Mechanical and manual valves

Foot operated pedal Electrical and pneumatic Series 3 and Series 2

Series 3: G1/4, 5/2-way - NC / NO contacts Series 2: M5; 4/2 tube; 3/2-way NC
The pedals can be supplied in either a pneumatic or electrical foot operated version. The pneumatic type is available with a 5/2 valve and G1/4 front ports, which allow the fittings and silencers to be assembled conveniently on the front face. A 3/2 operation can be obtained by closing an outlet port. The electrical type is available with a single-pole changeover contact microswitch and a front wire outlet (PG9). The pedal can be operated as bistable or monostable, by switching the selector placed under the small red protection flap, as shown in the drawing.

Manually operated console minivalves Series 2

3/2 NC, NO Ports M5, cartridge Ø4
This series of miniature valves has been especially designed to satisfy all the application requirements of the controls industry with particular attention paid to the operating characteristics required from these components:
  • Short operational stroke;
  • Small dimensions.

Manually operated valves Series 1, 3, 4 and VMS

Series 1, 3 and 4: 3/2-, 5/2- and 5/3-way CC, CO; ports G1/8, G1/4 Series VMS: 3/2-way; ports M5, G1/8, G1/4, G3/8, G1/2 and G3/4
Series 3 manual valves (G1/8) and Series 4 (G1/4), 3/2-, 5/2- and 5/3-way, are available with several devices designed to satisfy different needs. Series 1 is provided with two devices: pushbutton (3/2-way) and lever (3/2 and 5/2-way). Series VMS valves are 3/2-way slide valves which are available with ports M5, G1/8, G1/4, G3/8, G1/2 and G3/4. The 3/2-way valves Series 3 and 4 are normally closed when 1 is the inlet and they can also be normally open when 3 is the inlet. Series 3 and 4 5/2-way valves can be supplied via ports 3 and 5 with two different pressures, if a cylinder has to be operated using a delivery pressure which is different from the return pressure.

Mechanically operated minivalves Series 2

3/2-way Ports M5, cartridge Ø4
Series 2 mechanically operated miniature valves, 3/2-way normally closed, are available with M5 threaded ports or with an integrated super-rapid fitting for Ø4mm tubes. The devices are actuated by a plunger, roller/lever or a unidirectional lever.

Mechanically operated sensor valves Series 3 and 4

3/2 and 5/2-way Ports G1/8, G1/4
The particular mechanical device allows these end-stroke valves to operate with very low actuating forces. Series 3 has been designed with a mechanical lever device which works in negative pressure. To increase sensitivity it is possible to add to the lever a steel extension with Ø3 mm.

Mechanically operated valves Series 1 and 3

Series 1: 3/2-way and 5/2-way, ports G1/8 and G1/4 Series 3: 3/2-way and 5/2-way, ports G1/8
These mechanically operated valves have been designed with three different types of actuation:
  • plunger
  • lever/roller
  • unidirectional lever/roller
In each case, return is triggered by a mechanical spring. 3/2-way monostable valves Series 3 are normally closed in the rest position when pressure is supplied in 1 and are normally open when pressure is supplied on connection 3, the user port 2 remaining unchanged. 5/2-way valves Series 3 can be supplied via the ports 3 and 5 with two different pressures if a cylinder has to be operated using a delivery pressure which is different from the return pressure.

Mini-handle valves Series 2

Handle with incorporated micro valve 3/2 NC and NO Handle with incorporated micro switch
Manual handle with integrated pneumatic micro valve 3/2 or with an electrical micro switch with single pole changeover contacts. Rugged construction particularly suited to be incorporated in to other equipment.
