AirTAC 2KLA Series: Aluminum Direct Acting Normally Open (NO) Valve

The AirTAC 2KLA Series is a specialized 2-port, 2-position solenoid valve designed for air and neutral gas applications. The "A" in the series name denotes its Aluminum alloy body, which provides a lightweight and cost-effective alternative to brass or stainless steel models.

As a Direct Acting, Normally Open (NO) valve, it allows flow when the power is off and closes immediately when the coil is energized. Because it is direct-acting, it is capable of a zero-pressure startup, making it ideal for low-pressure pneumatic logic, blowing systems, and vacuum applications.

Key Product Features

• Lightweight Aluminum Body: The high-strength aluminum construction reduces the overall weight of the valve, making it ideal for mobile machinery or weight-sensitive manifolds.

• Normally Open (NO) Operation: Default state is open, ensuring that air or gas continues to flow in the event of a power failure—a critical feature for certain cooling and safety vent systems.

• Zero-Pressure Functionality: Does not require a minimum operating pressure differential; the solenoid force directly moves the internal plunger to seal the orifice.

• Compact and Efficient: Its small footprint allows for high-density installation in control cabinets or on machine frames.

• Direct-Acting Response: Offers very fast response times (measured in milliseconds), providing high precision for rapid-cycle air-blowing or sorting applications.

• Durable Internals: Despite the aluminum body, the internal wearing parts (plunger and spring) are typically made of stainless steel for long-term reliability.
