Taking the guesswork out of logic circuits

Second Quarter 2005 Hydraulic systems & components

Typical logic circuits employ differential area, 2-way poppet valves, where the combined pressures at all ports, plus or minus the spring forces, determine whether the valve is open or closed. On the other hand, whether the valve is open or closed determines the combination of pressures ... so where do you begin?

Sun's 4-port balanced logic switching elements take the guesswork out of logic circuitry. These 2-way poppet valves, offered in either normally open or normally closed configurations, are unaffected by pressure at the work ports. Available in four sizes with flow rates from 60 to 480 litres per minute. All ports can accommodate 35 MPa. Twenty-five different functions are available. Visit Sun's website to learn more: www.sunhydraulics.com. Sun Hydraulics is represented locally by Axiom Hydraulics.
