Traditionally, standard valves apply the same pressure for extending and retracting double acting cylinders. However, this newENERGYSAVER® valve revolutionizes the way cylinders are controlled,by reducing the cylinder retract pressure. The Series W60 ENERGYSAVER® 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.
