Manually, Mechanically & Pneumatically Operated Miniature Valves

Kuhnke manufactures a wide range of miniature valves to suit specific application requirements. Operator types include plungers, roller levers, pushbuttons, joystick, roller ball designs as well as air bleed and air pressure assisted versions. All valves are compact for easy mounting in tight spaces.

Among the valve families are the Series 72 micro valve, made of moulded material and approximately the size of an electrical micro switch. These valves use an air bleed system to achieve low actuation forces.

Series 74 general purpose valves are compact units constructed of a zinc alloy housing with a maximum operating pressure of 10 bar. Valves are less than 25mm square.

Series 46 Brass valves are a rugged 3/2 poppet design machined from a brass hex bar and can be used for normally open, normally closed or diverter functions.

Series 79 and 81 steel spool valves are long-life devices, several with internal air piloted systems that yield low operating forces. Unique amplifier and pulse shaping versions are also included for special applications.

A selection of pneumatically operated spool valves is also available in both M5 and G1/8 ports.

	Mechanically Operated Micro Valves The Series 72 micro air valve was developed as a low cost, reliable signal element for mounting in confined spaces. The valve has an air assisted servo plunger design providing a low actuation force.
	Modular Poppet Valves 3/2 Series 74 valves feature a space saving modular design.Valve bodies take up less than 25mm3 of space and are constructed of a rugged zinc alloy.
	Brass 3/2 & 2/2 Valves The Series 46 valve is a rugged general purpose 3/2 or 2/2 device. The valve series is available with 7 types of mechanical actuators and 2 types with pneumatic actuation to suit a variety of application requirements.
	Steel Spool Valves 3/2 and 5/2 Series 79 and 81 mechanically operated spool valves are constructed of precision lapped steel spools and sleeves. Series 79 is a 3/2 valve; series 81 is a 5/2 valve. These valves are fitted with a wide variety of operators including push buttons, lever operators, cat whiskers, ball and plungers, in addition to several special application types.
	Pneumatically Operated Valves. Long life steel spool. 3/2 & 5/2 Series 79 and 81 pneumatically operated spool valves are constructed of precision lapped steel spools and sleeves. Valves are available for in-line, manifold or sub base mounting.
