Bosch Rexroth’s “H” Controlair valves – versatile pressure regulating valves
The “H” Controlair valves from Bosch Rexroth Corporation belong to the types of pneumatic pressure regulating, directional valves that control both the flow and pressure of air. These valves are a combination of three-way pressure regulating and non-regulating valves or versatile three-way and four-way pressure regulating valves. “H” Controlair valves can be operated through the use […]
Cyclone effect extends filter lifetime
The in line filter (LEN) uses the cyclone effect in the filter housing, which improves the dirt holding capacity and stretches out service intervals. In its filter head, the medium will flow in a tangential path. Use of a pressure spring in the filter fixes the filter element to the grooves in the filter bowl…
Bosch Rexroth valves used for variety of functions
