Valve terminals MPA-L
Key features – Pneumatic components
Sub-base
MPA-L is based on a modular system
consisting of sub-bases and valves.
The sub-bases are connected together
using tie rods and thus form the
support system for the valves.
They contain the connection ducts for
supplying compressed air to and
venting from the valve terminal as
well as the working lines for the
pneumatic drives for each valve.
The sub-bases are joined together via
tie rods. The tie rod consists of a
threaded rod, threaded sleeve and
screw.
In principle, sub-bases have a
modular structure. If this modularity
is not required within a terminal, then
four individual sub-bases can be
combined with a 4-way electrical
interlinking module to save costs.
The threaded rod/sleeve combination
is selected as appropriate to the
number and width of the individual
sub-bases or sub-base combination.
To add further blocks, simply loosen
the tie rod and adapt with extenders.
There are no restrictions on
extensions; a tie rod could be made
almost entirely from extenders.
