ASCO Numatics has introduced the Numatics 501 Series panel mount adapter plate. The new product brings the Numatics 501 Series directional valve’s high flow characteristics and compact size to pneumatic panel applications.
“The 501 Series panel mount adapter plate fulfills our customers needs for space savings, easy panel construction and assembly,” said Robert W. Kemple, Jr., executive vice president, sales and marketing – Americas, ASCO Numatics. “It eliminates the need for complex tubing routing and bulkhead fittings, reduces custom machining and drilling and simplifies panel layout.”
The mounting plate adapter allows original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and end users to directly connect the 501 Series valve manifold to a panel in the wall or floor of a cabinet. All panel strength, integrity and certifications are maintained. The panel mount adapter plate is ideal for applications in the process industries where directional control valves are installed in a cabinet due to environmental or packaging constraints. These applications include food and beverage, pharmaceutical and packaging machinery, plus general machine automation.
