5/3-way hand lever valve, closed center, G 1/4, detented, 600 l/min - E.MC

When a double-acting cylinder with a defined center position has to be switched without any electrics, one move of the lever does it. The G 1/4 valve flows 600 l/min through a 3.9 mm orifice. In the center position all ports are blocked, so the cylinder holds its position on trapped air. All three lever positions are detented and stay put without holding force.

Advantages

• Closed center: the cylinder holds intermediate positions without the operator holding the lever
• Aluminum body and spool, NBR seals, working pressure 0 to 8 bar
• Runs on filtered air, lubricated or dry, no relubrication needed
• 3 supply and working ports G 1/4 plus 2 separate exhaust ports G 1/8, so each cylinder side can be speed-controlled individually

Applications

• Stopping lift tables, flaps and slides in intermediate positions
• Manual positioning where the cylinder must stay put after release
• Manual control of double-acting cylinders on special-purpose and test machines
