Nozzle Seat: Nozzle Bore Diameter 0.3mm to 2.0mm

Component Specifications

Definition

The nozzle seat is a critical component in flapper-nozzle assemblies used in pneumatic and hydraulic control systems. It serves as the mounting interface for the nozzle, ensuring precise alignment with the flapper to control fluid flow through variable orifice gaps. Manufactured to tight tolerances, it maintains consistent pressure differentials and response characteristics in proportional control applications.

Working Principle

The nozzle seat positions the nozzle at a fixed distance from the flapper, creating a variable orifice. As the flapper moves relative to the nozzle, the gap changes, modulating backpressure in the control system. The seat ensures geometric stability and repeatability of this critical gap dimension.

Materials

Typically stainless steel (AISI 303, 304, or 316), brass (C36000), or aluminum (6061-T6) for corrosion resistance and machinability. Hardened tool steel used in high-wear applications.
