EJ7342 by Beckhoff

The Beckhoff EJ7342 is a precision-engineered solenoid valve from the EJ EtherCAT Plugins series, designed to regulate the flow of air and inert gases in demanding industrial automation systems. Constructed with a stainless steel body, the EJ7342 offers exceptional durability and corrosion resistance. Operating on 24V DC power, it consumes only 8 W while delivering rapid actuation for machine control. Its primary function is to provide reliable, fast-response on/off control of pneumatic media in factory and process applications.

Incorporating advanced features, the EJ7342 delivers a response time of < 35 ms, ensuring swift valve operation and minimal cycle delays. The valve supports an operating pressure range from 0 to 145 psi with a flow coefficient (cv) of 0.65, enabling precise flow control and stable throughput under variable load conditions. Sealing is achieved with chemical-resistant Viton material to handle aggressive gases. The 1/4 inch NPT port connections simplify integration with standard pneumatic piping.

The EJ7342 meets IP65 protection class requirements, making it dust-tight and resistant to low-pressure water jets for reliable performance in harsh environments. With a compact weight of 320 g, the valve is both lightweight and structurally robust, facilitating easy installation and long-term service life. Its stainless steel construction and Viton seals ensure high chemical compatibility, broad temperature tolerance from -10°C to 80°C, and consistent efficiency in automated processes. Overall, the Beckhoff EJ7342 offers accurate, durable, and energy-efficient valve control for critical industrial applications.
