SIE Series Solenoid Valves - Optimized Solution for Valve Manifold Mounting

The SIE series solenoid valves represent a specialized evolution within our range of solenoid valves, specifically designed for direct mounting on valve manifolds. This distinctive feature makes them ideal components for complex pneumatic systems where modularity, space savings, and ease of maintenance are fundamental requirements.

Distinctive Technical Features

Specific design: Base adapted for direct mounting on valve manifolds without additional adapters
Mounting pattern: Standardized configuration to ensure compatibility with various manifolds
Available functions: 3/2, 5/2, and 5/3 way with different center positions
Actuation types: Monostable (spring return) and bistable (double solenoid)
Coil voltages: Available in 12V DC, 24V DC, 24V AC, 110V AC, and 230V AC
Optimized sealing: Special seals to ensure tightness at the valve-manifold interface
Visual indication: Integrated LED for operational status confirmation
Manual override: Optional manual override for testing and maintenance

Advantages of the Modular Manifold System

The main difference between SIE solenoid valves and other conventional series lies in their optimized integration into manifold-based modular systems. This design offers significant advantages:

Simplified pneumatic connections: Elimination of external tubing between valves, reducing potential leak points
Centralized distribution: Air supply and exhaust through internal channels in the manifold
Simplified maintenance: Ability to replace individual valves without disconnecting the entire system
Installation density: More control functions in a smaller space
Reduced installation time: Up to 70% less time compared to conventional individual valve systems
Increased reliability: Fewer external pneumatic connections mean fewer potential failure points

Compatibility with Valve Manifolds

Our SIE solenoid valves are fully compatible with the range of modular manifolds we offer, allowing customized system configurations according to the specific needs of each application:

Individual valve manifolds: For mounting a single valve with optimized connections
Multi-port manifolds: For connecting 2, 4, 6, 8, or more valves in a single block
Manifolds with multi-pin electrical interface: With a single connector for all control signals
Manifolds with fieldbus communication: For direct integration with industrial control systems
Manifolds with integrated pressure regulation options: For individualized control per station

Typical Applications

The SIE series with its manifold mounting configuration finds application in numerous industrial sectors, especially in:

Packaging machinery with multiple synchronized actuators
Automated production lines with reduced space requirements
Robotic systems with demand for fast and reliable response
Handling equipment with centralized control requirements
Testing and validation systems with frequent reconfigurations
Textile machinery with multiple pneumatic functions
High-density pneumatic cylinder systems in limited spaces

The choice between a conventional solenoid valve and an SIE series valve for manifold mounting will primarily depend on the complexity of the system, the number of functions to control, and maintenance requirements. For applications with multiple control points concentrated in a limited space, the SIE series in combination with our valve manifolds offers the most efficient, compact, and reliable solution available in the market.

SIE Series Solenoid Valves - Frequently Asked Questions

- What advantages does manifold mounting of SIE solenoid valves offer compared to conventional solenoid valves?
  
  Manifold mounting of SIE solenoid valves offers multiple advantages: significant reduction in required space (up to 40% less), elimination of individual pneumatic connections which reduces the risk of leaks, simplified maintenance allowing replacement of individual valves without disconnecting the entire system, centralization of air supply and exhaust through internal channels in the manifold, and reduced installation time (up to 70% less compared to conventional systems). Additionally, it facilitates the creation of scalable modular systems that can be easily expanded by adding more manifolds and valves as application needs evolve.
- How do you select the correct combination of SIE solenoid valves and valve manifolds?
  
  To select the correct combination, you should consider several factors: first, determine the required pneumatic functions (3/2, 5/2, or 5/3 way) and the type of actuation (monostable or bistable) for each control point. Second, calculate the flow rate needed for each actuator and verify that the selected SIE solenoid valves can provide it. Third, choose the type of manifold based on the number of stations needed (individual or multi-port) and the type of electrical interface required (individual connections, multi-pin, or fieldbus). You should also consider whether you need additional functions such as integrated pressure regulation or safety interlocks. Finally, verify voltage compatibility with your control system (12V DC, 24V DC, 24V AC, 110V AC, or 230V AC). Our technical team can assist you in this selection process to ensure the optimal configuration.
- Is it possible to expand an existing system with SIE solenoid valves and valve manifolds?
  
  Yes, one of the main advantages of systems based on SIE solenoid valves and valve manifolds is their modularity and scalability. There are several options for expanding an existing system: you can add individual manifolds connected to the main system using fittings and pneumatic tubes; use expansion manifolds specifically designed to connect to existing ones sharing supply and exhaust channels; or implement solutions with multi-port manifolds that allow adding additional positions. For the electrical part, systems with multi-pin interface may require replacing the connector with one with more positions, while systems with fieldbus communication generally allow adding additional nodes without significant modifications. It's important to verify the flow capacity of the existing system to ensure it can support the additional valves without compromising performance.
