VALVE-IN-HEAD ® CYLINDERS

TYPE AVSA A continuous electrical contact is required to fully extend the rod, which will remain extended until the electrical contact is broken. An external force is required to return the rod to its original position. A 1/8” N.P.T. port is provided in the front head to permit the return of the rod by means of a separate air supply when required. This port can also be used to install a Flow Control Valve to control forward speed. Standard stroke lengths are whole inch increments from 1" through 20” and 1/2", 1-1/2", 2-1/2" and 3-1/2" . Special strokes available from 1/8” to 80” maximum. TYPE AVSR ROD NORMALLY RETRACTED A continuous electrical contact is required to fully extend the rod, which will remain extended until the electrical contact is broken. An internal spring will return the rod to its fully retracted position. SPRING FORCE: 17 LBS. AT REST, 40 LBS. FULL STROKE. Standard stroke lengths are whole inch increments from 1" through 10” and 1/2", 1-1/2", 2-1/2" & 3-1/2”. Special strokes available from 1/4” to 10” maximum. TYPE AVSRR ROD NO

DOUBLE PILOT MODEL AP This model incorporates a 4-way Double Pressure Pilot Valve. A momentary or maintained pilot pressure applied to one side of the valve will move the rod its full stroke. The rod will remain in that position under pressure until a pilot pressure is applied to the other side, which will cause the rod to return to its original position. If a maintained pilot pressure is applied, it must be released before the other pilot pressure is applied. Pilot pressure must be at least 25% of the operating pressure. Bore Sizes Available: 1-1/8”, 1-1/2”, 2”, 2-1/2”, 3”, 4” & *5”. * 5” BORE AVAILABLE-Consult Factory for Details.

SINGLE PILOT MODEL APSR Models incorporate a 4-way Single Pressure Pilot Valve. A continuous pilot pressure applied to “IN” side of valve will move rod its full stroke. When the pilot pressure is released, the rod will return to its original position. Pilot pressure is normally supplied through an optional N.C. Valve.   Models can be supplied with the rod normally retracted (pilot pressure to extend rod) or normally extended (pilot pressure to retract rod). The pilot pressure must be at least 75% of the operating pressure. Bore Sizes Available: 1-1/8“, 1-1/2“, 2”, 2-1/2“, 3”, 4” & *5”. * 5” BORE AVAILABLE-Consult Factory for Details.

DOUBLE SOLENOID MODEL SDS Models incorporate a 4-way Double Solenoid Pressure Pilot Valve. A momentary or maintained electrical contact applied to one solenoid will move the rod its full stroke. The rod will remain there under pressure until the other solenoid is energized, which will cause the rod to return to its original position. If a maintained contact is employed, the first solenoid must be de-energized before the other is energized. The standard solenoid operator is the AAS splice box housing. Bore Sizes Available: 1-1/8”, 1-1/2”, 2”, 2-1/2”, 3”, 4” & *5”. Voltages: 12, 24, 120 & 240/60 AC and 6, 12 & 24VDC are standard. * 5” BORE AVAILABLE-Consult Factory for Details.    

DOUBLE PILOT MODEL SVA This model incorporates a 4-way Double Bleed Pilot Valve. A Bleeder Valve, such as the Allenair BV100 or BV-1/8 (to be ordered separately) must be connected to each spool cap. Depressing one Bleeder Valve momentarily will move the rod its full stroke. Depressing the other Bleeder Valve momentarily will return the rod to its original position. Bore Sizes Available: 1 1/8”, 1-1/2”, 2”, 2-1/2”, 3”, 4” & *5”. * 5” BORE AVAILABLE-Consult Factory for Details.   MANUALLY OPERATED The following 3 models incorporate a 4-way Manual Valve.

