GLOBAL - Parker's 2-position, 3-way ball type shuttle valves are designed to fit an industry common cavities and allow flows up to 50 lpm (13 gpm) and 420 bar (6000 psi).
Parker’s family of 2-position, 3-way ball type shuttle valves feature a space and cost saving design that fits in an industry common cavity and can operate with hydraulic system flows as high as 50 lpm and pressures up to 420 bar. The simple and effective ball type construction features very fast operation with very low leak performance and is ideal for sequencing, load sensing, or communicating the highest pressure within a specific section of the hydraulic circuit.
Markets: • Aerial • Construction Equipment • Forestry Equipment • Material Handling Equipment • Miscellaneous Industrial • Miscellaneous Manufacturing • Miscellaneous Mobile
Features/Benefits: • High flow capacity • Ball type construction for maximum wear resistance and greater durability • Minimal leakage - less than 3 drops/min. • Contamination tolerant • All external parts zinc plated
Applications: • Sensing the highest pressure from two lines • Sequencing • Load Sensing • Brake actuation
Additional Technical Insight: The valve consists of a steel ball that can seal against one of two adjacent seats, providing a path from the highest pressure signal to another function. When one inlet port is pressurized, the ball or poppet is forced against the opposite seat, blocking that inlet and providing a flow path to the outlet port.
