Product Overview
The Bürkert 2873 A 2,5 FKM VA (Part No. 00234314) is a direct-acting 2/2-way proportional solenoid valve engineered for precise, continuously variable flow control of neutral and aggressive media in industrial process systems. Manufactured by Bürkert, a global leader in fluid control technology, this valve operates on an electromagnetic proportional actuation principle: the armature position — and therefore the orifice opening — is infinitely adjustable in direct proportion to the applied coil current. This enables accurate, repeatable modulation of flow rates rather than simple on/off switching. The “A” designation indicates a normally closed (NC) circuit function, while the 2.5 mm nominal orifice delivers fine-resolution control suitable for dosing, mixing, and metering duties. The FKM (fluoropolymer elastomer) seal compound and VA (stainless steel) body construction provide outstanding chemical resistance, making this valve a reliable choice for demanding process environments where precision and media compatibility are critical.

Engineering Features & Advantages
- Precision Proportional Control: Infinitely variable flow modulation proportional to coil current enables accurate dosing, blending, and metering — far superior to simple on/off solenoid operation.
- Direct-Acting Design: Requires no minimum differential pressure to operate, ensuring reliable performance across the full pressure range including low-pressure and vacuum-adjacent conditions.
- Chemical Compatibility: FKM seals resist oils, fuels, aggressive fluids, and many industrial chemicals, while the stainless steel (VA) body withstands corrosive process media.
- Fast Dynamic Response: Low-inertia armature and optimized magnetic circuit deliver rapid response to control signal changes for closed-loop process regulation.
- Industrial Reliability: Designed for dependable long-term operation in demanding industrial environments, with quality bearings and sealing systems ensuring extended maintenance intervals.
- Direct Fit Replacement: Precision-manufactured to original BURKERT specifications for direct replacement, minimising downtime and eliminating fitment issues.
