Operating Medium: compressed air, 40 µm filtered, lubricated or non-lubricated. Duty Rating: 100 per cent continuous. Voltage Tolerance: ±10 per cent. Protection Class: IP65 with a sealed plug. Inlet Orifice: 1.0 mm. Solenoid Coil Mounting: four positions at 90°. Ambient and Media Temperature: −15 to +50 °C (5 to 122 °F).

Decoding the designation

SXE — Norgren’s solenoid-actuated spool valve prefix, the Midi Star sub-base range at this model number.

9561 — the Midi Star G1/8 sub-base body, 5/2, solenoid pilot with spring return.

1 — Classic range body, supplied for a separately ordered coil.

8 — built-in flow regulator.

0 — internal pilot supply, air spring return.

00 — push-and-turn-to-lock manual override.

What these specs mean in practice

Valve Function: 5/2 with air spring return. One solenoid drives the spool over and pilot pressure returns it, so the valve holds one state as its rest position and a double-acting cylinder parks at a known end of stroke when the coil drops out.

Integrated Flow Control: the built-in flow regulator meters the pilot air inside the valve, so cylinder speed is set at the valve rather than at the actuator ports.

Construction: glandless spool, hard anodised aluminium with a PTFE coating running in a matched sleeve. That is what lets the valve run on non-lubricated air without a wearing elastomer seal on the spool.

Protection Class: IP65 with a sealed plug, and 100 per cent continuous duty, so the coil can stay energised indefinitely in a washdown or dusty environment.

Manual Override: push and turn to lock, which latches the spool over for commissioning and fault-finding with the coil de-energised.

Interchange guidance

The correct manufacturer spelling of this designation is SXE9561-180-00. Searchable variants of the number: SXE9561-180-00, SXE956118000, SXE 9561 180 00, SEX9561-180-00, SEX956118000.

SXE9561-A80-00K is the same Midi Star body with the A-range option string, also 5/2 solenoid pilot with air spring return, and SXE9561-A86-00K is the mechanical spring return version. SXE9561-E86-00 is the intrinsically safe EEx ia IIC T6 execution of the same body.
