Servo-assisted 2/2-way piston valve
The valve 6440 is a servo-assisted piston valve. The stopper and the core guide tube are welded together to increase pressure resistance and leak-tightness. The coils are moulded with highly chemically resistant epoxy. Sliding rings increase the service life for dry gases. Cartridge and flange connections, and solenoids with automotive plugs (IP6K9K), are available for optimised use in fuel cells.
