Festo Pneumatic Logic Controller, 500L/min Flow Rate, 1 to 10 Bar - OS-1/8-B
Use this pneumatic logic controller from Festo to keep your industrial process applications working efficiently. The component uses compressed air or fluids to open and close valves for the precise and reliable control of actions like starting, stopping or pausing pneumatic actuators. A wide operating temperature range between -10°C and +60°C lets you use this regulator in demanding environments. It's a compact unit weighing just 45g, so is easy to install in confined spaces.
• Pre-drilled through-hole for quick and easy mounting on pneumatic pipes and lines • Wrought aluminium alloy housing has a high strength-to-weight ratio for durability and robustness • Nitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) seals withstand damage from chemicals and solvents to keep you system airtight
Applications
• Industrial systems with combustive materials • Biopharmaceutical laboratories • Manufacturing and packaging lines
Is it better to use a pneumatic rather than an electric logic controller in flammable environments?
Electric logic controllers use electricity to run, which can ignite and fuel fires. Pneumatic logic controllers, on the other hand, use compressed air or liquid that doesn't spread fire. They're also ideal for environments with lots of dust and moisture, because they function without electrical components can be damaged by corrosives.
