  • the implementation advantageously has one threaded bush locked with a screw plug in which the second valve piston is guided which is a supply / discharge line leading into the changeover valve shuts off as long as the first valve piston is on the closure rests. This ensures that the differential slide is independent of that in the Incoming / outgoing air pressure in the first end position as long as it is not from the working piston is moved out of this.
  • Control cylinder closed on the front side by locking pieces is so that it is in the cylinder head / bottom continuous bore can be formed; the locking pieces are best threaded plugs. If on that Control piston preferably elastic stops on the face are provided, which alternately on the closure pieces stop, then the control piston even spared; the elastic design of the stops extends the life of the spool and reduces noise.
  • the supply / discharge lines from the changeover valves open into close the locking pieces so that they are off the spool cannot be influenced and this alternately the air pressure of the Compressed air source is exposed.
  • control piston occurs when there is a second control chamber on each provided on both sides of the first control chamber and alternately fluidly connected to an associated outlet is.
