Modular Valve Line Overview

Modular Valves are quite simple compared to other pneumatic components when you examine the elements that make up the line of products. 听Essentially there are only 3 base valves and 18 different ways to actuate the base valve. 听These combinations give a variety of versatile valve elements that broaden the possibilities when designing a pneumatic circuit. 听These valves are the ideal manifold mounted solution to pneumatic circuit applications.

Modular Series Base Valves

Can be used as a:
鈥� 2-way normally closed valve
鈥� 2-way normally open valve
鈥� 3-way normally closed valve
鈥� 3-way normally open valve
鈥� 3-way diverter valve
鈥� 3-way selector valve
Can be used as a:
鈥� 4-way fully ported valve
鈥� Dual 2-way valves
听(one N.O. & one N.C.)
鈥� Dual 3-way valves with听common exhaust
听(one N.O. & one N.C.)
Can be used as a:
鈥� 6-way fully ported valve
鈥� Dual 2-way normally closed valve
鈥� Dual 2-way normally open valve
鈥� Dual 3-way normally closed valve
鈥� Dual 3-way normally open valve
鈥� Dual selector valve

Key Points to Actuator Methods:

听 鈥⑻鼸ach Valve needs 2 Actuators

听 鈥⑻齆ot all Actuators can be combined
听 听 on same valve 听听(8 ports max)

听听鈥⑻齅inimum Pressure for Pilots:
听 听 听With Spring = 40 PSIG Minimum
听 听 听Without 听Spring = 20 PSIG Minimum
听 听 听Lower pressure pilots available

Here is where the flexibility for design and versatility of function come in: 听 Combine your base valve with 2 of the following.

Example: 听An Auxiliary Pilot and Single Air Pilot combined with a 3-Way base valve give you the R-301
