Designed to provide a plug and play solution for OEMs that need to be compliant with Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, the range also complies with ISO 13849-1, covering the safe design of control systems performing safety functions.

Safety valves ensure that in the event of an emergency, safety-critical system components can be exhausted and de-energised as quickly as possible. This exhausting operation can be accurately monitored through the valves’ integrated anti-tamper sensor, which detects and monitors the position of the spool.

Series MX SAFEMAX is available in two versions which can achieve different performance levels. The single-channel version is classified in category 2 to achieve Performance Level D. The double channel valve is classified in category 4 to achieve Performance Level E.

These high exhaust flow valves are designed for integration into existing Camozzi Series MX2 FRL groups. With an operating temperature of -5 to +60°C, the valves feature FKM seals, offering excellent resistance against contaminants.
