Mark 76 Series – High Cycle, On/Off Valve
While many pneumatic, modulating control valves can be used for on/off service by supplying air pressure to the actuator in excess of the spring range, they are sometimes an inadequate solution to control a process. True on/off control valves, like the Mark 76, offer many advantages over this approach.
The Mark 76 (1/2" - 2") typically functions using a 0 psi or 20 psi control signal. Through the use of a solenoid, either 0 psi or 20 psi is supplied to the actuator. Depending on the configuration of the sliding gate seats, 20 psi will either open or close the valve.
-
Extremely fast opening and closing times. Short stroke and straight-through flow provide rapid control
-
Due to the short stroke of the sliding gate seat, less force is required to operate the valve
-
Longevity – Lab testing has shown that the MK76 displayed no wear on the diaphragm after 10 million cycles
-
Steam application capability
Includes:
- 1/2" - 2"
- FNPT end connections
