Hand Lever

Product Details:

The Techno hand lever 1/4 5/2 is a type of pneumatic valve designed for controlling the flow of compressed air in automation systems. Here’s a detailed overview of this valve:
### Key Features
1. **Valve Type**:   - **5/2 Valve**: This refers to a 5-port, 2-position valve. It controls the flow of air to two different outputs or actuators from a single input, allowing for two different states or functions in a pneumatic system.
2. **Hand Lever Operation**:   - **Manual Control**: The valve is operated manually via a hand lever, which allows the user to shift the valve between its two positions. This is useful in applications where manual control of the air flow is needed.
3. **Port Size**:   - **1/4 Inch**: This indicates the size of the ports or connections on the valve. A 1/4 inch port size is standard for many pneumatic systems and ensures compatibility with various fittings and hoses.
4. **Flow Control**:   - **Directional Control**: The valve directs compressed air to different outputs based on the lever position, allowing for control of actuators or cylinders in the system.
5. **Mounting and Installation**:   - **Compact Design**: The valve is designed for easy mounting and integration into a pneumatic system. It typically has mounting holes or brackets for secure installation.
6. **Material and Construction**:   - **Durability**: Made from durable materials like aluminum or high-grade plastics, designed to withstand the pressures and conditions typical in pneumatic applications.
### Applications
- **Pneumatic Actuators**: Controls the operation of pneumatic cylinders or actuators in automation systems.- **Industrial Machinery**: Used in machinery that requires manual switching between two states or functions.- **Automation Systems**: Ideal for systems where manual intervention is necessary to control different parts of the process.
### Advantages
- **Manual Control**: Provides a straightforward method for controlling pneumatic flow without the need for electrical signals or automation.- **Simplicity**: Easy to operate and maintain, with fewer components compared to electronically controlled valves.- **Versatility**: Suitable for various applications where manual switching is preferred or required.
### Installation and Maintenance
- **Connection**: Ensure the correct fitting and sealing of the 1/4 inch ports to avoid leaks.- **Adjustment**: Some valves may have adjustment screws for fine-tuning the flow or pressure, depending on the specific design.- **Regular Checks**: Inspect the valve regularly for signs of wear or damage, and clean or replace components as necessary to maintain proper function.
