What makes us unique ...

The strawberry – energy reservoir for hundreds and thou-

sands of pneumatic switching operations. While some

things were inconceivable yesterday, they are within

one‘s reach today. Through an innovative technology,

HOERBIGER offers its customers a simple and safe way

to regulate and control complex functions in working

environments.

Grand technology with maximum

power density: Piezo-technology

from HOERBIGER

The cornerstones of the highly develo-

ped piezo-technology from HOERBIGER

are minimized electric control energy,

a compact lightweight design and extra-

ordinary durability. This is the technolo-

gical foundation for valves, whose per-

formance profile is consistently directed

at the needs encountered in automation

and process technology and which

provide access to safe and economical

automation solutions.

... is that we have mastered a technology that offers extraordinary benefits.

...successfully applied worldwide,

under extreme conditions:

Highly dynamic control

Extremely low power consumption

Flexible installation capabilities

Silent operation

Non-magnetic

Safe for use in hazardous areas

The secret of the HOERBIGER valve`s

success lies its combination of precision

mechanics, electro-technology and the

consistent application of piezotechnology

advantages. Despite their ultra-low power

consumption, HOERBIGER piezo valves

are well-suited for demanding appli-

cations in the process and automation

industry that require broad ranges for

flow, temperature and pressure control.

High dynamics, German-engineered

precision, non-self-heating operation and

non-magnetic characteristics make the

HOERBIGER piezo the valve of choice

for the most demanding switching and

control applications.

Excellent precision and dynamics

Supplying the right pressure at the

right time: The tecno product family is

uniquely suited to meet this require-

ment. The properties of the tecno pro-

duct family are the key to implementing

technically sophisticated applications,

for such fields as mechanical enginee-

ring, in testing technology and medical

operating equipment.

Through their applications, the control

valves of the tecno product family

open up new possibilities to overcome

previously insurmountable performance

objectives.

Ideally equipped for even the toughest requirements

The combination of minimum electrical

control power and maximum dynamics

makes the HOERBIGER Piezo valve

unique.

Climate change

in the control cabinet

The remarkable power density of Piezo-

technology provides switching valves

with the fastest cycle times possible

without self-heating.

High effi ciency combined with low-wear

valve technology allows extreme com-

ponent density with an unequalled life

span.

Ultra-low power consumption permits

the use of HOERBIGER Piezo valves

in energy-critical applications such as

battery-operated systems or energy-

limited bus interfaces. The TTL levels of

such applications are suffi cient to allow

the operation of Piezo valves from

HOERBIGER without any additional

external electrical power.

Piezo technology – the protection

formula for all hazardous applications

Maximum safety through minimized

electrical energy need – the use of the

HOERBIGER basic piezo technology

enables the structure of intrinsically safe

valves. Our engineers have consistently

expanded the development of this

technology specifically for the explosion

protection field. This engineering effort

has resulted in ATEX certification for

several of our valves and systems. The

superior technology of the HOERBIGER

valves allows the application of remote

automation in hazardous areas.

Of course, we offer maximum freedom in

the selection of the electrical interfaces.

Component and system customers in the

process industry especially appreciate

HOERBIGER´s solutions with proven

performance, which they have used

million-fold worldwide for many years.

HOERBIGER – the leading supplier of individual automation solutions ...

Year after year, piezo products from

HOERBIGER in more than 100,000

armatures ensure highly precise and fast

positioning. Thanks to their compatibility

with conventional I/O interfaces and

minimized electric power consumption,

the market for piezo valves and E/P

modules from HOERBIGER is broad,

including hazardous environments.

Another advantage of the piezo technology

for applications in hazardous environments:

Reliable hot swapping during operation

due to intrinsically safe design

This philosophy drives the engineers

of HOERBIGER Automatisierungs-

technik GmbH to seek new solutions,

for ensuring optimum quality in the coil-

winding industry for example, the

HOERBIGER piezo proportional valves

precisely adjust the winding force of

the filaments, glass fibers and technical

yarns to the quickly-changing winding

conditions.
