INDUSTRY COMPONENT

Nozzle Seat

A precision-machined component in flapper-nozzle assemblies that provides stable mounting and alignment for the nozzle.

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.
Technical Parameters
  • Surface Finish Ra 0.4μm to 1.6μm
  • Mounting Thread M4x0.7 to M12x1.75
