A distinction is made between three groups of valves, according to their principle of operation:
- Solenoid valves for vacuum and compressed-air
- Manually actuated vacuum and compressed-air valves
- Check valves and flow resistors
Vacuum valves are used to control the vacuum and to improve the process safety in vacuum-gripper systems.

Inline valves IV |
The valve for vacuum control directly on the suction pad; Vacuum monitoring is possible directly on the valve. |
![]() |
Solenoid valves EMV |
The valve for direct control of vacuum and compressed air. |
![]() |
Solenoid valves EMVO |
The valve for high flow rates for direct control of vacuum. |
![]() |
Solenoid valves EMVP |
The valve with pneumatic pilot control for vacuum generation. |
Check valves |
||
![]() |
Check valves SVK, SVKG, SVV |
Check valves close the vacuum line if the suction pad is not covered, thus maintaining the vacuum. The version SVV is adjustable. |
![]() |
Check valves SVN |
The SVN extends the application range of the SKV. It is particularly suitable for dusty surroundings. |
![]() |
Flow resistors SW |
Throttle valves reduce the flow of air in order to prevent break down of the vacuum if some suction pads are not covered. |
Sensing valves |
||
![]() |
Sensing valves TV / TVN |
Sensing valves sense the presence of the workpiece mechanically and then open the vacuum line. |
Non-return valves |
||
![]() |
Non-return valves RSV |
The safety valve with return spring for compressed air and vacuum. |
Manually actuated valves |
||
![]() |
Two-way ball valves KVZ |
The manual 2/2-way valve for vacuum and compressed air. |
![]() |
Three-way ball valves KVD |
The manual 3/2-way valve for vacuum and compressed air. |
![]() |
Manual slide valves HSV |
The valve for direct control of vacuum and compressed air with frequent actuation. |
![]() |
Foot-operated interrupter FU |
For foot control of vacuum and compressed air. |
