Valve terminals MPA-L
Key features – Pneumatic components
Blanking plate
Blanking plate (code L) without valve
function, for reserving valve positions
on a valve terminal.
Valves and blanking plates are
attached to the sub-base using two
screws.
Fixed restrictor
The fixed restrictor can be used to
permanently set the flow rate when
venting in ducts 3 and 5.
Mounting:
 Press the retainer as far as it will go
into the exhaust openings on the
sub-base
 Screw the fixed restrictor into the
retainer
 Mount the valve on the sub-base
The restrictor cuts a thread into the
retainer as it is screwed in. For that
reason, the retainer should also be
changed when a restrictor is
repeatedly replaced.
The restrictor is available in
seven different nominal sizes
(0.3 …. 1.7 mm). The individual sizes
are colour-coded to make them easy
to distinguish.
Fixed restrictors enable, for example,
the cylinder speed to be set to a
predefined limit in response to known
flow rate conditions.
They cannot be accessed during
operation and are therefore protected
against manipulation.
This is beneficial in the production of
standard machines since the required
speed can be determined once and
the installation simply duplicated for
further machines, saving time and
costs for repeated commissioning.
-H- Note
The fixed restrictors are only
available for valves and manifold
sub-bases with a width of 10 mm.
