Pneumatic Hand Lever Air Valves

Direct Hand-Lever Control for Pneumatic Cylinders and Machinery

Pneumatic hand lever valves provide simple, positive manual control of compressed air functions. Operators can use a lever to shift airflow to cylinders, actuators, clamps and other pneumatic devices without electrical controls.

Hand lever valves are commonly selected for setup stations, fixtures, maintenance equipment and machinery where the operator needs clear tactile control and an obvious valve position.

Benefits of Hand Lever Air Valves

• Direct manual control
• Clear lever position indication
• No electrical wiring required
• Suitable for cylinder and actuator control
• Useful for machine setup and maintenance

Common Applications

• Pneumatic cylinders
• Air chucks and clamps
• Fixtures and test stands
• Machine setup functions
• Material handling equipment
• OEM machinery

Choosing a Hand Lever Valve

• Select the valve function according to the actuator and desired normal state, then verify port size, flow capacity and pressure range.
• For large actuators or high-flow circuits, a hand lever valve can also be used as a pilot control for a larger main valve.
