Type 2371-11
The pressure p
= 6 bar applied to the pneu-
V
matic unit opens the valve. This causes the
plug stem to move together with the plug out
of the valve seat and opens the valve.
How to proceed:
1. Connect the pressure hose with min.
6 mm diameter to the G
2. Apply a pressure p
matic unit. This causes the set point screw
(6) to move and the plug to move out of
the valve seat and opens the valve.
3. To switch the valve back to its control
function, remove the pressure p
to return the pressure back to atmospher-
ic pressure.
4. The spring (16) pulls the actuating unit
back, allowing the plug stem to move
again for the control task.
