Flipper Solenoid Valve

Type 6114 is a direct-acting 3/2-way solenoid valve with a PPS housing and media separation. It was developed as a pilot control valve for water valves and can be used between Rand B ports also as a 2/2-way valve. Through the movement between the 2 end positions, the switching element (flipper) seals one of the two opposing valve seats and connects the other to the working port. This movement is caused by the solenoids magnetic field pushing a permanent magnet that is fixed to the flipper element. On the bistable version (pulse valve) the flipper is held in the terminal position by the force of the permanent magnet. A temporary magnetic field, which is triggered by a pulse, acts against the permanent field and moves the flipper to the second terminal position. A second opposing pulse is required to move the flipper back. In addition to its exceptional performance characteristics, the flipper principle is recognised for its very low wear level.
