Product Overview
The Pfeiffer Vacuum PM Z01 317 is a precision-engineered vacuum solenoid venting valve designed for controlled admission of atmospheric air into vacuum systems during shutdown, venting, or pressure equalization sequences. Manufactured by Pfeiffer Vacuum, a global leader in vacuum technology, this valve operates as an electrically actuated two-port solenoid valve that opens to allow filtered air ingress when de-energized or energized depending on configuration. Its compact, corrosion-resistant construction and elastomer sealing technology make it ideally suited for integration into rotary vane pump systems, roots blower packages, and turbo molecular pump stations where reliable venting is critical to prevent oil backstreaming and protect vacuum integrity. The PM Z01 317 serves as a direct-fit replacement component within Pfeiffer Vacuum pump and system assemblies, ensuring seamless compatibility with existing vacuum control architectures.
