Microvalve technology

Mikroventil

The SCHUNK add-on valve consists of an electrical distribution box and two 3/2-way micro valves that are screwed directly into the respective actuator.

Area of ​​Application
The add-on valves are used on a wide variety of SCHUNK gripping modules.

Advantages – Your Benefits
Increased efficiency and shortened cycle times
due to lower compressed air consumption
Time and cost savings
due to reduced assembly effort and shorter cables to the actuator

Options and Special Information
Pre-assembled Cables
Both the valves and the optionally available sensors are equipped with pre-assembled 30 cm cables that are connected to the distribution box with a three-pin M8 connector.
