Air-cylinder-driven butterfly inlet valve used across LS-series machines, supporting modulation and on/off control.
De-energised state: NC
How it works
A single-acting cylinder rotates the disc against a return spring. The control solenoid (and on modulating machines the modulation valve) sets cylinder pressure, so disc angle tracks demand.

Field test procedure
- Hand-check disc travel with the machine locked out.
- Confirm cylinder holds pressure — a leaking cylinder gives lazy loading.
Symptoms & probable causes
- Machine can't hold line pressure at full loadDisc not reaching full open — linkage or cylinder.
