Double Valve for
Clutch-Brake Control
Ross Controls Booth C849
Ross Controls, Troy, MI, will showcase its DM2 Series D size 2 double valve for control of clutch/brake mechanisms. The 100-percent dynamically monitored
valve has complete memory, is control-reli- able and Category 4
rated for press applications. Its dirt- tolerant, wear-com- pensating poppet design pro- vides quick response and high flow capacity, and can be fitted with an optional status indicator. Use it on small gap-frame and die-cut presses, cylinder presses, small shears and on other small control-reliable pneumatic
machines.
For Category 4 control-reliable oper-
ation of double acting devices (including shear and cylinder applications), Ross offers its base-mounted Series 77 5/2 Crossmirror solenoid pilot-controlled double valves, constructed of stainless steel for long service life. Available in size
2, 4 and SAE size 4, the valves offer an optional pressure switch for external monitoring, providing for lockout and inhibiting further machine operation until the fault is corrected.
Also new: the firm’s latest additions to its safety product family–the Modu- lar L-O-X manual lockout valve(shown) and Modular L-O-X with EEZ-ON opera- tion. For flexibility, the valves can be mounted inline or as part of a modular
assembly. The Modular L-O-X with EEZ- ON operation conveniently provides a soft-start function, allowing a gradual buildup of downstream air pressure before it opens to full flow. This function allows systems with cylinders, for exam- ple, to move more slowly and safely into their normal working position before full line pressure occurs, preventing unnec- essary wear and tear.
