The METAL WORK PLT-10 series represents the latest development in modern pneumatic design, focusing on miniaturization, enhanced performance, reduced power consumption, and reliability. These direct-operated 3/2 NC solenoid valves feature a compact 10 mm width design, making them ideal for applications where space is at a premium.

All PLT-10 valves come with an ISO 15218 pneumatic interface, ensuring standardized mounting and interchangeability. The power required to operate the PLT-10 has been significantly reduced, ranging from 0.3 to 0.8 watts, making these valves exceptionally energy-efficient for continuous-duty applications.

Key Features & Advantages

Ultra-Low Power Consumption: The PLT-10 series operates on just 0.3 to 0.8 watts, dramatically reducing energy costs and heat generation. The typical 0.7W power rating allows for direct control by PLC outputs without intermediate relays, simplifying control system design.

ISO 15218 Standardized Interface: All PLT-10 valves conform to ISO 15218 mounting interface dimensions, ensuring compatibility with standard sub-bases and manifolds. This international standard specifies the dimensions of 3/2 solenoid valves for four sizes of mounting interface surfaces, providing reliable sealing and consistent performance across different installations.

LED Status Indication: Each PLT-10 valve is equipped with an LED indicator that clearly shows when the valve is active. This feature simplifies troubleshooting and system monitoring, allowing operators to quickly identify which valves are energized.

Polarity Reversal Protection: None of the PLT-10 versions will be damaged if the polarity is accidentally inverted. This built-in protection eliminates the risk of damage during installation and maintenance, reducing costly replacements and downtime.

Manual Control Option: Monostable manual control is available on PLT-10 valves, allowing operators to manually actuate the valve for testing, commissioning, or emergency operation. This feature is particularly valuable during system setup and maintenance procedures.

Exceptional Service Life: Rated for over 50 million cycles, the PLT-10 delivers outstanding durability in high-frequency applications. The direct-operated design eliminates the need for minimum pilot pressure, ensuring reliable operation even at low supply pressures.

Flexible Electrical Connections: The PLT-10 series is available with multiple electrical connection options including standard plug-in connectors and M8 3-pin connectors. Models with M8 connectors achieve IP65 protection degree (with mounted connector), making them suitable for environments with moisture or dust exposure.

Wide Operating Temperature Range: Operating reliably from 5°C to 50°C, the PLT-10 accommodates a broad range of industrial environments. The insulation class F (155°C) rating ensures coil durability even under demanding conditions.

Compact 10 mm Width: The 10 mm width of PLT-10 valves allows for high-density mounting on manifolds, significantly reducing the space required for pneumatic control systems. This miniaturization supports the trend toward smaller, more compact machinery and equipment.

Multiple Voltage Options: Available in 12 VDC and 24 VDC versions, the PLT-10 series offers flexibility for different control system voltages. The ±15% voltage tolerance provides robustness against supply voltage variations.
