Pneumax Series 200 Pedal Valve, Aluminium, 2-Position, Spring-Loaded (228.52.10.1)
The Pneumax 228.52.10.1 valve shares many features with the 228.52.10 model, including:
- Heavy-duty aluminium construction for durability
- 2-position operation for controlling air flow.
- 1/8" BSP port size for standard pneumatic tubing connections.
- No guard for easier pedal access.
However, the 228.52.10.1 version incorporates a spring-loaded mechanism. This means that it maintains air flow:
Unlike the non-spring model, where pressing the pedal redirects air flow and releasing it stops the flow, this version requires holding the pedal down to maintain air flow. Releasing the pedal will engage the spring, returning the valve to its original position and stopping the air flow.
Applications:
This spring-loaded feature makes the 228.52.10.1 suitable for situations where continuous air flow is needed only for the duration of the pedal press, such as:
- Controlling air-powered tools requiring sustained activation.
- Operating pneumatic equipment where precise control over air flow duration is crucial.
- Foot-operated activation in applications demanding momentary air pulses.
