15 mm – Model SP5
15 mm – Model SP5
FIM Valvole offers a comprehensive lineup of 15 mm miniature solenoid valves designed for applications where space is limited but high flow rates and reliability are required.
Model SP5 (Hybrid Piston/Poppet) is an indirectly operated 3-way, 2-position valves servo-driven by the 15 mm pilots. They combine the advantages of both piston and poppet designs for extremely fast response times and high flow.
Ardee Hi-Tech Pvt. Ltd. is the official and authorized distributor of FIM 15 mm miniature solenoid valves – Model SP5 in India.
General Specifications
General Specifications
Pneumatic & Flow Performance
- Valve Function: 3/2 Way (3 ports, 2 positions), Indirectly operated / servo-driven.
- Configurations: Available in both Normally Closed (NC) and Normally Open (NO) models.
- Operating Pressure Range: Requires a minimum working pressure of 2 bar to pilot, up to a maximum operating pressure of 15 bar.
- Flow Rate: Delivers high-volume performance of 200 Nl/min (at 6 bar input with a Δp of 1 bar) across paths 1 → 2 and 2 → 3.
- Response Time: Ultra-rapid response times conforming to ISO 12238 standards, switching under 10 milliseconds for both ON and OFF cycles.
Hybrid Architecture & Mechanical Design
- Valve Width: 15 mm compact profile.
- Hybrid Internal Design: Combines the distinct mechanical advantages of a Piston and Poppet system to yield higher flow rates and less friction wear.
- Body Separation Technology: Utilizes FIM’s patented "click-separable" architecture. The pilot coil assembly can be safely separated from the pneumatic poppet body or rotated to any orientation with a single click.
Pilot & Electrical Specifications
- Pilot Options: Highly modular; it can be driven by a variety of FIM pilot series including the 10 mm 3/2 ISO, the 15 mm 3/2 STD (Monostable), or the 15 mm 3/2 LTC (Bistable/Latching) series.
- Voltage & Power Consumption: Depends directly on the specific choice of the matching 10 mm or 15 mm solenoid pilot coil.
- Media Compatibility: Optimized for filtered compressed air, neutral gases, and non-lubricated or lubricated inert fluids.
Material
Material
Main Valve Body & Sub-Base: High-durability, dimensionally stable engineering technopolymers designed to handle high pneumatic flow volumes and heavy cyclic assembly stress.
Internal Valve Assembly: High-performance Hybrid Piston and Poppet Design using advanced polymers and passivated, wear-resistant steel components to guarantee rapid actuation speeds.
Modular Pilot Coils: Precision injection-molded glass-fiber reinforced polyamide polymer technopolymer housing.
Pilot Electrical Windings: High-purity insulated copper wire, utilizing Class F (155°C) or Class H (180°C) insulation systems depending on whether it is paired with standard monostable or bistable latching pilots.
Pneumatic Core Guide: High-permeability ferromagnetic stainless steel alloys calibrated for frictionless pilot plunger strokes.
Sealing Elements: Premium-grade elastomeric compounds designed to optimize airtight poppet sealing over broad pneumatic working pressures.
