Single & Double Acting
FEATURES: Use individual clamping valves to clamp several workpieces independently with a single power source. 4-Way Clamping Valves can be used to control either double-acting or singleacting clamps. These high-quality valves have a zero-leakage poppet design, with a built-in check valve. Available either with a mounting base (for installation with standard 1/4" BSPP fittings and exposed fluid lines) or without a base (for manifold mounting using the O-ring ports underneath the valve).
OPERATION: The DC-solenoid-operated valve shown here is controlled electrically, for use in automated systems. Clamp and unclamp automatically using electrical signals from a machine-tool controller. Stays clamped even if electrical power fails, because the solenoid is deenergized in clamped position. Two solenoidoperated 3-way valves can be used together to control a double-acting system.
MODELS AVAILABLE: Standard valve configuration is 24 volts DC, 4-way, normal position open (clamped), with a check valve installed — see Dimensions page for part numbers.
MOUNTING WITH STANDARD FITTINGS: To use standard fittings, order clamping valve with mounting base (base has three 1/4" BSPP ports, in addition to one 1/4" BSPP port on the valve). Fasten valve to fixture using the four tapped mounting holes underneath the base. Mount in any position, horizontal or vertical.
MANIFOLD MOUNTING: For manifold mounting, order clamping valve without mounting base (use the three O-ring ports underneath the valve). Mounting holes and manifold passages must be drilled exactly as shown in the drawings. Fasten valve to fixture using the four mounting screws furnished.
FLUID CONNECTION: Clamping valve has four ports:| | P = Pressure into valve from power source | | | T = Return from valve to power source | | | A = Flow from valve to clamps, clamping | | | B = Flow from valve to clamps, unclamping |
Port connections and flow directions must be exactly as shown on the drawings; otherwise the valve will not function correctly. Use only with clean, approved hydraulic fluid (CLR-2-FL or equivalent). Fluid must be kept clean (10 micron or better nominal filtration). Do not use NPT fittings. |
