Solenoid valves handle diverse environments
The Type 6027 is a direct-acting (2/2 and 3/2 NO and NC) range of solenoid valves for shut-off, dosing, filling and ventilating tasks as well as vacuum applications.
The machine enables two tyres to be simultaneously inflated to pressures around 379kPa, in order to seat the tyre's bead on the rim.
Once the bead is safely located, the unit bleeds air from the tyre to a predetermined race pressure of around 138kPa.
A series of warning lights indicate the stage that the process has reached, with a complete cycle taking 60s.
The automatic tyre inflation unit allows tyre technicians to stay clear of the tyres during inflation, making the whole process safer and more convenient. Request free introductory details about products from Burkert Fluid Control Systems ...
