VERSA in Steel Mills   

Friday, November 14, 2025, 2:30 PM EST

This session will be hosted via Microsoft Teams

VERSA is excited to introduce the redesigned DE-3 ¼” NPT Dust Excluders—a compact, cost-effective solution engineered to extend valve life and reduce total operating costs.

What’s New

The updated compact design provides greater installation flexibility while maintaining the same trusted performance. The ¼” DE-3 dust excluders now offer interference-free fit on all ¼” valve series without requiring additional fittings or extensions.

Key Benefits

• Reliable protection – Keeps dirt, dust, moisture, and insects from entering through the exhaust port.
• No flow restriction – Maintains large flow capacity with low break-away pressure.
• Self-cleaning design – Flexible seal ensures a tightly closed exhaust port and consistent performance.
• Durable options – Available in aluminum and 316 stainless steel.
• Compact profile – Easier installation on all ¼” valve series with side or downward mounting

VERSA Simplifies the C8P Operators Series with Enhanced IP67 Protection!

All models now come with an IP67 rating. This upgrade delivers superior protection, ensuring complete defense against dust and water immersion.

The IP67 rating makes the C8P Operators Series an excellent choice for industries like agriculture, construction, and mining, where rugged environments and high-pressure washdowns are the norm. With this improvement, your equipment can perform reliably, even in the toughest conditions.

This enhancement applies to C8P Operators equipped with DIN 43650 Type B / Form B Industrial connectors (not included) with equivalent ratings.

Standardized Mounting Interfaces Built for Speed, Compatibility, and Control 

VERSA now offers ISO 5599-compliant mounting plates, designed to streamline valve integration, eliminate custom brackets, and support seamless automation.

Our ISO 1 and ISO 2 plates are precision-fit for the C7 valve series, while a new valve body with C9 internals ensures compatibility with ISO 3. These plates provide a universal fit, quick installation, and precise valve-actuator alignment.

Engineered for performance and built to last, VERSA’s mounting solutions offer modular flexibility, reduce downtime, and deliver reliable operation in even the toughest environments.

We’re pleased to announce that our C5 NAMUR and C7 Side-Ported Valves now feature an upgraded maximum pressure rating of 150 psi, up from the previous 115 psi (8 bar). This enhancement expands the versatility of these valves, allowing them to support a wider range of applications when paired with a solenoid rated for 150 psi (10.3 bar) or higher.

We are excited to announce that the VERSA Modular Air Package (VMAP), an advanced and compact air management system primed to elevate the actuator control industry, is now available in 28 standard model configurations. The VMAP integrates essential pneumatic components such as filter/regulators and directional control valves into a seamless assembly.
Built on the field-proven V-316 Series by VERSA, the VMAP offers a wide range of options and configurations. Its innovative design simplifies the assembly process, resulting in a smaller, lighter package that reduces leak points, fittings, tubing, labor, and installation costs.
In addition to the standard models, VERSA provides custom build options to tailor solutions to specific application needs.
