5.3 Function The angle seat valve VZXA-...-K is an externally controlled 2/2-directional control valve with piston actuator. The valve seat is slanted around 40 toward the medium flow. To close the valve, the valve actuator using the actuator rod presses the valve disc into the valve seat in a force fit. The supply of the operating medium is controlled by an external valve (usually electrically controlled) that must be additionally integrated into the supply line for the actuator. The actuator can be rotated 360 on the valve housing. Flow over valve seat The valve is closed by spring force with the medium flow. Medium pressure supports the valve closing. Opening the valve with operating pressure. Only suitable for gaseous media, because when incompressible media are used, pressure surges are caused in the piping. Flow under valve seat The valve is closed by spring force or with operating pressure against the medium flow. Medium pressure supports the valve opening. In certain constructions, medium pressure that is too high or operating pressure that is too low can lead to the valve not completely closing. Control function Single-acting Double-acting Warning Risk of injury due to slipping or falling objects! The angle seat valve can weigh up to 5.75 kg, depending on the product version. Body parts can be crushed. In overhead installations, the result can be serious head injuries. Secure angle seat valve against falling or slipping using appropriate means of securing. 1. Bring the angle seat valve into the mounting position. Observe the flow direction. The permitted direction of flow is marked by an arrow on the valve housing. 2. Connect the piping on the valve housing. Max. tightening torque Fig. 5. 3. Connect the line of the operating medium. Pneumatic connection (2): operating medium.

Place the valve with single-acting actuators into operation 1. Supply medium. 2. Slowly apply operating pressure to the valve. The operating pressure required for reliable switching of the valve depends on the medium pressure Fig. 10 to Fig. 25. 3. Function and direction control of the individual pneumatic actuators. Placing the valve with a double-acting actuator into operation 1. Slowly apply operating pressure to the valve. The operating pressure required for reliable switching of the valve depends on the medium pressure Fig. 10 to Fig. 25. 2. Add medium. 3. Function and direction control of the individual pneumatic actuators. For angle seat valves VZXA-...-K46-..., use only fittings Gx with max. SW14. 7.1 Installing the angle seat valve Requirements The piping system is unpressurised and no medium flows in it. Lines are clean. The line ends are mounted. Clean valve Remove all transport packaging. The material used in the packaging has been specifically chosen for its recyclability (exception: oil-impregnated paper = residual waste).
