Modular Valve Line Overview

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

Modular Series Base Valves

Can be used as a:
• 2-way normally closed valve
• 2-way normally open valve
• 3-way normally closed valve
• 3-way normally open valve
• 3-way diverter valve
• 3-way selector valve
Can be used as a:
• 4-way fully ported valve
• Dual 2-way valves
Ìý(one N.O. & one N.C.)
• Dual 3-way valves withÌýcommon exhaust
Ìý(one N.O. & one N.C.)
Can be used as a:
• 6-way fully ported valve
• Dual 2-way normally closed valve
• Dual 2-way normally open valve
• Dual 3-way normally closed valve
• Dual 3-way normally open valve
• Dual selector valve
* and are exceptions to the Basic 3 Ìý

Key Points to the Modular Line:

ÌýÌý•ÌýAll Valves are Universally Ported
Ìý Ìý Ìý Ìý (There is not a required directionÌý
Ìý Ìý Ìý Ìý Ìý Ìýfor flow through the valve ports)

ÌýÌý•ÌýUse Any Compatibles FluidÌý
Ìý •ÌýFlow is 9 SCFM at 100 PSIG

Key Points to Actuator Methods:

Ìý •ÌýEach Valve needs 2 Actuators

Ìý •ÌýNot all Actuators can be combined
Ìý Ìý on same valve ÌýÌý(8 ports max)

ÌýÌý•ÌýMinimum Pressure for Pilots:
Ìý Ìý ÌýWith Spring = 40 PSIG Minimum
Ìý Ìý ÌýWithout ÌýSpring = 20 PSIG Minimum
Ìý Ìý ÌýLower pressure pilots available

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

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