2.5 Notes on fitting the pneumatic axis
Please note
Fit the drive, the measuring system and the proportional
directional control valve in accordance with the relevant
operating instructions.
The following sections contain general rules which are
important for the reliable operation of a pneumatic axis.
Proportional directional control valve
 Fit the proportional directional control valve as close as
possible to the drive. Short compressed air tubing will
ensure the dynamics of the system.
If you wish to fit the proportional directional control valve
onto moving parts, you must fit it at right angles to the
direction of movement. Acceleration forces then have
no
influence on the valve slide setting.
If the proportional directional control valve is to be used
in an environment subjected to heavy electrical interfer
ence, it should be insulated from the mounting surface.
 Use silencers with a large flow.
