1. VALVES
VALVES
The function of valves is to control the
pressure or flow of pressure media.
Depending on the design, these can be divided
into the following catergories:
• Directional control valves
- Input signalling elements
- Processing elements
- Control elements

2. PROCESSING ELEMENTS
To support the directional control valves at the
processing level, there are various elements
which condition the control signals for a task.
The elements are:
• Dual Pressure Valve (AND function)
• Shuttle Valve (OR function)

Shuttle Valve

2. PROCESSING ELEMENTS
Dual Pressure Valve
The dual-pressure valve is switched through to the
output by applying compressed air to both of the
inputs (AND function).
