Description
DN40 Coaxial Solenoid Valve 0-16 Bar – RSG 27040
The RSG 27040 is a high-flow DN40 direct acting coaxial solenoid valve designed for reliable control of liquids, oils, gases, vacuum and compatible industrial process media from 0 to 16 Bar. Its pressure-balanced coaxial construction requires no minimum differential pressure, providing dependable switching from zero pressure throughout its operating range.
Unlike conventional pilot-operated diaphragm valves, the RSG 270 Series uses a coaxial plunger arrangement with the actuator positioned around the fluid flow path. This design is particularly suited to demanding industrial applications involving high flow rates, frequent switching and thick or glutinous fluids with viscosities up to 1000 cSt.
The DN40 version provides exceptionally high flow capacity through its 1½" BSP connection. The manufacturer specifies a Kv flow coefficient of 45.7 m³/h and an operating pressure range of 0–16 Bar.
Valve Function & Operation
The RSG 27040 is a 2/2 way direct acting coaxial valve available in either normally closed or normally open configurations.
270A40 – Normally Closed
The valve remains closed without electrical power and opens when the solenoid is energised.
270B40 – Normally Open
The valve remains open without electrical power and closes when energised.
Because the valve is direct acting, operation does not depend upon inlet pressure or a minimum pressure differential across the valve. This provides reliable switching from 0 Bar through to 16 Bar.
DN40 Ports & Connections
The standard DN40 RSG 27040 is available with:
✓ G1½ BSP
Optional connection configurations include:
✓ NPT Threads

Coaxial Valve Design
The RSG 270 Series uses a characteristic coaxial construction, with the solenoid surrounding the central plunger and fluid path.
The principal internal components comprise the adapter fittings, valve seat, plunger, solenoid, spring and twin PTFE rod seals. The actuator force acts directly along the same axis as the fluid flow, allowing operation independently of minimum differential pressure.
This design is particularly useful for:
✓ Zero-Pressure Applications
✓ High Flow Applications
✓ Thick & Glutinous Fluids
✓ Oils & Lubricants
✓ Bulk Fluid Transfer
✓ Large Process Systems
✓ Frequent Switching Applications
High Viscosity Fluids
The RSG 27040 is suitable for thick and glutinous fluids with viscosities up to 1000 cSt.
This makes the coaxial design particularly useful for applications involving:
✓ Thick Oils
✓ Hydraulic Oils
✓ Lubricating Oils
✓ Viscous Process Fluids
✓ Glutinous Industrial Liquids
The direct acting coaxial construction avoids reliance on the small pilot passages used by conventional servo-operated diaphragm valves, making it particularly useful where thicker media can create operational problems for conventional valve designs.

Different body materials, seat seals and valve configurations can be selected according to the application and required media compatibility.
For oxygen, vacuum, gas or applications requiring particularly low leakage rates, the required service should be specified when ordering to ensure the correct valve configuration is supplied.
Water Service Seal Option
For demanding water applications, UHMW Polyethylene seals are available with a maximum service temperature of +80°C.
UHMW Polyethylene provides excellent wear resistance and low friction. The dynamic sealing arrangement helps strip limescale and debris from the sealing surface during operation.
This makes the configuration particularly useful where water quality or deposits could reduce the service life of conventional sealing arrangements.

Why Choose a Coaxial Valve?
A conventional pilot-operated solenoid valve requires sufficient pressure differential to lift its diaphragm or piston. This can make it unsuitable for zero-pressure systems, closed-loop circuits and applications where pressure can equalise across the valve.
The RSG 27040 is direct acting from 0 Bar, so switching does not depend upon pressure differential.
Its large DN40 coaxial construction combines exceptionally high flow capacity with zero-pressure operation and suitability for thick process fluids, providing a robust valve solution for demanding high-flow industrial applications.
