Tab. 1/7 shows the main structure and possible components
of the vertical stacking.
Directional control
valves
Vertical stacking,
optional
Sub−base
A pressure regulator plate with adjustable pressure regulator
can be installed between the sub−base and the valve in order
to control the force of the connected actuators. This pressure
regulator maintains an essentially constant output pressure
(secondary side) independent of supply pressure (primary
side) and air consumption.
The pressure regulator plates of the vertical stacking are
marked on the valve terminal MPA−L with the Ident. code.
This is marked on the side of the pressure regulator plate.
Using Tab. 1/8 you can identify the pressure regulator plates.
See chapter 1.5.1.
