PARKER N35461091 Pilot Air Control Valve, 3-Way / 2-Position, 3/4 Inch Valve Port Size

Parker N35461091 pilot air control valve is ideal for regulating the flow of compressed air within systems, enabling precise control over equipment operation. These valves manage the activation and deactivation of pneumatic actuators, cylinders and other devices, ensuring smooth and accurate movement. It is ideal for manufacturing processes, automation and machinery control.

Working Mechanism:

• Parker N35461091 pilot air control valve operates by responding to an air pilot signal. In its default position, it either allows or blocks the flow of compressed air based on its design.
• When a pilot signal of 25 psi is applied, the valve shifts to an actuated position, enabling the flow of compressed air through the appropriate ports.
• This precise control is crucial for industrial applications, ensuring accurate and efficient activation of pneumatic devices like cylinders and actuators.
• Releasing or reducing the pilot pressure returns the valve to its default position, stopping the flow of compressed air and maintaining control over the system.

Features:

• Parker N35461091 pilot air control valve has a 3/4-inch valve port size, allowing a maximum flow rate of 10 cfm and ensuring efficient airflow control.
• It features aluminium bar construction for lightweight & durable performance.
• This valve offers a wide operating temperature ranging from 0 to 125 degrees F for diverse environmental conditions.
• It further features a 1/4-inch NPT pilot port size, enabling precise air pilot signal control for smooth device activation.
• This pilot air control valve is capable of handling a maximum operating pressure of 140 psi, ensuring reliable performance under varying pressure conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions:
