Description
DN15 200 Bar Air Pilot Coaxial Valve – RSG 283
The RSG 283 is a DN15 2/2 way externally controlled coaxial valve designed for reliable shut-off and control of compatible liquids and gases at pressures from 0 to 200 Bar.
Available as normally closed or normally open, the valve uses a double-acting pneumatic piston with return spring, controlled by a 3–8 Bar pilot air supply. Because the operating force is supplied independently of the process medium, the RSG 283 operates from zero differential pressure and is particularly suited to high-pressure, vacuum and demanding industrial process applications.
The DN15 valve provides a manufacturer-rated Kv flow coefficient of 7.2 m³/h and is available with standard 3/8", 1/2" or 3/4" BSP connections.
Valve Function & Operation
The RSG 283 is an externally controlled 2/2 way coaxial valve available in two switching configurations.
283A – Normally Closed
The valve remains closed in its normal unactuated position and opens when the pneumatic pilot actuator is operated.
283B – Normally Open
The valve remains open in its normal unactuated position and closes when the pneumatic pilot actuator is operated.

Flow Capacity
The RSG 283 has a manufacturer-rated conventional Kv flow coefficient of 7.2 m³/h.
The combination of a full DN15 flow path and 200 Bar pressure capability provides substantial flow capacity for a compact externally controlled coaxial valve.
Externally Controlled Coaxial Design
The RSG 283 combines a coaxial process-valve construction with an externally controlled pneumatic actuator.
The actuator uses a double-acting piston with return spring, operated by a 3–8 Bar pilot air supply. Pilot connections are G1/4 and a NAMUR interface is provided for direct mounting of a suitable pilot solenoid valve.
The sectional drawing shows the principal construction comprising:
✓ Adapter Fittings
✓ Valve Seat
✓ Piston / Control Tube
✓ Actuating Plate
✓ Guiding Discs
✓ Return Spring
✓ PTFE Rod Seals
This construction is shown in detail in the manufacturer's sectional drawing on page 2.
Switching Performance
Opening / Closing Time: 50–1000ms
Actual switching time depends upon the operating pressure, control pressure, selected pilot valve and optional exhaust-air throttles.
The valve can be installed in any mounting position.

Vacuum & Clean Service
The externally controlled design makes the RSG 283 suitable for applications where process pressure cannot be relied upon to operate the valve, including vacuum and low-pressure systems.
An oil and grease-free configuration is a manufacturer-defined option for the RSG 283.
Where vacuum, clean service or unusual media are involved, please specify the complete operating conditions when ordering.

Why Choose the RSG 283?
The RSG 283 provides a particularly useful combination of DN15 flow capacity and operating pressure up to 200 Bar.
Unlike pressure-assisted valves, its externally controlled pneumatic actuator allows reliable operation from zero differential pressure. The Kv 7.2 m³/h flow coefficient, 3–8 Bar NAMUR pilot system and 16 Bar reverse-pressure capability make it well suited to demanding high-pressure process applications.
Brass, AISI 303 and AISI 316 body options, specialist sealing configurations and a wide choice of pneumatic and electrical pilot accessories allow the RSG 283 to be configured around the application rather than requiring the system to be designed around the valve.
