OR Valve G 1/8", Precision - Airtec OR 18

The Airtec OR 18 is a pneumatic OR valve with a G 1/8" threaded connection for the logical combination of two control signals. Output 2 carries a signal when either input 12 or input 14 is pressurised. If both inputs receive a signal at the same time, the valve passes the higher of the two pressures to the output.

Benefits

• Logical OR combination of two signals to drive one output from two sources.
• Passes the higher pressure through when both inputs are signalled simultaneously.
• Anodised aluminium body and NBR seals for long service life with filtered compressed air.
• G 1/8" threaded connection for higher flow rates than the push-in versions.
• Passive element without its own exhaust, low weight of 0.034 kg.

Applications

Used in pneumatic controls where one output must be actuated from two separate points, for example in two-hand or alternative actuation. Once both input signals are cleared, exhausting takes place through the upstream valves.
