Operation

It is often necessary to provide a secondary reduced pressure to an actuator to control its operating force. A pressure reducing fitting provides this function, which can be manually adjusted to the required pressure level. The relieving function gives a safety feature satisfying EN983 (Safety of Machinery) regarding protection under external loads. This states that a means shall be provided to prevent unacceptable pressure build-up where high external loads are reflected on actuators.

Operating pressure

1… 16 bar (14 … 232 psi)
(primary)
1 … 8 bar (14 …. 116 psi)
(secondary)

Thread size

G1/8, G1/4, G3/8, G1/2

Ambient/Media temperature

-10°C … +70°C (+14 … +158°F)
Air supply must be dry enough to avoid ice formation at temperatures below +2°C (+35°F).
