Pneumax Lateral Lever- Techno 5/2 - Spring Return 1/8"
Pneumax Lateral Lever - Techno 5/2 - G1/8 and G1/4. Available with Black, Red & Green Levers.
The T228.9.1/2 is a compact, manually operated pneumatic directional control valve. Due to its 5/2 functionality and lever actuation, this valve is suitable for various applications requiring manual control of complex airflow paths. Here are some examples:
- Operating small pneumatic actuators: The lever allows for easy control of airflow to power small pneumatic actuators for positioning or clamping purposes.
- Controlling airflow in miniature systems: The small size (1/8" pipe) makes it suitable for applications with space limitations.
- Venting air from small systems: The two exhaust ports and lever positions allow for controlled venting of air from miniature pneumatic systems.
Key features:
- Directional Control Valve: This valve controls the direction of airflow in a pneumatic system based on the lever's position.
- 5/2 Spool Design: It has a spool with 5 positions and 2 exhaust positions, offering more complex airflow control than 3/2 valves.
- 5 Positions: The spool can connect the inlet to different outlets, vent specific ports, or block the flow entirely depending on the lever's position.
- 2 Exhaust Positions: It has two exhaust ports for venting air from either direction depending on the spool position.
- Lateral Lever Actuation: A lever positioned sideways on the valve body actuates the valve. This lever is spring-loaded, meaning it returns to a center position when released.
- Spring Return: The spring mechanism ensures the spool returns to a central position blocking the flow path and exhausting both outlets when the lever is not pressed in any direction.
- Pipe Size: The valve has a pipe size of 1/8 inch, which refers to the diameter of the threads for connecting it to air piping. This is a smaller size commonly used for lower flow rate applications.
