Safety & Shut-off Blocks - Airline Hydraulics

1. DESCRIPTION
1.1 GENERAL
The safety and shut-off block
is designed to protect, shutoff,
and discharge hydraulic
accumulators or user units.
The compact design simplifies
the hydrualic system
connection and offers the
following advantages.
• minimum space compared
to individual elements
• reduced installation time
• various system connections
• system lockout
It incorporates these features:
1 – pressure release valve
2 – pressure gauge (optional)
3 – shut-off valve
4 – manual bleed valve
5 – 2-way solenoid operated
bleed valve (optional)
In accordance with OSHA
requirements for stored
hazardous energy, HYDAC
recommends the use of its
Safety and Shut-off Block
(SAB) with solenoid operated
bleed valve. Use of the
HYDAC SAB block in your
system satisfies OSHA
regulation 29 CFR part 1910
for the accumulator.

1.2 CONSTRUCTION
The Safety and Shut-off Block
consists of a valve block, a
built-in pressure release valve,
a main shut-off valve, and a
manually operated bleed
valve. In addition, an optional
solenoid operated bleed valve
(open when de-energized) (1
allows automatic release of
the accumulator or user unit
and therefore of the hydraulic
system in an emergency or
during shut-down. The
necessary return line
connection is provided in
addition to the gauge
connection.
1.3 CONNECTIONS
The Safety and Shut-off Block
has the following connections:
S – Accumulator Connection
P – System Connection
T – Tank Connection
M1 – Gauge Connection
