Expanded Viking Lite Range Offers a Robust and Versatile Solution

Delivering high performance at a reasonable cost, the Viking Lite series offers a choice of three port sizes (G1/8, G1/4 and G3/8) and has a compact design, direct body porting and integral mounting holes for a flexible solution that can be specified in a wide range of industrial applications. Manufactured from anodized aluminium, Viking Lite offers a valve with excellent corrosion resistance and, with a smooth body to eliminate dirt-collecting pockets, suitability for a wide variety of environments.  The addition of the Air Piloted solution expands this flexibility to deliver high performance in all pneumatic operations.

As a highly cost-effective solution, utilising Viking Lite helps to reduce maintenance costs and service time. Through its Wear Compensation System, Viking Lite valves deliver robust performance for a longer service life with short changeover times and low changeover pressure for reduced service time. Fitted with Parker’s dynamic bi-directional spool seals, the range can operate comfortably at pressure up to 10 bar and in ambient temperatures from -10ºC to 50ºC and deliver a staggering 10 million operating cycles.

In addition to single valve installation, Viking Lite gives customers the flexibility to install the valves in two ways; a manifold bar installation with common ducts for ports 1, 3 and 5, giving a simple, time saving and easily serviced solution available in several different sizes, with space for between 2 and 14 valves, or a pressure bar installation for common primary air supply providing a simple, robust, time saving and easily serviced installation. When pressure bars are used, restrictor-silencers can be installed in the exhaust ports of each valve, for individual adjustment of cylinder / air motor speed. Pressure bars are available in a number of different sizes, with space ranging from 2 to 10 valves.
