HC-2 CONTROLAIR® VALVE
Service Information
Description of Models
The HC-2 Type Controlair Valves are handle
operated 4-way, exhausted center, pressure
control valves.
The typical unit contains two directional control
3-way side valves and a pressure graduating
portion that is arranged to increase, decrease
or maintain air pressure to (2) separate delivery
lines. In neutral position both 3-way side valves
exhaust both delivery lines. A movement of 10
degrees either side of center position opens
the appropriate side valve and directs pressure
to the indicated outlet port. Continued move-
ment past 10 degrees up to full travel or 46
degrees either side of neutral continues to ac-
tuate the pressure-graduating portion to deliver
a graduated pressure according to the value of
the control spring.
Models
There are four models with similar valve func-
tions, but different handle operating character-
istics.
HC-2-X Controlair Valve -Handle is spring
returned to neutral position from all positions in
the handle travel. Some special models exist.
See notes on Identity schedule on page 7.
HC-2-LX Controlair Valve - Handle is spring
returned to neutral position from all positions
except at the maximum pressure setting on
both sides of center. The handle is held in both
extreme positions by a mechanical detent.
HC-2-FX Controlair Valve - Handle is
equipped with a friction brake that will hold the
handle in any position selected in the handle
travel.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

RECOMMENDATIONS

Maintenance periods should be scheduled in accor-

dance with frequency of use and working environment

of the Controlair Valve.

All valves must be visually inspected for wear and

given an “In System” operating performance and leak-

age test at least once a year. If these visual observa-

tions indicate valve repair is required, the valve must

be removed immediately and repaired.

A major overhaul is recommended at one million cy-

cles. However, where frequency of use is such that it

would require more than two years to obtain the one

million cycles, the valve must be overhauled at the two

year period.

When it is determined that the Controlair Valve re-

quires a major repair as a result of the one million cy-

cles, one year routine inspection or the two year ser-

vice period has elapsed, the device must be disassem-

bled, cleaned, inspected, parts replaced as required.

The valve then must be tested for leakage and proper

operation prior to installation, refer to the Major Repair

and Maintenance Instructions and test procedures.

Notice that the operating portion of the valve can be

removed without disturbing the pipe connections by

just removing the (3) screws that hold the pipe bracket

to the valve.

No special tools are required to maintain the Controlair

valves, with the exception of internal snap– ring pliers.

One complete Controlair valve should be kept in stock

for every (4) valves in service. During the maintenance

period, replacing the complete valve with the stand-by

unit reduces production down time and affords inspec-

tion and replacement of parts at a more appropriate

time and favorable location.

WARNING: INSTALLATION AND MOUNTING

The user of these devices must conform to all

applicable electrical, mechanical, piping and

other codes in the installation, operation or re-

pair of these devices.

INSTALLATION! Do not attempt to install,

operate or repair these devices without

proper training in the technique of working

on pneumatic or hydraulic systems and de-

vices, unless under trained supervision.

Compressed air and hydraulic systems con-

tain high levels of stored energy. Do not

attempt to connect, disconnect or repair

these products when a system is under

pressure. Always exhaust or drain the pres-

sure from a system before performing any

service work. Failure to do so can result in

serious personal injury.

MOUNTING! Devices should be mounted

and positioned in such a manner that they

cannot be accidentally operated.

Installation and General Maintenance Rec-

ommendations

Before installing the Controlair

Valve, all air

lines in the system should be cleaned to re-

move all dirt, moisture or contamination.

A strainer is furnished on the inlet port to pro-

tect the valve from large particles or foreign

matter in the supply line. To ensure long, trou-

ble-free service, a 10 micron or better filter

should be installed in the supply line to the

valve.

The HC-2 Controlair Valve is designed for

panel mounting. The valve less the pipe

bracket can be installed from the top of the

panel. Refer to the installation view for panel

opening dimension. Allow suitable clearance

for installing or removing of the (3) pipe bracket

screws which are 2 1/8” long.

Installation and General Maintenance Recommendations

Description of Operation

For HC-2 Controlair

®

Note in the diagrammatic view that supply pressure is connected to

port (2) and this supply pressure is directed only to the pressure-

graduating portion. The delivery from the pressure graduating portion

encounters plugged port (8) (a pressure gage can be connected at

this port) and continues to become the supply air to each of the side

valves. The delivery from the side valves is directed to outlet ports

(1) or (3).

With the handle in neutral position, both outlet ports are exhausted to

atmosphere through their respective side valve.

Movement of the handle through the first 10 degrees of travel from

neutral operates one of the 3 way side valves to connect the gradu-

ated pressure from the graduating portion to the appropriate outlet

port (1) or (3).

Movement of the handle beyond 10 degrees either side of center po-

sition starts the cam to push down on the pressure control plunger

closing the exhaust valve and opening the upper supply valve that

allows air to flow through the selected side valve to an outlet port. As

the pressure builds up in the delivery line, it acts through the sensing

port orifice and deflects the control diaphragm downward, compress-

ing the control spring. When sufficient diaphragm deflection is ob-

tained to allow the upper supply valve in the pressure control portion

to close, the pressure in the delivery line is held to that value.

