Supply valve: Self-holding Variations
Even if there is a power cut, the vacuum is maintained as long as there is supply air.
qThe vacuum is maintained during power failure as long as air is supplied.
This can prevent the workpiece from being dropped. ZK2
wThe unit turns on by instantaneous energizing (minimum 20 ms.). Continuous energizing is not necessary.
This can reduce the power consumption.
ZQ
Linked supply and release valves operation
The self-holding type supply valve will be turned off by turning on the release valve. It is not necessary to send a signal to stop the vacuum,

How to Read Flow-rate Characteristics Graph
Flow-rate characteristics are expressed in ejector vacuum pressure and suction flow. If suction flow
changes, the vacuum pressure will also be changed. Normally this relationship is expressed in
Pmax
Vacuum pressure
ejector standard operating pressure use. In graph, Pmax is maximum vacuum pressure and Qmax
is maximum suction flow. The values are specified according to catalog use. Changes in vacuum
P1 pressure are expressed in the below order.
1. When ejector suction port is covered and made airtight, suction flow becomes zero and vacuum
pressure is at maximum value (Pmax).
2. When suction port is opened gradually, air can flow through, (air leakage), suction flow increases,
0 Q1 Qmax but vacuum pressure decreases. (condition P1 and Q1)
Suction flow
3. When suction port is opened further and fully opened, suction flow moves to maximum value
(Qmax), but vacuum pressure is near zero (atmospheric pressure).
As described above, the vacuum pressure changes when the suction flow changes. In other words,
when there is no leakage from the vacuum (V) port, the vacuum pressure can reach its maximum,
but as the amount of leakage increases, the vacuum pressure decreases. When the amount of
leakage and the maximum suction flow become equal, the vacuum pressure becomes almost zero.
In the case when ventirative or leaky work should be adsorbed, please note that vacuum pressure
will not rise.

2. Self-holding function of supply valve Supply valve
For valve assemblies where the supply and release valves SOL.a
are linked the supply valve is a self-holding type. Instanta-
neous energization (20 ms or more) of the supply valve
allows the supply valve to hold. Continuous energization is
not necessary. Energize the release valve to turn the
supply valve off.
Note 1) Main valve in the valve assembly is made of elastic seal. Plug lead type
Self-holding is performed by friction resistance of the seal. Do

not apply impact resistance in the direction of the main valve
shaft during the installation to moving parts. When the
self-holding valve is applied with impact, energize it
continuously, or use K type. (Refer to e Combination of Release valve

gizing before use. If a supply valve/release valve is energized continuously
for a long time, the rise in temperature due to heat-up of

peripheral equipment. When the energizing time per day is
longer than non-energizing time, use self-holding linked

Caution
• Use the product within the specified supply pressure range.
Operation over the maximum operating pressure can cause
damage to the product.
The parts around the vacuum port of this product are
designed to be used with vacuum pressure. With the vacuum
pump system, since air is not released to the atmosphere
from a silencer, the applied air for vacuum release increases
the internal pressure of the vacuum port. Select the vacuum
pad which shape allows smooth exhaust of release air to the
atmosphere and avoid clogging.

• When PS = PD, the common PS/PD ports on the end plate are used, PS port is
equipped with one-touch fitting and PD port is plugged at the time of shipment from
the factory. Since the PS and PD are connected inside the end plate, common
supply location can be changed by exchanging the one-touch fitting and the plug. Handling of Pressure Switch for Vacuum Assembly
