Roller Lever Operated Valves 3 & 5 Way G1/8 Ports.
Pneumatic roller lever valves are used for the mechanical sensing of moving parts within machine automation. The valve is operated by detecting the linear or rotary movement of machine parts which then strike the roller lever, in-turn causing the valve to operate.
The roller wheel is positioned at the end of the lever arm which rotates in the direction of the moving part; this reduces the wear and tear of both the pneumatic roller lever and the machine part, for this reason they are a preferred mechanical method of sensing.
Pneumatic roller lever valves are constructed from a die-cast zinc aluminium alloy which is machined then lacquered offering strength and reliability. We offer a 3/2 way, or a 5/2 way valve design with G1/8 threaded connections.
Two lever types can be ordered - one way roller levers actuate in one direction only, or two way roller levers which actuate the valve in both directions. A spring or an air pilot return can be ordered as standard, a double roller lever can also be ordered which can be used on machine carriages to reverse the direction of travel.
