Three functions (pressure regulator, switching valve, and speed controller) are provided by a single valve. The conventional valve combination circuit has been condensed into a single valve. A large capacity and economical system. This valve provides twice the system capacity of the conventional circuit. Therefore, it is possible to downsize 1 or sizes (for example, a conventional 3A circuit can be changed to a 5A or a A). It is economical, as its performance cost (system price/effective area) is one half of the conventional type. (Comparison based on SMC data.)

Power Valve: Economy Valve Series 5 Energy-saving Lifter Simple Two economy valves and a tank move the double-acting cylinder to raise and lower heavy objects. Energy-saving The balancing air reciprocates between the lower cylinder chamber and the tank, thus not being consumed. Low pressure air alone is exhausted from the upper chamber in every cycle, so the air consumption is reduced to to 3% of the air consumption by the double acting cylinder with an ordinary change over valve. Excellent operation control The economy valve sets pressure and permits high speed and low speed operation as well as suspension of operation. While the piston moves up and down, the valve controls speed change in the middle of strokes, terminal deceleration, inching, and emergency stops. Simple operation The system is composed of a small regulator and solenoid valve (which is unnecessary for solenoid style), remote controls the economy valve. Therefore, change in the system sequence allows selection of a cylinder operation mode.

Series 5 Basic Type/Construction/Working Principle/Component Parts 1. 3 (R) (A) Reduced pressure supply Note) With this valve, the port 3 (R) is a supply port and port 1 (P) is an exhaust port.. Closed center 3. (A) 1 (P) Throttled exhaust When the solenoid valve a is energized (or when pressure is applied to the port of the air operated type) while the port is under the pressure, reduced pressure is supplied from the port 3 (R) to the port (A). The acting force of the pressure (port ) reaches the space under the pressure control piston e pushes the piston upward and opens the poppet valve y. Thus air is supplied from the port 3 (R) to the port (A). The air entering through the port (A) flows through the feedback passage to the space above the piston, and when its pressure balances with the pressure under the pressure control piston, the poppet valve closes, thus setting the port (A) pressure corresponding to the pressure (port ). (port pressure: port (A) pressure = 1:1) When the reduced pressure is supplied from 3 (R) to (A), air will not be exhausted from (A) to 1 (P) even when the pressure (port ) is larger than the port (A) pressure. When neither the solenoid valves a or b is energized (or when no pressure is applied to the ports and of the air operated type), no acting force is applied to the pressure control piston e and operation piston o, and the spring r closes both poppet valves y, thus the valves assume the closed center position. While the port (A) is being pressurized, air will not be released even if electrical power to the solenoid valve a is turned off (or pressure is released from the port of the air operated type). When the solenoid valve b is energized while pressure is in the port (or when the pressure is applied to the port of the air operated type), an acting force generated above the operation piston o pushes the operation piston down, and thus the port 1 (P) and port (A) are connected. At that time, the lower poppet valve y opens by the degree preset by the needle!1. (Counterclockwise rotation of the needle opens the poppet valve.) The upper and lower poppet valves operate independently. When the solenoid valves a and b are energized alternately (or when pressure is applied to the ports and of the air operated style alternately), the supplied reduced pressure (3 (R) (A)) can be throttled and exhausted ( (A) 1 (P)).

(A) 1 (P) Throttled exhaust When the solenoid valve a is energized (or when pressure is applied to the port of the air operated type) while the port is under the pressure, reduced pressure is supplied from the port 3 (R) to the port (A). The acting force of the pressure (port ) reaches the space under the pressure control piston e pushes the piston upward and opens the poppet valve y. Thus air is supplied from the port 3 (R) to the port (A). The air entering through the port (A) flows through the feedback passage to the space above the piston and when its pressure balances with the pressure under the pressure control piston, the poppet valve closes, thus setting the port (A) pressure corresponding to the pressure (port ). (port pressure: port (A) pressure = 1:1) When the reduced pressure is supplied from 3 (R) to (A), air will not be exhausted from (A) to 1 (P) even when the pressure (port ) is larger than the port (A) pressure. When neither the solenoid valve a nor b is energized (or when no pressure is applied to the ports and of the air operated type), no acting force is applied to the pressure control piston e and operation piston o, and the spring r closes both poppet valves y, thus the valve assumes the closed center position. While the port (A) is being pressurized, air will not be released even if electrical power to the solenoid valve a is turned off (or pressure is released from the port of the air operated type). When the solenoid valve b is energized while pressure is in the port (or when the pressure is applied to the port of the air operated type), an acting force generated above the operation piston o, and pushes down the operation piston, and thus the ports 1 (P) and (A) are connected. At that time, the lower poppet valve y fully opens. When the solenoid valves b and c are energized simultaneously while pressure is in the port (or when the pressure is applied simultaneously to the ports and P3 of the air operated type), an acting force generated above the operation piston o pushes the piston down and another acting force generated under the stopper!1 pushes up the stopper, and thus the ports 1 (P) and (A) are connected. At that time, the lower poppet valve y opens by the degree preset by the needle!. (Counterclockwise rotation of the needle opens the poppet valve.) The upper and lower poppet valves operate independently. When the solenoid valves a and b are energized alternately (or when pressure is applied alternately to the ports and of the air operated type), the supplied reduced pressure (3 (R) (A)) can be throttled and exhausted ( (A) 1 (P)). The solenoid valve c remains energized (or pressure remains applied to the port P3 of the air operated type). By turning on/off the solenoid valve c (or by supplying/exhausting pressure to/from the port P3 of the air operated type) while electric power is being supplied to the solenoid valve b (or pressure is being applied to the port of the air operated type), either throttling or fully open exhaust can be selected (decelaration/ accelaration) for the port (A) 1 (P).
