Function, section, symbol

The pressure gauge isolator valve type AF 6 is a 3-way longitudinal valve for manual actuation. It is used for checking the
occurring operating pressures.
The valve basically comprises of housing (1), spool (2), compression spring (3), rotary knob (4) and pressure gauge connection piece (5). It has two spool positions as well as spring
return to the initial position.
In the initial position, the connection from port P to the pressure gauge is blocked by the spool (2) and the pressure
gauge is connected with port T. By actuating the rotary

knob(4), the spool (2) is pushed into the operated position

and opens the connection from P to the pressure gauge. The
connection to T is blocked. By rotating the rotary knob (4) by
45, the spool (2) can be engaged.
After releasing the locking mechanism, the spool (2) is moved
back into the initial position by the compression spring (3) and
unloads the pressure gauge.
The valve can be used for subplate mounting or for in-line
mounting. The pressure gauge can be screwed into the valve
housing or installed separately (see installation examples
page 3).

cleanliness classes specified for the components

must be adhered to in hydraulic systems. Efficient filtration
prevents malfunctions and at the same time prolongs the
service life of components.
