Forced-operated valves
Reliable control at 0 bar
and high flow rates.
The operating principle: The best of both worlds
Force-operated solenoid valves combine the advantages of direct and servo-controlled designs.
The piston or diaphragm is firmly coupled to the solenoid armature, enabling reliable switching from 0 bar. At higher pressures, the actuator is additionally supported by the pressure of the medium.
This makes them extremely flexible all-rounders.

Technical details and areas of application
-
To help you make an informed choice, you will find an overview of the key features of forced-operated valves here.
Advantages:​
-
Maximum flexibility: The valves operate reliably over a wide pressure range, from 0 bar to maximum pressure.
-
Suitable for large flow rates: Unlike directly operated valves, they can also switch large nominal diameters safely.
-
Stable control: Ideal for systems with unclear or highly fluctuating pressure conditions.
Disadvantages:
-
Larger solenoid actuators: Since the magnet must open the valve on its own in an emergency, stronger and larger coils are often required.
-
More complex design: The coupling of armature and membrane can make maintenance more complex compared to simpler designs.
Typical applications
-
Closed circuits: Perfect for heating or cooling circuits where pressure can vary greatly.
-
Systems with fluctuating inlet pressure: Wherever a stable minimum pressure difference cannot be guaranteed.
-
Safety-relevant applications: Where reliable closing must be guaranteed even in the event of a pressure drop.
Maintenance and installation
-
Position-independent installation: Like directly operated valves, forced-operated valves can usually be installed in any position.
-
Regular inspection: Due to the more complex mechanics, regular inspection is recommended.
