MODEL Pilot-to-close, spring biased closed, unbalanced poppet logic element
LODC SERIES 1 / CAPACITY: 25 gpm / CAVITY: T-11A
[Link]/LODC
CONFIGURATION
X Control Not Adjustable These unbalanced, pilot-to-close logic valves are 2-way switching elements that are spring biased closed. Pressure
D Cracking Pressure 50 psi (3,5 bar) at either work port 1 or 2 will oppose the spring and tend to open the valve while pressure at port 3 will tend to
close it. The force generated at port 3, plus the spring force, must be greater than the sum of the forces acting at

TECHNICAL FEATURES
These valves have positive seals between port 2 and the pilot area.
Because these valves are unbalanced, operation is pressure dependent. Opening and closing of the poppet are functions of the force balances on three areas: Port
1 = 100%, Port 2 = 80%, and the Pilot Area = 180%.
These valves are pressure responsive at all ports, therefore it is essential to consider all aspects of system operation through a complete cycle. Pressure changes at
any one port may cause a valve to switch from a closed to an open position, or vice versa. All possible pressure changes in the complete circuit must be considered
to assure a safe, functional system design.
All ports will accept 5000 psi (350 bar).
Corrosion resistant cartridge valves are intended for use in corrosive environments and are identified by the model code suffix /AP for external stainless steel
components, or /LH for external zinc-nickel plated components. See the CONFIGURATION section for all options. For further details, please see the Materials of
Construction page located under TECH RESOURCES.
Incorporates the Sun floating style construction to minimize the possibility of internal parts binding due to excessive installation torque and/or cavity/cartridge
machining variations.