The value of the pressure delivered to the outlet port is proportional

to the pressure graduating portion plunger movement. This move-

ment in turn is controlled by the cam contour and is proportional to

the handle travel.

The HC-2 Controlair Valve will automatically compensate for air pres-

sures changes. These air pressure changes can be caused by line

leakage, temperature change or load feedback. If air pressure at the

outlet port increases over that called for by the handle position, the

diaphragm in the control portion will deflect downward opening the

lower exhaust valve and exhausting air until the original setting is ob-

tained. If the pressure drops below that called for by the handle posi-

tion, the decreased force on the diaphragm will allow the control

spring to force the diaphragm upward, opening the upper supply

valve to restore the set pressure.

The range of pressure is controlled by the strength of the diaphragm

spring. Various values are available as shown on the Identity Sched-

ule on page 7.

Repair and Maintenance Instructions When it has been determined that the Controlair

Valve

requires repairs, the following general instructions are rec-

ommended.

Disassembly, Cleaning and Lubrication

Completely disassemble the Controlair valve. Wash all

metal parts in a non-flammable solvent. Rinse each part

thoroughly and blow dry with low-pressure air.

Inspect and clean the inlet filter Item #2. Be sure all pas-

sages in the body and pipe bracket and sensing port orifice

in top of the diaphragm chamber are clean and unrestricted.

To remove cam set screw Item #55, use of an impact

wrench (set soft) will break it loose to remove the cam and

shaft from cam housing.

Examine all parts carefully. Replace all rubber parts and

all worn or damaged parts. The use of repair kits is recom-

mended.

Reassemble

Refer to exploded Parts and Assembly Views. Valves should always be reassembled using new rubber

parts.

Lubricate all metal to metal wear surfaces with Lubriplate

107 Grease. Lubricate all the rubber parts, except the dia-

phragm with Dow Corning No. 55 Pneumatic Grease.

The exhaust valve and seat if not replaced should be

polished for minimum leakage using a 600 grit-lapping com-

pound. Be sure to clean these parts prior to installing in the

valve.

Installing the cam set screw Item #55: The cam set screw

must be fully seated into the drill point location on the cam-

shaft, items #62 or #63. When installing set screw Item #

use a thread locker like Loctite TL242.

When installing the handle Item #53, seat the handle into

the yoke, Item #52 before installing the nut, Item #51.

Do not over torque the cap nut, Item #60.

Adjustments Screw, Item #40 varies the graduated output pressure

setting. Screw Item #23 adjusts the opening of the side

valves and screw. Item #19 aligns the follower Item #

with the cam Item #61. The nut Item #50 adjusts the brake

tension on the HC-2-FX versions.

Side Valve Lever Adjustments

With air supplied to the valve, turn adjusting screw Item

#40 in until the control spring Item #30 is slightly com-

pressed. Remove the snap rings and screens Item #15, 16

& 17. Move the Controlair Valve handle Item #53 back and

forth, both sides of the neutral position, observing the action

of the levers Items #20 & #22. The side valves should be

fully open after the handle moves the first 10 degrees of

travel.

Move the control handle to a maximum pressure position.

With a 3/32” Allen wrench, back out adjusting screws Item

#23 of the operated lever Items #20 or #22 just far enough

to open the exhaust valve so that gage in the output line

starts to show a drop in pressure. From this point, turn the

adjusting screw in a full three (3) turns. This will open the

inlet valve of the side valve to its maximum capacity.

Move the handle to the other extreme position and repeat

these adjustments on the other side valve lever.

Graduated Output Pressure Adjustments Adjusting screw Item #40 varies the maximum pressure setting. Turning the adjusting screw in raises the maximum

pressure. Turning the screw out decreases the maximum pressure. The maximum control pressure adjustment should not exceed the maximum control pressure shown in the

Identity Schedule for part numbers. (Control springs are color-coded).

Changing the control spring Item #30 can change the maximum output pressure rating. With air supplied to the valve, move handle in either di-

rection from neutral to full travel position and hold. Adjust graduating valve screw Item #40 to obtain the maximum control pressure per Identity schedule. Move handle back to

neutral position and note delivery line is exhausted to zero. Move handle to full travel position in the opposite direction and the delivery pressure should be the same as the other

side. If the delivery pressure is higher or lower by 2 to 3 psi it can be corrected by adjusting the cam dog Item #18 with adjusting screw Item #19. Move the handle back to neutral

position and note delivery line is exhausted to zero.

Cam Dog Adjustment

The eccentric cam dog screw Item #19 aligns the cam follower Item #18 with the rise in the cam item #61. If the pressure setting is not within 2 to 3 psi from one full handle

travel position to the other, turning the eccentric screw Item #19 either clockwise or counter-clockwise can compensate

for the difference. This adjustment is accessible from the outside of the valve through the notch under the panel flange using a long flat bladed screwdriver.

