Manual fluid pressure controller

摘要

A manual fluid pressure controller has a handle with integral cam which mates with a non-rotating cam follower. Rotation of the handle causes displacement of the cam follower which transmits a force through a metering spring to a metering piston. The metering piston actuates a combined inlet-exhaust valve to admit or exhaust fluid pressure to its one face until the spring force on its other side is balanced. The fluid pressure at the face of the metering piston is connected to the load whose pressure it is desired to control. A cam stop, integral with the cam follower cooperates with a matching stop on the handle to limit handle travel.
