5/3-way hand lever valve, exhaust center, G 1/2, detented, 1350 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 1/2 valve flows 1350 l/min through a 6.2 mm orifice. In the center position both outlets vent to exhaust, the cylinder is depressurized and can be moved by hand. All three lever positions are detented and stay put without holding force.

Advantages

• Exhaust center: piston and load move freely without residual pressure, e.g. for manual alignment
• 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

Applications

• Aligning loads by hand after switching off, without residual pressure
• Setting up and adjusting fixtures without trapped pressure
• Manual control of double-acting cylinders on special-purpose and test machines
