The push buttons that operate these valves are separate from the logic unit, allowing you to position them away from machinery. Since both hands are required to simultaneously press the buttons, they protect workers from accidental machinery start-up. Also known as 3-way and 3/2 valves, they create one action, such as extending a cylinder. Valves direct airflow from the inlet to your equipment and exhaust return airflow to create motion. They're normally closed to block airflow until actuated. Return actuation is by spring, so valves return to their starting position as soon as you release the actuator. In the off position, they exhaust air from the system, allowing equipment to reset so the action can be repeated.

Note: Valve is sold as a complete unit, consisting of one logic unit and two signal valves. Port size given is for the logic unit. Signal valve port size is 1/8 NPT female.

Flow coefficient (Cv) is a measurement that indicates how much airflow can pass through a valve.

Since both hands are required to simultaneously press the buttons, these valves protect workers from accidental machinery start-up. Also known as 2-hand control valves, they create one action, such as extending a cylinder. Valves direct airflow from the inlet to your equipment and exhaust return airflow to create motion. They can be installed normally open to allow airflow until actuated, or installed to block airflow until actuated. Return actuation is by spring, so valves return to their starting position as soon as you release the actuator. These valves actuate any 3 or 4-way air piloted spring return power valve or small single-acting cylinders. In the off position, they exhaust air pressure from the system to the atmosphere, allowing equipment to reset so the action can be repeated.

Since both hands are required to simultaneously press the buttons, these valves protect workers from accidental machinery start-up. Also known as 4-way and 4/2 valves, they create two actions, such as extending and then retracting a double-acting cylinder. They direct airflow from the inlet to your equipment and exhaust return airflow to create motion. Return actuation is by spring, so valves return to their original position as soon as you release the actuator.
