5/3-way hand lever valve, exhaust center, G 1/2, spring centered, 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 both outlets vent to exhaust, the cylinder is depressurized and can be moved by hand. When released, the spring returns the lever to center.

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

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
