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

This 5/3-way hand lever valve lets the operator control a double-acting cylinder with a defined center position directly by hand. With G 1/2 ports and a 6.2 mm orifice it passes 1350 l/min. In the center position all ports are blocked, so the cylinder holds its position on trapped air. When released, the spring returns the lever to center.

Advantages

• 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 with spring centering: the cylinder stops as soon as the operator lets go
• 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

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
