FEATURES: Extremely compact valve arrangement for double-acting clamps (can also be use for single-acting clamps). Use individual 4-way clamping valves to clamp several workpieces independently with a single power source. These high-quality valves have a zero-leakage poppet design, with a built-in check valve.
MODELS AVAILABLE: Manifold assemblies are available with 1 to 8 clamping valves — see Dimensions page for part numbers.
OPERATION: Hand-operated valves are each controlled by a hand knob that can be turned 360° in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions, with a detent position every 90°. To clamp or unclamp, turn knob 90° in either direction.
MOUNTING: Fasten manifold using the tapped mounting holes underneath the series blocks. Mount in any position, horizontal or vertical.
FLUID CONNECTION: Clamping-Valve Manifolds have the following ports:
P = Pressure into manifold from power source
T = Return from manifold to power source
A = Flow from valve to clamps, clamping
(one per valve)
B = Flow from valve to clamps, unclamping
(one per valve)
Port connections and flow directions must be exactly as shown on the drawings; otherwise the valves 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.
