Product Overview
The BURKERT 00146342 is a direct-acting 2/2-way solenoid valve engineered by Bürkert, a global leader in fluid control technology. Designed for general process and pneumatic service, this valve utilizes an electromagnetic coil to actuate a plunger-type armature that directly opens or closes the valve seat without requiring a minimum differential pressure. This working principle makes the 00146342 suitable for both neutral and mildly aggressive media, including compressed air, water, and technical gases, in applications where reliable shut-off and fast response are essential. As a compact, media-separated valve, it integrates seamlessly into industrial process control loops, dosing systems, and pneumatic automation circuits, providing precise on/off control with low power consumption.
