Description
The CM3 Series Mechanical Control Valve is a compact 3/2-way pneumatic directional control valve designed for mechanical and manual actuation applications in industrial automation systems. The series offers a wide range of actuator configurations including roller lever, plunger, push button, protected push button, selector, and mechanical trigger types, providing flexible control solutions for machine sequencing, position detection, and pneumatic signal generation.
The valve features a highly responsive shutoff structure that delivers excellent sealing performance and sensitive directional switching without requiring lubrication. Mechanical actuator models can be integrated with external mechanisms for position sensing and limit switch functions, while manual variants offer convenient operator-controlled pneumatic actuation.
Constructed from durable aluminum alloy with long-life metal actuator components, the CM3 Series provides reliable operation in demanding industrial environments. Protected push-button variants include metallic guards that prevent accidental actuation caused by external contact, improving operational safety and reliability.
Available in M5, 1/8″, and 1/4″ port sizes, the CM3 Series is suitable for automation equipment, packaging machinery, assembly systems, and pneumatic control panels.
