<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>The <strong>Contromatics CIRCOR 0898328 BMS-1N solenoid valve</strong> is a precision-engineered solenoid control valve designed for hydraulic and pneumatic systems requiring reliable, repeatable on/off operation. Manufactured by Contromatics (a CIRCOR brand), this valve combines robust brass construction with quality internals to deliver stable performance across industrial automation, fluid power, and process control applications.</p>
<h2>Key Features</h2>
<ul>
<li>1/4″ NPT threaded port connections for standard fluid power systems</li>
<li>12VDC coil with normally closed (NC) configuration</li>
<li>Viton O-ring seals for extended operating life and chemical compatibility</li>
<li>Brass valve body for corrosion resistance and durability</li>
<li>Compact, modular design suitable for manifold integration</li>
<li>Direct-acting solenoid mechanism for fast response</li>
</ul>
<h2>Technical Specifications</h2>
<p>The BMS-1N operates as a normally closed (de-energized) solenoid valve with 12VDC excitation. The valve features a 1/4″ NPT port size and uses Viton elastomer seals to maintain hermetic closure and withstand hydraulic and pneumatic media. As a direct-acting solenoid design, it provides rapid response without requiring pilot pressure for operation, making it suitable for both high and low pressure applications within its rated envelope.</p>
<h2>Typical Applications</h2>
<ul>
<li>Hydraulic and pneumatic fluid control in automated machinery</li>
<li>On/off switching for pump motors and actuators</li>
<li>Directional control in pilot-operated circuits</li>
<li>Industrial automation systems and test equipment</li>
<li>Fluid power manifold integration for compact valve blocks</li>
</ul>
<h2>Compatibility & Replacements</h2>
<h3>Compatible With</h3>
<ul>
<li>Standard 12VDC power supplies in industrial control panels</li>
<li>Hydraulic and pneumatic fluid systems (mineral oils, synthetics, and air)</li>
<li>Manifold cavity designs accepting 1/4″ NPT subplate valves</li>
<li>PLC and relay-based solenoid coil circuits</li>
</ul>
<h3>Replaces / Drop-In Replacement For</h3>
<p>Verify compatibility with your system integrator before ordering. Solenoid valve interchangeability depends on port configuration, coil voltage, orifice size, and pressure rating—all of which must match the original equipment specification.</p>
<h3>Works With</h3>
<ul>
<li>12VDC solenoid coil controllers and relay modules</li>
<li>Proportional valve amplifiers and valve terminal modules</li>
<li>Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) with discrete 24VDC or 12VDC outputs</li>
<li>Industrial fluid power networks and pilot-operated circuits</li>
</ul>
