MOOG'S EXPLOSION-PROOF SERVOVALVES AND SERVO-PROPORTIONAL VALVES RECEIVE ATEX AND FM CERTIFICATIONS
01 June 2003 - Moog Controls

ATEX Certification for servo and servo-proportional valves used in explosion-proof environments is obligatory from 1 June 2003 in the European Union. Moog has also received FM certification (Class 1, Division 1, Group B, C, D) for the D633K and D634K Direct Drive Valve Series. FM Certification is used in the USA for explosion-proof environments.

ATEX Certification for servo and servo-proportional valves used in explosion-proof environments is obligatory from 1 June 2003 in the European Union.

Moog has also received FM certification (Class 1, Division 1, Group B, C, D) for the D633K and D634K Direct Drive Valve Series. FM Certification is used in the USA for explosion-proof environments.

With both of these certificates, Moog can offer a servo and proportional valve portfolio for explosion-proof environments from sizes NG 6 with 2-16 liter/minute nominal flow up to NG 25 with 550 liter/minute nominal flow (each with DpN = 5 bar per land).

“This certification offers our customers the highest level of confidence in the safety of our products in potentially hazardous environments,” said Mark Ludlow, Product Design Engineer, Moog Industrial Controls Division.

Moog also offers a full line of ATEX, FM and CSA approved intrinsically safe Mechanical Feedback Servovalves for potentially explosive atmospheres including the 72K, 78K, 730K, 743K, 760K, G761K and G77XK series.

Other explosion-proof products offered are G493 brushless servomotors with ATEX approval (EEx d IIC T4&T6) and the G493K electro-mechanical actuator series, which is pending ATEX/CSA certification for multiple stack lengths, standard shaft or ballscrew output and various cable entries (European style, NPT conduit box, compound sealed).

This extensive explosion-proof and intrinsically safe product line is ideal for use in gas, steam, and aeroderivative turbines, as well as other industries with potentially hazardous environments.
