Overview
The Ross 3573B7183 is a 35 Series SERPAR® double solenoid valve engineered for clutch and brake control in mechanical press operations. ROSS Controls pioneered internally monitored double valve technology in 1954, and the 35 Series continues this legacy with advanced electro-pneumatic (E-P) and pneumatic (L-G) monitoring systems. This model combines dual poppet construction with dual solenoid pilot control to ensure safe, repeatable actuation in critical industrial fluid power circuits.
Key Features
- Dual poppet construction for reliable sealing and rapid response
- Two pilot solenoids rated for continuous duty
- Inline mounting type for space-efficient installation
- Engineered to meet or exceed stringent safety standards including OSHA 1910.217, ANSI B11.1, ISO 13849-1 Category 4, and Performance Level e (PLe) requirements
- Internally monitored operation for fail-safe press control applications
