The **M6SWVS-5WD-R/UL** is a specific model of an **Electromagnetic Solenoid Valve**, typically manufactured by companies like **CKD Corporation** or similar industrial pneumatic component suppliers. Below is a detailed breakdown of its electronic and mechanical parts, specifications, and features. --- ### 1. Part Number Breakdown Understanding the nomenclature helps identify the electrical requirements: | Component | Description | | :--- | :--- | | **M6SW** | Series identifier (likely a manifold or compact valve series). | | **VS** | Valve type (often stands for Single Solenoid or specific Vacuum/Pressure configuration). | | **5W** | Number of ports/ways (5-port, 2-position valve). | | **D** | Coil type/Electrical entry (typically a DIN connector or Lead wire). | | **R** | Specific designator for flow direction or reset mechanism. | | **UL** | **UL Certified** (Complies with Underwriters Laboratories safety standards for electrical components). | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Specifications The "Electronic" portion of this device refers to the **Solenoid Actuator**, which converts electrical energy into mechanical movement to shift the valve spool. * **Rated Voltage:** Typically **24V DC** (common for industrial PLC control), though some variants exist for 100V/200V AC. * **Power Consumption:** Generally low (approx. **0.4W to 1.0W**) to allow for direct drive via PLC output cards without external relays. * **Insulation Class:** Class B or E (standard for heat resistance in copper windings). * **Duty Cycle:** 100% Continuous Duty (can remain energized indefinitely without burning out). --- ### 3. Internal Component Structure | Part Name | Function | | :--- | :--- | | **Solenoid Coil** | The copper winding that creates a magnetic field when current is applied. | | **Armature / Plunger** | The moving metal core that is pulled by the magnetic field to open the pilot valve. | | **Manual Override** | A physical button (often red or blue) that allows manual testing without electricity. | | **LED Indicator** | A small light (usually green or red) integrated into the connector to show power status. | | **Surge Suppressor** | A diode or varistor that protects the PLC from "back EMF" voltage spikes when the coil is de-energized. | --- ### 4. Technical Features 1. **UL Listing:** The "UL" suffix indicates it has been tested for electrical safety, making it suitable for export to North American markets. 2. **Manifold Compatibility:** Designed to be mounted on a base block (manifold) to reduce wiring and piping complexity. 3. **Environment Protection:** Usually rated **IP65** or **IP67**, meaning it is dust-tight and protected against water spray. ---
