Koganei F18T2-B-AC200V Solenoid Valve – F18 Series, 5-Port, 2-Position Double Solenoid
The Koganei F18T2-B-AC200V is a 5-port, 2-position solenoid valve from the Koganei F Series, in the 18 mm valve width F18 size, with an AC200V coil. The T2 version leaves the factory set as a double solenoid valve. It can also be switched on site to work as a single solenoid valve, using the manual override. The F18 is the largest valve in the F Series, intended for cylinders from Ø50 to Ø100 mm.
What the Part Number Means
- F18 – Koganei F Series, 18 mm valve width
- T2 – 2-position, double solenoid specification (switchable to single solenoid)
- No letter after T2 – Internal pilot type
- -B – Supplier-specific suffix; see the verification note below
- AC200V – Coil voltage 200 V AC
Two Valves in One
On the F Series 2-position valves, a manual override setting switches the valve between single solenoid and double solenoid operation. One part number can therefore cover both functions, which simplifies spares stock. The F18 also delivers 2 to 3.3 times more flow than earlier Koganei valves of the same width.
Key Data (Koganei F Series Catalogue)
Valve
- Ports / positions: 5 ports, 2 positions
- Function: double solenoid, switchable to single solenoid
- Operation type: internal pilot
- Valve width: 18 mm
- Effective area: 18 mm² [Cv 1.0]
- Applicable cylinder bore sizes: Ø50–Ø100 mm
- Overall valve length: 132.5 mm (S type plug connector); 143.5 mm (L type plug connector)
- Main parts: aluminium die-cast body, synthetic rubber lip seals
- Manual override: locking/non-locking dual-use button as standard (a lever is available made to order)
Piping Options for the F18
- Female thread outlet block: Rc1/4
- Dual-use fittings: Ø8 and Ø10 tubes in the same fitting
- Single-size fittings: Ø8 or Ø10
- A type sub-base for single-unit use
- Can work as a 3-port valve (NC or NO) by plugging the 4(A) or 2(B) port
Manifolds
- Monoblock manifolds: A type (base piping) and F type (direct piping)
- Split manifolds: plug-in and non-plug-in types
- Serial transmission compatible manifolds for 12 fieldbus systems, including CC-Link, CompoBus/D and CompoBus/S
- Individual air supply and exhaust spacers available
Koganei Cautions
- Do not energise both solenoids at the same time.
- Because the valve is pilot-operated, the manual override only switches the main valve when air is supplied to the 1(P) port.
Typical Applications
- Control of Ø50–Ø100 mm air cylinders
- Valve banks on split or monoblock manifolds
- Fieldbus-controlled valve islands
- Replacement valves on machines with Koganei F Series manifolds
