Vacuum valves: Edwards® (formely known as BOC Edwards® ) vacuum valves
Edwards® Industrial Quarter Swing Butterfly
Valve Manual and Pneumatic

Edwards® Industrial Quarter Swing Butterfly
Valve Manual and Pneumatic
Suited to industrial vacuum systems
Field proven technology
for vacuum systems
Robust design copes with dirty gas
loads
High conductance and full bore vacuum pumping
Corrosion resistant
Leak tight to greater than 1 x 10-3
mbar | s-1 / 8 x 10-4 Torr | s-1
Use of ASA flange
Integral flange seals
Manual and pneumatic actuation
options
Easily replaced vacuum seals

Built for demanding vacuum applications. The Edwards® QV
industrial butterfly valves are well suited to industrial vacuum installations where
conventional vacuum valves fail through particulate contamination or
corrosive attack

- Actuators are rack and pinion
opposed-piston units in spring return or double acting options
- Sring return models employ a unique cartridge system
that offer safety, simplicity and compactness
- Manual operation is
also available.
Edwards® Industrial Quarter Swing Butterfly
Valve Manual and Pneumatic - Microswitch position sensors

To control external vacuum process
management and detect the status of the valve, 2 microswitches detect the valve
open/closed status

Proximity position sensors

- Providing reliable valve status
sensor duties with solid state inductive devices
- Ideal for
interfacing to computer controlled vacuum installations
- Bounce
free contacts with no moving parts
- Integral LED's for visual
status indication
- Yellow pointer indicates local valve travel
position
