ATEX and IP65 CertificationThe valve is certified for explosion protection (ATEX category Gas II 2G and Dust II 2D) and has an IP65 protection class, making it suitable for use in hazardous environments and ensuring protection against dust and water ingress.

Vibration and Shock ResistanceThe valve has been tested for vibration and shock resistance, ensuring it can withstand harsh conditions during transportation and operation. It meets the standards set by FN 942017-4 and EN 60068-2-6 for vibration tests and FN 942017-5 and EN 60068-2-27 for shock tests.

Compliance with Industry StandardsThe MFH-5/3E-D-3-C-EX conforms to the ISO 5599-1 standard for pneumatic valves and can be used with compressed air in accordance with ISO 8573-1:2010 [7:4:4]. This ensures compatibility with a wide range of pneumatic systems and components.

Manual Override OptionThe valve includes a manual override feature, allowing for direct control in case of electrical failure or during maintenance. This ensures continuous operation and minimizes downtime.

Fast Switching TimesThe valve features fast switching times of 78 ms off and 37 ms on, making it suitable for applications requiring quick response times. The positive test pulse with logic 0 is 2,200 μs, and the negative test pulse with logic 1 is 3,700 μs.

Compact DesignThe MFH-5/3E-D-3-C-EX has a compact design with a width of 65 mm and a nominal size of 14.5 mm, making it ideal for space-constrained applications. The grid dimension is 71 mm, providing a compact footprint without compromising on performance.

1Operational Temperature RangeThe valve operates within an ambient temperature range of -5°C to 40°C and a medium temperature range of -10°C to 60°C, ensuring it can function effectively in a variety of environmental conditions.

1Product Weight and DimensionsThe product weighs 1,040 grams and has a compact design, making it easy to handle and integrate into various systems. The mounting type is through-hole and screw, providing flexibility in installation options.

1Pilot Exhaust PortsThe valve includes pilot exhaust ports (82 M5 and 84 M5), allowing for precise control of the pilot air supply. This feature enhances the overall performance and reliability of the valve.

1Lubricated OperationThe MFH-5/3E-D-3-C-EX supports lubricated operation, which is subsequently required for further operation. This ensures smooth and efficient valve operation over time.

1Sound Pressure LevelThe valve operates at a sound pressure level of 85 dB(A), making it suitable for use in environments where noise levels need to be managed. The low noise level ensures minimal disturbance during operation.

1Electrical ConnectionThe electrical connection is via an F coil, which must be ordered separately. This ensures that the valve can be easily integrated into existing electrical systems, providing a seamless connection.

1Certification and ComplianceThe MFH-5/3E-D-3-C-EX is certified for explosion protection (ATEX) and meets the IP65 protection class. It also conforms to the ISO 5599-1 standard and can be used with compressed air in accordance with ISO 8573-1:2010 [7:4:4]. This ensures compliance with industry standards and regulations.
