Unlimited ability

VS series Valve Islands are unique in offering two spool technologies. To maximize the speed of your pneumatic system, use our softseal spool to achieve enhanced flow rates. For extended life, our glandless spool and sleeve delivers hundreds of millions of trouble-free cycles, or incorporate both spool technologies within the same valve manifold to optimise the performance of your machine. The IMI Norgren VS Series gives you the versatility to choose the features you need with the modularity to easily expand and add accessories. By combining flexibility and Swiss-engineered quality, IMI Norgren has created a no-compromise valve range with unlimited ability.
