Why Industries Choose HAFNER

Every product decision is driven by what industries actually need in the field - not by what is easiest to manufacture.

SIL 3 Certified

Designed for safety-critical shutdown applications where failure is not an option. Certified to IEC 61508 Parts 1-7.

Explosion-Proof

Approved for use in zones with explosive atmospheres. Meet ATEX, IECEX, CSA/FM, UKCA, and CCC standards. Types of ignition protection: Ex ec, Ex m, EX ia, Ex e mb, Ex dm, Ex d.

316L Stainless Steel C5-M approved

Ideal for aggressive media and corrosive environments, including offshore, chemical, and food-grade applications.

Down to -50 °C

Qualified for extreme cold. Seals and materials engineered for long-term low-temperature reliability.

Fully Encapsulated Coils

Valves with protection up to IP 67. Provides excellent protection against dust and water ingress. Suitable for harsher environments.

High-Flow NAMUR Valves

Our high-flow NAMUR valves feature an airflow rate of up to 2,250 Nl/min, ensuring fast actuation of process valves.

Brass-Free Versions

For aggressive atmospheres, such as ammonia, or when strict lead reduction is required.

Series "Salt & Valves"

A range of C5-M-certified, seawater-resistant aluminum valves designed for harsh environments. Ideal for shipbuilding, desalination plants, and other offshore applications.

Low-Power AS-i Coils

Coils with ≤ 2 Watt power consumption are ideal for ASI bus systems, as no additional electric connection cable is required.

NAMUR Valves and Accessories

NAMUR valves according to VDI/VDE 3845 with NAMUR 1 (1/4") and NAMUR 2 (1/2") interfaces are the standard for process valves. Additionally, special fail-safe valves and accessories are often required.

Flow control block

Flow Regulator Plates

Independent speed control for opening and closing strokes on both single- and double-acting actuators.

Block and vent valve

Block & Vent Valve

Locks actuator position or exhausts both chambers. Lockable with padlock; optional inductive position feedback to PLC.

Inflatable seat control block

Control Block for Inflatable Butterfly Valve Seats

Purely pneumatic sequencing for butterfly valves with inflatable seats. 0–2 s adjustable seat inflate/deflate timing.

Bypass valve

Bypass Valve

6/2-way configuration for quick-exhaust, fail-safe control with external air tank, and redundant circuit implementation for selecting between two air sources.

Quick exhaust block

Quick-Exhaust Block

Up to 3,000 Nl/min exhaust flow for rapid spring-return closing. NAMUR 1 and NAMUR 2 interfaces available.

3-position fail-safe valve

3-Position Fail-Safe Valve

Open, close, or hold any intermediate position. At supply loss ≥ 3 bar, the actuator moves automatically to fail-safe position.

Lock-up valve

Lock-Up Valve

Designed to trap air inside the actuator or exhaust the actuator as soon as the pressure falls below the preset value. The opening and closing pressure of the valve is adjustable via a setting screw.

Cylinder-valve combination plate

Cylinder-Valve Combination Plate

Simplifies NAMUR valve mounting on linear or scotch-yoke actuators. Faster switching, lower air consumption, easier service.