MODEL VH: This model requires manual operation of the lever to both extend and retract the rod. MODEL VHSRR: This model is lever operated to extend the normally retracted rod. The valve is equipped with a built-in air return which automatically retracts the rod when lever is released. MODEL VHSRE: This model is lever operated to retract the normally extended rod. The valve is equipped with a built-in air return which automatically extends the rod when leve

SINGLE SOLENOID MODEL SVEVA These models incorporate a 4-way Single Solenoid Double Bleed Pilot Valve. A momentary (NOT continuous) electrical contact is re- quired to move the rod its full stroke. A Bleeder Valve, such as the Allenair BV100 or BV-1/8 (to be ordered separately), must be con- nected to the spool cap opposite the solenoid. Depressing this Bleeder Valve momentarily will return the rod to its original position. Models can be supplied with the rod normally retracted (electrical contact will extend rod) or normally extended (electrical contact will retract rod). The standard solenoid operator, as shown is the AAS splice box housing. Bore Sizes Available: 1-1/8”, 1-1/2”, 2”, 2-1/2”, 3”, 4” & *5”.

SINGLE PILOT MODEL VAR AUTOMATIC RETURN Models incorporate a 4-way Double Bleed Pilot Valve. A momentary (NOT continuous) actuation of Bleeder Valve is required to move the rod its full stroke. Upon reaching its FULL stroke, the rod will automatically return to its original position.   Models can be supplied with the rod normally retracted (manual bleed to extend rod) or normally extended (manual bleed to retract rod). Due to internal construction and application requirements, there can be a loss of approximately 1/8” to 1/4” of stroke.   Bleeder Valve Model BV100 is supplied on these models. Bore Sizes Available: 1-1/2“, 2”, 2-1/2”, 3” & 4”.

AUTOMATIC RECIPROCATING MODEL VCR This model incorporates a 4-way Double Bleed Pilot Valve. By means of Built-in Bleeder Valves and internal Cam Bosses, this unit will automatically reciprocate as soon as air pressure is applied. Because of this, it is recommended that a shut-off valve be mounted in the inlet line. Due to internal construction and application requirements, there can be a loss of approximately 1/4” to 1/2” of stroke. Minimum stroke available is 1/2”. Bore Sizes Available: 1-1/2”, 2”, 2-1/2”, 3” & 4”.

TYPE AV All Type “AV” Cylinders, with the exception of the 4” bore are constructed using “O”-Ring Seals. The 4” bore uses “O”- Ring Rod Seals and “U”-Cup Piston Seals. Coupled with one of a wide variety of 4-way valves, these all purpose units are used for most pneumatic applications. Optional Double Rod Packing is recommended for heavy-duty applications. Pressure Rating : 20 P.S.I. Minimum 150 P.S.I. Maximum

TYPE CV Type “CV” Cylinders are constructed using low friction “U”- Cup Seals. A heavy-duty wear strip (bearing) on the piston mini- mizes friction and piston cup wear, and on side load conditions prevents metal-to-metal contact. Coupled with one of a wide variety of 4-way valves, these units are primarily used on low friction applications and where low minimum breakaway is required. Pressure Rating : 10 P.S.I. Minimum 150 P.S.I. Maximum

TYPE EV Type “EV” Cylinders are constructed using Block-Vee Seals and include a heavy-duty wear strip on the piston and double rod seals in the front head. Coupled with one of a wide variety of 4-way Valves, these Cylin- ders are recommended for heavy-duty applications and where side load conditions are present. Pressure Rating : 20 P.S.I. Minimum 150 P.S.I. Maximum

TYPE EVT Type "EVT" Cylinders feature two Cylinders in tandem having two pistons mounted on one common rod (as Type "ET" on Page 11). Block-Vee Seals are used and include a wear strip on both pistons and double rod seals in the front head. The rear Cylinder has the advantages of an air operated Valve-in-Head® Cylinder, yet hydraulic control can be obtained by filling the front Cylinder with oil and piping its ports in series using a flow control valve. Pressure Rating : 20 P.S.I. Minimum 150 P.S.I. Maximum     BASIC CONSTRUCTION (VALVES) The valve portion of the Valve-in-Head® Cylinder is a corrosion resistant slider type 4-way 2-position valves. The valve base is hard coated aluminum, lapped within one light band, and electro filmed. This provides minimum slider wear, positive seal and millions of trouble-free cycles. A durable delrin spool rapidly pilots the high-tensile manganese bronze slider across the enlarged internal ports changing direction of flow. The built-in side tubing provides air passage to the front end of the Cylinder. V
