VS Series Valve Manifold

VS Series Overview

The Norgren VS Series gives you the versatility to choose the features you need with the modularity to easily expand and add accessories.

By combining flexibility and Swiss-engineered quality, Norgren has created a no-compromise valve range with unlimited ability.

Whether using a simple Multi-pole, complex Fieldbus, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, or IO-Link system expanding the size of your valve manifold to match the changing demands of your equipment is a simple “plug-and-play”
experience. The plug-in Printed Circuit Board (PCB) technology takes only seconds to
install and additional sub-bases can be attached with only two screws.

VS Series gives you options

The VS18 and VS26 valve manifolds are unique in offering two spool technologies.

To maximize the speed of your pneumatic system and have a higher flow rate, use the IMI Norgren softseal spool to achieve enhanced flow rates.

For maximum reliability and extended life, our glandless spool and sleeve delivers hundreds of millions of trouble-free cycles. Or incorporate both spool
technologies within the same valve manifold to optimize your machine’s performance.

Glandless or softseal spool valves – the right technology, for every application.  

Accessories:

A number of accessories and spare elements are available for our valve manifold ranges.
