Operation Principles VNA 0, (N.C.) When the pilot solenoid valve is not energized (or when air is exhausted from the P port of the air operated style),the valve element linked to the piston is closed by the return spring. When valve element opens When the pilot solenoid valve is energized (or when pressuried air enters through the P port of the air operated style), the pilot air that has entered under the piston moves it upward to open the valve element. When valve element opens When the power to the pilot solenoid valve is turned off (or when air is exhausted from the P port of the air operated style), the pilot air under the piston is exhausted, and the return spring closes the valve element. VNA 0, (N.O.) In contrast with the N.C., when the power to the pilot solenoid valve is turned off (or when air is exhausted from the P port of the air operated style), the valve is held open by the return spring. When the pilot solenoid valve is energized (or when pressurized air enters through the P port of the air operated style), the valve element closes. VNA 03 (C.O.) The valve element of the C.O. type, which has no return spring, is in an arbitary position when air is exhausted through the P and P ports. When pressurized air enters the P port (exhaust from the P port), the valve element opens, and it closes when pressurized air enters the P port (exhaust from the P port).

Piping Caution To use the piping with a high temperature fluid, use heat resistant fittings and tubes. (Self-align fittings, Teflon tube copper pipe, etc.) Teflon is a registered trademark of Dupont. Use with Air-hydro Unit Warning.Piping When operation is suspended, surge pressure will be generated between the cylinder and VNA A. To directly thread in the cylinder, use durable fittings (SUS square nipples etc,) instead of ductile iron fittings (JIS B 30) or steel pipe fittings (JIS B 30). When VNA A is to be installed away from the cylinder, use a high-pressure rubber hose (JIS B 6349) instead of steel pipe as much as possible. Caution.Air bleeding Valves of Series VNA have no air bleeding port. Bleed air from the middle piping. Bleeding by a vaccum pump is more effective..hydraulic fluid Turbine oil, Grade, ISO VG3, with petroleum hydraulic fluid is recommended. 3.Speed control valve The combination shown in the following table is recommended to bring the best of Series VNA.
