FAQs
The M/1704/87 is designed for easy integration with Pneufit C push-in fittings, including straight and 90° swivel elbow options, and supports sub-base mounting to minimize installation downtime. The data includes C02471248 and C02251248 fittings, making it straightforward to configure tubing runs with 12 mm ports and G1/2 threads.
Key performance specs include a 3200 l/m flow, operating pressure range of 2–10 bar (29–145 psi), and an operating temperature range of -20 to 80 °C (-4 to 176 °F). Port size is G1/2, and actuation is Lever/Lever/Lever with an APB function, suitable for multiple actuation points on automation lines.
Yes. The APB 5/3 operation, coupled with an air assisted detent for positive valve location, supports precise indexing and rapid cycling. Its compact dimensions (200 x 200 x 50 mm) and sub-base mounting also help fit into tight packaging automation layouts while maintaining reliable timing.
Maintenance benefits include simple servicing and sub-base mounting that reduces downtime during repairs. The valve uses a zinc body with nitrile seals, which provides durable performance in standard compressed air systems. Routine checks should confirm seal integrity and clean supply air to preserve performance and longevity.
