Diverting Arm/Gate: Flow Capacity Up to 50 m³/h

Q: What maintenance is required for a pneumatic diverting arm/gate?

Regular inspection of seals and wear surfaces, lubrication of pivot points, and checking pneumatic connections for leaks. Recommended maintenance interval is every 6 months or 2,000 operating hours.

Q: Can this component handle abrasive materials?

Yes, with appropriate wear-resistant materials like polyurethane liners or hardened steel surfaces. Special configurations are available for highly abrasive applications.

Component Specifications

Definition

A mechanical component in pneumatic conveying systems that uses a pivoting arm or sliding gate mechanism to selectively divert bulk materials or products between different pathways. It operates under pneumatic actuation and is designed for precise flow control in industrial automation applications.

Working Principle

The diverting arm/gate operates through pneumatic cylinder actuation. When activated, compressed air moves the piston, causing the arm or gate to pivot or slide, thereby blocking one pathway and opening another. Position sensors provide feedback for control systems to ensure accurate positioning and material routing.

Materials

Body: Aluminum alloy (e.g., 6061-T6) or stainless steel (304/316); Seals: Nitrile rubber (NBR) or fluorocarbon (FKM); Wear surfaces: Polyurethane or hardened steel; Actuator: Anodized aluminum with brass fittings.
