5/3-way hand lever valve, closed center, G 1/2, detented, 1350 l/min - E.MC

The 5/3-way hand lever valve switches a double-acting cylinder with a defined center position purely mechanically via the lever. Body and spool are aluminum, flow is 1350 l/min at G 1/2. 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

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

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
