This product is a high-precision, multi-way ball valve designed for complex pneumatic and fluid control systems. It is part of the ROTEX automation technology lineup, known for robust, modular valve systems used in industrial automation, process control, and machine building.
Decoding the Product Number: 51450V02-6-2R
-
ROTEX: The brand and series, indicating a modular valve system with rotary actuators.
-
51450: The base model number. This typically defines the valve type—in this case, a multi-port ball valve (often a 5/2-way or similar function) with a specific size and flow characteristic.
-
V02: The valve function code. “V02” commonly specifies the internal flow path configuration. For a ball valve, this defines how the ports are connected in each switch position (e.g., pressure, exhaust, actuator ports A and B).
-
-6: The port size. This indicates G1/4″ or 6 mm threaded ports, which is a standard size for compact, high-flow pneumatic valves.
-
-2R: The actuator type.
-
2: Usually refers to a double-acting pneumatic rotary actuator. It requires compressed air to be supplied to both sides to change positions.
-
R: Often indicates a manual override feature (e.g., a lever or knob) to operate the valve manually for setup, testing, or in case of emergency.
-
Key Components of the System:
-
MEDIA A/R (Media Air / Return): This describes the valve’s primary function in a circuit.
-
It is designed to control the flow of air (pneumatic media) to and from a pneumatic actuator (like a cylinder).
-
In one position, it supplies air to port A and exhausts air from port R (return).
-
When switched, it supplies air to port R and exhausts from port A, reversing the actuator’s motion.
-
-
BALL: The valve’s core sealing and switching mechanism is a rotating ball with precision-drilled flow passages. This ensures:
-
Fast switching times.
-
High flow rates (Cv value).
-
Long service life and reliability with minimal wear.
-
-
M2F (Manifold 2 Stations Female): This indicates the mounting style.
-
M2: It is designed for modular manifold mounting. Multiple valves can be stacked side-by-side on a common sub-base or manifold to save space and simplify piping.
-
F (Female): The mounting interface has female threads for screwing onto the manifold.
