Traditionally, standard valves apply the same pressure for extending
and retracting double acting cylinders. However, this
new ENERGYSAVERTM valve revolutionizes the way cylinders are controlled,
by reducing the cylinder retract pressure.
The Series W60 ENERGYSAVERTM valve is a 5-port, 2-position, subbase
mounted valve that supplies full line pressure to port 4 and
reduced pressure (30 psig - 2 bar) to port 2. This provides full
cylinder force to move the load, but returns the cylinder with less
pressure thus reducing your compressed air consumption by up to
30%. Although reduced, the pressure in port 2 is enough for quick
return of the cylinder. The energy saving function is accomplished
by action of the spool and works as quickly as a pressure regulator.
ADVANTAGES:
- Reduces compressed air consumption up to 30%.
- Replaces conventional ISO 5599/I valves without any adaptation.
- Spool & sleeve construction for long valve life.
- Leakage in cylinder and fittings reduced due to low applied pressure.
- Noise reduction.
- Extends life of cylinders and other equipment
