HOW MAC'S PERFORMANCE ADVANTAGES HELP MAKE YOUR EQUIPMENT MORE RELIABLE - FASTER - MORE REPEATABLE. TLD/PLD The TLD function (Traveling Lab Demonstration) measures critical valve performance characteristics • Shifting forces, Response Time, Speed, Repeatability and Flow. The PLD function (Proportional Lab Demonstration) measures critical proportional regulation characteristics ■ Response Time, Accuracy, Hysterisis, Repeatability and Flow.

High SHIFTING FORCE (Energized) - SHORT STROKE- SHIFTING FORCES unaffected by changing air pressure (IN/EXH) SHIFTING FORCES virtually unaffected by typically contaminated air Low friction minimizes resistance to SHIFTING FORCES High SHIFTING FORCE (De-energized) - STRONG RETURN SPRING - Consult out monuol lot the use, instollotion ond mointenonte ol out Hot Volves (see genetol catalog).

(A) SOLENOID DE-ENERGIZED(B) SOLENOID ENERGIZED Sequence of events (A) • Solenoid is de-energized (B) - Solenoid is energized - Armature is attracted magnetically downwards, extending push pin which shifts poppet from upper to lower seat. - Movable pole piece is ottrocted magnetically upwards to meet the armature which compensates for difference between solenoid stroke and shorter valve stroke. Armature and pole piece therefore close regardless of valve position. • Short stroke solenoid produces high energization shifting force. • High force return spring due to high force solenoid,...

typical UNBALANCED poppet 3-way air valve SKINNER TYPE ASCO TYPE Armature poppet seal Weak return spring UNBALANCED POPPET = INCONSISTENT LOW SHIFTING FORCES • Spring force (holding poppet on seat) is constant. • Inlet oir pressure acts upon a single sealing area. • Inlet pressure X sealing area creotes a force that opposes return spring shifting force. • Force created by inlet air pressure on inlet poppet seal varies as inlet air pressure varies. • Changing inlet pressures therefore affect energizing and de-energizing shifting forces. • Normal pressure fluctuations cause inconsistent...

BALANCED POPPET = CONSISTENT HIGH SHIFTING FORCES Exhaust Contaminants Isolated From Solenoid Parts = Clean Solenoid • Sealing areas ore equal • End seals balance poppet seals • Forces created by air pressure are equal in both directions • Changing pressure therefore has no effect on shifting forces • Valve shifting forces are consistent and independent of pressure fluctuations • High solenoid ond return spring forces ensure high speed and precise repeatability • Exhaust contaminants are isolated from the solenoid • Manual override - standard • Constant high flow maintained throughout the...

SMALL DIRECT SOLENOID POPPET VALVE |k ADVANTAGES • 4 balanced poppets on a one-piece valve stem • End poppets seal first on conicol seats ond cushion inlet poppet, eliminating cutting • Exhaust seals are not under inlet pressure thus reducing friction • Integral non-rising flow controls available • Short stroking balanced poppet allows for direct solenoid operation with high shifting forces, minimized friction, fast response and high flow in a small package
