NORGREN 2636000-0246 – Pneumatic Solenoid Directional Control Valve | Excelon Series
Engineering Background
NORGREN, a brand of IMI Precision Engineering, has been a global leader in pneumatic motion and fluid control technology for over 90 years. Headquartered in Lichfield, UK, with primary manufacturing in Germany, NORGREN products are the benchmark for reliability in demanding industrial automation environments.
Product Positioning
The NORGREN 2636000-0246 is a 5/2-way single-solenoid pneumatic directional control valve designed for precise actuation of double-acting cylinders and pneumatic actuators. It is engineered for continuous-duty industrial cycles where response speed, seal integrity, and long service life are non-negotiable requirements.

Engineering Advantages
- Fail-safe spring return: Guaranteed de-energized default position for safety-critical circuits
- Low power consumption: Reduces heat generation and extends coil service life in 24/7 operations
- IP65 sealing: Resistant to dust ingress and water jets — suitable for wash-down environments
- DIN connector interface: Tool-free coil replacement and voltage variant swap without re-piping
- Manifold compatibility: Direct sub-base mounting enables compact valve island configurations
- Long cycle life: Rated for >50 million switching cycles under nominal conditions
System Architecture & Signal Flow
In a typical 5/2-way circuit, supply pressure enters Port 1. When the solenoid is energized, the spool shifts: Port 2 pressurizes the cylinder advance side while Port 4 exhausts via Port 5. On de-energization, the spring returns the spool: Port 4 pressurizes the retract side while Port 2 exhausts via Port 3. This deterministic behavior makes the 2636000-0246 ideal for safety-interlock and emergency-stop architectures compliant with ISO 13849.

Technical FAQ
Q: Can this valve be used without lubrication?
A: Yes. The NBR seals are compatible with non-lubricated compressed air provided the air quality meets ISO 8573-1 Class 4 (particle size ≤ 15 µm, pressure dew point ≤ +3 °C).
Q: Is the coil field-replaceable?
A: Yes. The DIN 43650 coil assembly can be swapped without removing the valve body from the manifold or piping.
Q: What is the minimum operating pressure?
A: 1.5 bar (21.8 psi). Below this threshold, the spring-return force may not be overcome reliably.
Q: Is CE certification documentation available?
A: Yes. EU Declaration of Conformity is available upon request for machinery directive compliance packages.
Q: Can I order a manifold assembly with multiple 2636000-0246 valves?
A: Yes. Contact us at support@konmask.com for manifold configuration and volume pricing.
