Product Overview
BURKERT 5281 is a servo diaphragm 2/2-way solenoid valve designed specifically for precise control of liquid or gas media. The product features an innovative construction that requires only one solenoid coil to adapt to all port size specifications, combining core advantages of water hammer-free operation and low noise, with short installation length and support for both threaded and flanged connection methods. Some models offer optional manual operation function, adapting to diverse installation requirements in industrial scenarios.
Key Features
- Easy Operation: Single solenoid coil adapts to the entire series of port sizes, simplifying selection and maintenance procedures.
- Stable Operation: Water hammer-free design reduces pipeline impact, low noise operation improves workplace comfort.
- Flexible Adaptation: Supports NC (normally closed) / NO (normally open) switching functions, optional NBR, EPDM, FKM seal materials, covering various media scenarios.
- Flexible Installation: Can be installed in any direction, recommended actuator upward installation for optimal performance; threaded and flanged versions meet different pipeline connection needs.
- Reliable Protection: IP65 protection rating, suitable for harsh industrial environments, ensuring long-term stable operation.

Certifications and Compliance
The product has passed UL/UR/CSA certification, UL fire safety certification and European gas certification, complying with industrial safety and environmental standards, suitable for use in various industrial scenarios.
Installation and Usage Recommendations
- Installation direction can be chosen arbitrarily, actuator upward installation is recommended to ensure optimal performance.
- Ensure media compatibility with the selected seal material to avoid leakage or damage due to material mismatch.
- Electrical connection must use Type 2508 cable plug to ensure protection rating compliance.
- Working pressure must meet 0.2 - 16 bar range, complete switching requires 0.5 bar differential pressure.
- Special application scenarios (such as non-standard voltage, NPT/Rc ports) can contact the manufacturer for customization.
