Overview
The Norgren D1025C is a three-way directional control valve from Norgren’s established Prospector Series. This poppet-style valve combines solenoid actuation with spring return operation, making it ideal for controlling air flow to single-acting pneumatic cylinders and similar devices. The D1025C features robust construction suitable for industrial automation, fluid power systems, and machine tool applications.
Key Features
- Three-way, two-position poppet valve design for precise directional control
- Solenoid-actuated operation with spring return to normal position
- Direct solenoid pilot actuation for reliable, repeatable performance
- Available in multiple pressure and electrical configurations
- Standard NPT threaded porting for quick integration
Technical Specifications
Variant specifications vary by suffix code. Common configurations include:
- D1025C-A1: 300 PSIG rated, 175°F max operating temperature
- D1025C-CE: 150 PSIG rated, solenoid coil 110/120V 50/60 Hz, 0.07 AMP, 120°F max operating temperature
- D1025C-CC: Poppet valve, spring return, 3/4" NPT connections, direct solenoid actuation
Weight typically ranges from 1.2 to 2.1 lbs depending on configuration.
Typical Applications
- Single-acting pneumatic cylinder control
- Air tool regulation and sequencing
- Machine automation and process control
- Pneumatic press and clamping systems
- Industrial valve banks and manifold integration
- Equipment requiring reliable two-position, three-way flow direction
