The 3MV8 switch valve from Bimba in the United States is a 3-way pilot-controlled valve.
In terms of operation, by rotating the ball handle past the groove on the valve body, the directional flow of air can be controlled. Moreover, the handle can be fixed in any position, offering convenient operation. It has a flow rate of 0.14 Cv and port specifications of 1/8" NPT, making it compatible with common air circuit connections. Its operating temperature ranges from -40°F to 250°F, enabling it to adapt to various environments. The pressure range is from 0 to 150 PSI (for air only), meeting the pressure requirements of most pneumatic systems. The sealing material is nitrile rubber, ensuring reliable sealing.
This valve is suitable for controlling single-acting cylinders. It can precisely regulate the direction and on-off of airflow. In automated production lines and pneumatic equipment, it enables precise control over cylinder movements, facilitating efficient and stable operation of the equipment. Being lightweight at only 0.22 pounds, it is easy to install and does not add excessive burden.
