The high-flow rate VS series is ideal for simple clamping and locking operations in semiautomatic assembly, end-of-line packaging, conveying, and other applications. The valves can be applied in explosive environments and can be modified to meet the IP67 standard for dust and immersion resistance.

The VS series is comprised of VUVS solenoid valves, VUWS pneumatic valves, and the VTUS valve manifolds. VS series flow rate ranges from 700 l/min to 2,000 l/min. Pressure ranges from 0-10 bar and from 2.5 to 10 bar for internally piloted valves. Valve types include 3/2, 5/2, and 5/3. Valve widths range from .79 inches (20 mm) to 1.2 inches (30 mm).
