Challenge:

A manufacturer of automotive lift devices contacted Pneumadyne to re-design a component used in their pneumatic circuit. Their previous valve consisted of four plastic components which were prone to breaking in the device. Although simple in design, the valve had to control the amount of flow allowed into the lift in order to control the speed of the lift.Requirements:

  • Durable
  • Easy to install
  • Able to control the speed of the lift

Solution:

After reviewing the pneumatic circuitry of the lift, Pneumadyne engineers were able to condense the customer’s existing assembly into one durable, easy-to-install component. Features include:

  • Fixed oritice check valve
  • Right angle configuration
  • 1/4" and 8mm puch-to-connect ports
  • Bulkhead style for direct installation

Benefits:

  • Durable, long lasting design
  • Push-to-connect ports for easy installation
  • Fixed oritice check valve allows user to control the speed of the lift

Other Applications:

  • Medical 
  • Packaging
  • Conveying
