Safety gate valve

Valve as an additional backup for the closing movement of a hydraulic cylinder, e.g. for pressing or injection moulding machines. The valve is operated by the movable protective grid of the machine in that it interrupts the incoming flow of the pressure fluid when the gate is open.

The safety gate valve is designed as a pilot-controlledseated valve with a switching movement that is electrically monitored when activated mechanically.
