Directional Control Air Valves & Accessories

SERIES P VALVESLAPPED SPOOL VALVESThe heart of the Series P valve is the packless bodyand spool assembly constructed of aluminum witha ceramic hard aluminum oxide finish. This uniquecartridge and spool assembly is completely isolatedfrom external forces; is pressure balanced, allowingany port to be pressurized or subjected to backpressure with no effect on shifting force, and hasbeen designed to meet the most stringent requirementsthat today’s customers demand. All SeriesP valves are inline, and all can be manifolded. Thisseries is manufactured to the highest quality standardsin the industry today and all carry a three yearwarranty on all parts of the valve, including the coil.No lubrication; extremely fast shifting coupled withvery low minimum pilot pressure, a variety ofoptions and all at a low cost.CONSTRUCTION:• Body, End Caps & Manifolds: AnodizedAluminum• Cartridge & Spool: Hard Coated Aluminum• Coils: Molded Nylon• O-Rings: Buna N (Nitrile)LUBRICATION:NONE REQUIRED - However a general purposelubricating oil may be used if desired. In thesecases, we recommend ASTM/ISO viscosity GradeFILTRATION:A 40 micron filter is recommended.32.WARRANTY:Series P valves are covered by a three yearwarranty from date of purchase.Series A & Spriteare covered by a 90-day warranty. All provisionsof our standard warranty policy (available uponrequest) apply.OPERATING PRESSURES:• Internal Pilot (Standard): 10 P.S.I. to 150 P.S.I.• External Pilot: Vacuum to 150 P.S.I.NOTE: External Pilot Supply of at least 10 P.S.I.required for vacuum service.MOUNTING:All Series P Valves have no limitations as far asthe orientation of the valve. Coils can be rotatedin any direction for ease of installation.CYCLE RATE:Series P Valves may be cycled at over 2000cycles per minute in most applications.OPTIONS:Include hard wired coils; factory assembly ofvalves to manifolds; a variety of plug connectors;pre-installed AQ push-in fittings, and many otherpopular options.SERIES A & SPRITE VALVESSeries P Spool AssemblyAlkon Series A and Sprite II valves have been designed to comply with the ever more stringentrequirements for increased production rates through higher speeds and component reliability.The heart of these valves is a packless spool body and spool assembly constructed of aluminumwith a ceramic hard aluminum oxide finish. Ground and matched to precision tolerances, its operationis virtually frictionless.Benefits of this packless design begin with the elimination of dynamic seals and their incumbentdifficulties. Fast response allows increased machine cycle rates; non-lube operation reduces scheduledmaintenance requirements. The body and spool assembly is pressure balanced, allowing any port tobe pressurized or subjected to back pressure with no effect on spool shifting force. Exhaust portmufflers or speed controls may be used with no effect on valve response.The unique body and spool assembly has been completely isolated from external forces by use of apatented 3-point suspension. This assembly, coupled with a complete variety of actuators andmounting alternatives, provides the highest level of performance and versatility found in the air valveindustry.12VALVE FEATURES• Packless design• Fast Response• Operate with or without lubrication• Can be subbase, manifold or cylinder mounted
