Danfoss PVE-EX Electrohydraulic Actuator

Approved and certified according to ATEX and IECEx standards, Danfoss' PVE-EX enables the use of PVG valves in harsh environments with explosive atmospheres.

• Designed with cast iron enclosure
• Protects interior connectors and embedded electronics while protective coating on exterior provides superior corrosion protection
• Ex db protection variant uses flame-proof protection method, which is crucial for use in underground mining applications and oil & gas markets
• Ex db is designed to enable easy inspection of flame paths
• Enables cable and cable harness to be changed out quickly, minimizing downtime
• Modular design concept, giving machine designers freedom to configure valve to meet exact demands of application and installation requirements
• Top cover can face forward or backward for easier installation, reducing complexity within wiring harness
• Modular design allows easy installation into existing solutions with cable connection through protected screw terminals
• Industry standard 0-10V control signal variant is available which compliments standard portfolio of ratio metric signal actuators
• Uses spool position feedback control signal to close the loop on PVG valve main spool position, ensuring it is in right position at a given input signal
• High precision of valve flow with high predictability leads to improved machine performance and productivity as well as reduced operator fatigue
• Comes with built-in safeguards such as event monitoring and an optional output for spool direction
• Certified for use in oil & gas applications (group IIB) as well as underground mining (group I) including: Mining Products Safety Approval and Certification Center (MA)(China); European Regulatory Framework for Manufacture, Installation and Use of Equipment in Explosive Atmospheres (ATEX)(EU); International Electrotechnical Commission Standards Relating to Equipment for Use in Explosive Atmospheres (IECEx)(EU); Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA)(U.S.)
