2588 Driller’s Valve Kobelt Manufacturing Co. Ltd. NOTES RECORD DATA BEFORE INSTALLATION FOR FUTURE REFERENCE Model #: Serial #: Date of Purchase: Date of Installation: Rev A mnl_2588.docx 2 of 20...
This document is intended to clearly present comprehensive product data and provide technical information to assist the end user in design applications. Kobelt reserves the right, without notice, to change the design, or construction, of any products and to discontinue or limit distribution of any products.
Pinch Points: The 2588 driller’s valve contains pinch points, which can cause bodily harm. Ensure that hands and fingers remain clear of the pinch points when performing work. High Pressure Fluids: The 2588 driller’s valve uses compressed air.
ESCRIPTION VERVIEW The Kobelt 2588 driller’s valve permits proportional control of air applied brakes. The operator’s handle turns a cam which depresses a spring-loaded valve stem. Pressure output is proportional to the handle movement with the maximum output achieved when the handle is fully depressed.
2588 Driller’s Valve Kobelt Manufacturing Co. Ltd. ASIC PERATING RINCIPLE The purpose of the pressure compensating regulator is to provide an infinitely variable output pressure signal. There is a direct relation between the mechanical input stem position and the amount of accumulated air in the control system.
-40°F…+140°F [-40 °C… + 60 °C] Weight: 33 lbs [15 kg] ODEL The 2588 driller’s valve can be configured to have various pressure springs and one or two sperate outputs. Below is a key defining the letter code options: CHEMATIC YMBOL Rev A mnl_2588.docx...
ONNECTIONS To make the proper piping connections at the control valve, refer to the diagram below. The 2588-D control valve is equipped with four 1/4 NPT pressure ports. The exhaust ports do not need to be connected. Install the port fittings using thread sealant and tighten to 2 - 3 turns from finger tight.
Kobelt 2588 control valves are equipped with “U” cups and “O” rings and therefore require lubrication in order to provide long service life. Unlubricated seals will have excessive friction and wear. The oil that is required for the lubricator should be a hydraulic type with a viscosity grade of 10 to 32 centistokes.
RAKE YSTEM Below is a piping diagram depicting how to utilize the Kobelt 2588 Driller’s valve in a hoist braking system. When implementing the two-channel 2588-D valve, it is recommended to plumb through a Barksdale 9001-M-G-D diverter valve to alternate the braking between the two discs at light loads. The diverter valve must have an open center position spool.
2588 Driller’s Valve Kobelt Manufacturing Co. Ltd. OMMISSIONING DJUSTMENT The control head is adjusted at the factory and, as such, will not require any further adjustment after installation. UNCTIONAL Do not put the unit into service until it has been tested.
Appendix B for a complete list of parts. When purchasing spare parts refer to Appendix B: Parts List at the back of this manual for Kobelt component Part Numbers. It is recommended that any required service work on a Kobelt unit be performed by a factory authorized service representative.
Buyer. Kobelt’s sole obligation to the Applicant will be to repair or replace the defective part with same or similar product, to a maximum value of the list price of the product or part. The Kobelt warranty does not cover labour charges, travel or any other associated expenses.
