Product ID: 49888035 – Solenoid Valve (Pneumatic, 24 VDC)

Description:
This component is a pneumatic solenoid valve designed for use in waterjet cutting systems . It serves as a critical electromechanical control device that directs the flow of compressed air to actuate pneumatic components, such as the on/off valve (water switch) or other air-driven mechanisms within the cutting head or intensifier assembly . This valve is direct solenoid-operated, features a 2/3 way poppet design, and is configured as a Normally Closed (NC) valve, meaning it remains closed when no electrical signal is applied .

Applications:

• Used to control the supply of pneumatic air to the cutting head's on/off valve, enabling the precise starting and stopping of the waterjet .

• Integrates into the waterjet system's automation circuit, often managed by the CNC controller, to execute programmed cutting paths .

• Suitable for controlling air flow to other pneumatic devices in the waterjet system, such as material handling clamps or dust collection systems.

Features:

• Power Supply: Operates on a standard 24 VDC (Volts Direct Current) control voltage .

• Valve Function: Utilizes a direct solenoid-operated, 2/3 way poppet valve design. With supply air in port 1, load in port 2 gives a normally closed without signal, and port 3 acts as a vent .

• Compact Construction: Lightweight design, weighing approximately 0.224 lbs (0.102 kg) for easy integration into control cabinets .

• Interchangeability: A standard OEM replacement part, also cross-referenced with part numbers 5000008 and 6103535 .

Maintenance:

• Routine Inspection: Periodically check the valve body for signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Ensure all electrical connections to the 24 VDC coil are secure and free from moisture.

• Functional Testing: Verify correct operation by observing if the pneumatic actuator (e.g., the cutting head valve) opens and closes in response to the CNC control signal.

• Cleaning: Keep the exterior of the valve clean to prevent the buildup of abrasive dust, which can interfere with heat dissipation.

• Replacement: If the valve fails to actuate despite a correct electrical signal and air supply, or if it leaks air, replace it with a new unit. Internal components are not typically field-serviceable.

• Full Depressurization: Before performing any maintenance on the valve or its pneumatic lines, completely shut off the compressed air supply to the machine and vent any residual air pressure in the system.
