OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW
Below is a brief overview of what happens
during the Ego11 firing cycle. The location of
parts discussed in the text below can be found
on page 74-75.
Assuming the Ego11 is gassed up and turned
on,
FIGURE 6A shows the marker in its idle
position. The Rammer is held in its rear
position with pressurised gas from the LPR
directed through the Solenoid to the front
of the Rammer. The Valve Chamber is full of
pressurised gas from the Inline Regulator.
Providing a ball is in the Breach, when the
Trigger is pulled, a signal is sent to the Solenoid
which redirects the supply of gas from the front
of the Rammer to the rear, which pushes the
Rammer and Bolt forward toward the Exhaust
Valve
(FIGURE 6B). As this happens the gas in
front of the Rammer is vented out through an
exhaust port in the Solenoid Valve.
The Rammer makes contact with the Valve
Stem and continues to be pushed forward, now
pushing the Exhaust Valve forward with it. This
opens the Exhaust Valve allowing pressurised
gas to flow up through the Valve Guide and into
the Bolt and vent down the Barrel, propelling
the ball
(SEE FIGURE 6C).
The time that the Rammer is held in this forward
position is dependant on the
DWELL
parameter.
The longer this dwell time the longer the Ego11
vents gas down the Barrel. When this dwell
time has elapsed, the Solenoid redirects the
supply of gas from the back of the Rammer to
the front, pushing the Rammer and Bolt back
to the rear position. This loss of forward force
allows the Exhaust Valve to re-seal and the Valve
Chamber is re-pressurised. As the Rammer
moves back gas behind it is vented through an
exhaust port in the Solenoid Valve
(SEE FIGURE
6D)
. The Ego11 has now completed a full cycle.
