Hafner 16 mm Air Manifolds for 3/2 Valves
The Hafner RD series 16 mm manifolds are designed for grouped mounting of MD16 3/2 pneumatic valves in control panels. The common base reduces individual supply and exhaust lines, enabling a more organized layout in circuits with multiple pneumatic signals or compact actuators.
Valve Compatibility
Supported manifold plates include:
- MD 311 104
- MD 310 343 / MOD 310 343
- MD 310 4_3 / MOD 310 4_3
- MD 310 304 / MOD 310 304
- MD 310 404 / MOD 310 404
Available station counts: 2 to 12 for selected series, up to 16 stations for other variants.
Connections and Outlets
Depending on the manifold type, supply and exhaust ports are G 1/8” or G 1/4”. Consumer outlets may be M5, Ø4, Ø6, or integrated into the valve, depending on the RD version.
Standard Variants
- RD 302–312 104: G 1/8” supply, M5 outlet, M3 exhaust
- RD 302–312 144: G 1/8” supply, Ø4 outlet, M3 exhaust
- RD 302–316 344: G 1/8” supply, Ø4 outlet, G 1/8” exhaust
- RD 302–316 464: G 1/4” supply, Ø6 outlet, G 1/4” exhaust
Blanking Plates
Unused stations require BP 3 blanking plates, selected per manifold type to maintain supply and exhaust sealing integrity.
Selection Criteria
Manifold selection is based on valve count, MD16 type, connection size, consumer tube diameter, and simultaneous air consumption. Maintenance involves checking seals, clamping screws, blanking plates, exhausts, and monitoring pressure drop during multiple valve operation.
Applications and Operational Notes
- Typical media: filtered compressed air, lubricated or non-lubricated
- Suitable for automation panels, process control, and distributed pneumatic systems
- Operating pressure and temperature per Hafner MD16 valve specifications
- Conforms to industrial pneumatic standards
- Compatible with manual, pneumatic, or solenoid actuators
- Sealing options depend on valve and manifold variant
