Valves

Types-Manual:

• Handle
• Palm
• Pedal/Treadle

Operation: Manual valves are designed to be operated by direct interaction, by the pushing of a knob, pulling of a handle or stepping on a pedal. Some manual valves are greatly affected by the system operating pressure. As the pressure increases, the force required to shift the valve increases. The design of manual valves allow some degree of feathering control on your cylinders. These valves reduce the amount of air-shock to your system.

Applications:One application is to use a foot pedal valve with a spring return to operate a machining operation. You can design the system to perform the operation when the operator steps on the foot pedal. Special care must be taken to assure that the operator can not in anyway harm themselves if they accidently depress the pedal or release the pedal with or without a part in the machining operation.
