• Hydraulic: energy isolation

We take pride in ensuring maximum uptime, lower cost of ownership, and ultimate safety for our customers, their employees, and their equipment. We’ve hand-selected vendor partners who share our values and hold themselves to the highest standards.

Designed for external monitoring for safe, redundant operation.

• 5/2 valve safe return home
• 5/2 valve for dual pressure, duplicating the concept of reduced torque in an electric motor application
• Rapid response for minimum actuating time
• Position sensors for valve fault monitoring – external monitoring device required
• Well-proven spool valve design for reliable, smooth function
• Able to run at lower pressure when utilizing the remote pilot port
• Base-mounting design

The 5/2 valve offers a great safety solution for dual pressure, duplicating the concept of reduced torque in an electric motor application. Make sure your machines and workers are in safe operating conditions at all times with the RSe Valve.

The 5/2 RSe Series valve can be utilized for Safe Pressure Select Applications in order to safely control the pressure applied to a machine operation, such that a specified pressure is the default pressure and only when an appropriate signal is given supplies, a different pressure output. The default pressure would be used whenever safe operator access is required for production-related tasks and/or when a fault in the safety valve occurs.
