Custom Valve Built to Read an Exterior Load Scale
Custom V alve Built to Read an Exterior Load Scale Customer Application: A world-wide manufacturer of exterior load scales contacted Pneumadyne for a new valve that would ?t their existing protective case. To meet the actuation requirements of the application, Pneumadyne engineers suggested a push-pull operator to replace the customer’s existing toggle. The new operator would allow the user to pull the knob to read the scale’s gauge. Closing the door of the case would then push the valve knob in, exhausting the gauge and protecting it during over-the-road travel. Application Requirements: Push-pull operation Port locations needed to match existing punch outs in the case Limited space available Withstand extreme temperature variation Heavy duty Pneumadyne’s Solution: After reviewing the app