The following procedure is recommended: move the valve handle to Full Travel in one direction (on detented models handle should be placed in detent position). Observe the

output gage and note the pressure. Move the handle to the opposite position, turn the eccentric cam follower screw Item #19 to half way between the pressure difference. Con-

tinue adjustment until delivery gages (ports 1 and 3) match within 2 to 3 psi of each other for related handle position.

Special Preload Setting This setting calls for a predetermined delivery pressure when the handle is moved 10° from neutral in either direc-

tion. Place handle 10° from neutral in either direction. Turn adjusting screw Item #40 in until the gage reads the desired

preload pressure. Move the handle to the maximum pres- sure position. The delivery gage should read, preload pres-

sure plus the range value of the control spring within ± 3 psi. Check handle setting in the opposite direction.

Force Brake Adjustment

The handle force of the HC-2-FX Controlair Valve can be varied by adjusting nut Item #50 on the brake shoe holder

Item #47. This adjustment increases or decreases the force required to move the handle in any position of the handle travel.

This adjustment is normally made on the cam housing portion before assembling to the control portion.

a matched set. Kits that contain these items from the factory include matched sets.

  1. Select replacement range control spring from identity schedule on page 7.
  2. All kits above include small tubes of the recommended lubricants.
  3. Valve portion kits listed above contain the seals and other parts that are needed to repair the valve portion.
  4. Replace all worn or damaged components, especially in the mechanical portions of the valve. The mechanical

parts are listed on pages 7, 8 and 9.

Testing and Test Set-Up

Testing

After any repair or adjustments, the HC-2 Contro-

lair Valve should be tested using the following proce-

dures and test arrangements.

Pressure control valves need to be tested for the

following:

  1. Function 4. Flow Capacity
  2. Pressure Range 5. Response
  3. Leakage 6. Mechanical Detents

The adjustments affecting these points were de-

scribed in the previous sections.

General instructions for accomplishing these tests

are listed below.

1. Function: The HC-2 Controlair valve is a 4 way

exhausted center valve capable of graduating

pressure in one or the other delivery lines. This

function must be checked using the test arrange-

ment to insure that only one volume is charged in

either direction of handle travel.

2. Pressure Range : The minimum and maximum

pressure range generated in the delivery lines (1)

and (3) is specified by the control spring in use.

See the graduated output pressure setting Ad-

justment Section. After the valve is adjusted,

confirm that the minimum and maximum pres-

sure ranges are generated in the delivery lines

(1) and (3) as per the Identity Schedule by mov-

ing the handle from neutral to first 10° then to the

full travel position on both sides of center.

3. Leakage: Set supply pressure to 20 psi above

maximum delivery pressure of the valve being

tested. Using a soap and water solution, coat the

valve at the pipe bracket and spring housing

parting lines. No leakage is permitted in any han-

dle position.

A. Port (1)

  1. On all valves with spring ranges less than

90 psi., set supply line pressure to 100 psi,

handle to full travel position and hold (detent

position on detented valves). Close valve in

supply line to port (2) and valve in delivery

line (1) to isolate graduating valve. Observe

delivery pressure gage in line (1). A pressure

drop of no more than 2 psi in 30 seconds is

permitted.

  1. On all valves with spring ranges of 100 psi

and above, set supply line pressure to 100

psi. Move valve handle to deliver 95 psi to

delivery line (1) and hold in that position.

Close valve in supply line to port (2) and

valve in port (1) delivery line to isolate the

graduating valve. Observe the delivery gage

in line (1). A pressure drop of no more than 2

psi in 30 seconds is permitted.

B. Port (3)

  1. Repeat test A-1 for valves with 90 psi or

less in opposite direction of the handle

travel.

  1. Repeat test A-2 for valves with 100 psi or

more in opposite direction of the handle

travel.

4. Flow Capacity: Set supply line pressure to 100

psi regardless of the control spring rating. Move

the handle from neutral position in either direc-

tion to full travel position. The delivery volume (1)

or (3) should start to fill within the time limits

shown in Table 1.

Move the handle quickly from full travel position

back to neutral position. This should exhaust vol-

ume (1) or (3) within the time limits shown on

table 1. Note valve with less than 0 to 35 psi or

less rated springs require an additional volume

as shown in test arrangement diagram.

5. Response

A. Port (1) Move valve handle to the full travel

position and hold. Fully open the valve at test

volume (1) so that that the air exhausts

through the choke plugs. Observe the deliv-

ery pressure gage at volume (1). A pressure

drop of no more than 3 psi permitted.

B. Port (3) Repeat test 5A for opposite direction

of handle travel.

6. Mechanical Detent (HC-2-LX or SX Models only):

Move handle to extreme detent position. Connect

a spring scale just under the knob Item #54. The

force required to pull the handle out of detent

position should be at least 12-lbs. Check detent

hold in both extreme handle positions.
