphragm valves. Here’s a breakdown of the difference and how Burkert supports both:
🔁 1. Single-Acting Solenoid Valve
Function: Controls air supply to a single-acting actuator, which uses a spring return to move the valve back to its original position when the air is released.
Applications: Fail-safe positions (fail-open or fail-close).
Burkert Compatibility: Often used with Burkert Type 6013, 6014, or pilot valves for controlling pneumatic actuators like Type 2000 (angle seat valves).
🔁 2. Double-Acting Solenoid Valve
Function: Controls air supply to a double-acting actuator, requiring air pressure for both opening and closing.
Applications: Where stronger actuation or full control is needed without a spring return.
Burkert Compatibility: Can be used with Burkert Type 6519, 8605, or manifold-mounted solenoid valves in automation panels.
