Stainless Steel Compressor Solenoid Valves
Showing all 3 results
Stainless steel compressor solenoid valves open and close the flow in compressed air lines and corrosive environments on an electrical signal. The Unox IKM series has a stainless steel body and comes in normally closed, 3/2-way and high-pressure versions.

How Does It Work?
With the coil de-energised the valve is closed. When the coil is energised, the core is pulled up, the pilot orifice opens and the pressure difference lifts the diaphragm to let the medium flow. When power is removed, the valve closes.
A 3/2-way valve has three ports. De-energised, the inlet is closed and the outlet is open to exhaust; energised, the inlet is connected to the outlet. It is used to control pneumatic cylinders and actuators.
Applications
- Compressors
- Compressed air lines
- Pneumatic systems
- Automation and machine building
Selection and Installation
Install the solenoid valve with the coil on top and fit a strainer upstream. For high temperatures, specify the diaphragm and seal material when ordering. Specify the coil voltage (AC/DC) when ordering. Send us your working pressure, temperature and application, and our technical team will recommend the right model and size.
