A shuttle valve is a type of valve which allows fluid to flow through it from one of two sources. Generally a shuttle valve is used in pneumatic systems, although sometimes it will be found in hydraulic systems.

A shuttle valve is also a kind of double check valve. It allows pressure in a line to be accessed from alternative sources. It is basically a pneumatic device and also found in hydraulic circuits. There is a sliding part that resides in the enclosure is called the shuttle. Its purpose is to seal off either one or other inlet ports.

Dec 18, 2023 · Also known as a double-check valve, a pneumatic shuttle valve allows pressure from alternative sources. It is rarely found in hydraulic circuits since it works as a pneumatic device. However, some hydraulic systems use hydraulic shuttle valves in a limited capacity.

Jun 24, 2024 · Shuttle valves are used in air logic circuits to operated through a compressor, which then drives air that opens brake shoes. With a control valve in the middle, venting occurs through the shuttle valve, which closes the brake shoes.

May 8, 2020 · A shuttle valve is a pressure operated valve, these valves can separate the normal hydraulic system from the emergency pneumatic system. The air pressure in the lines will be removed through the vent port of the control valve if the control handle is …

Choose from spring-biased shuttle valves, detented shuttle valves, selective shuttle valves, inverse shuttle valves, or zero leak shuttle valves – you’re almost sure to find a configuration that works for you.

Shuttle valves can be designed in custom envelopes and configurations with unique shuttling pressures, flow rates, leakage specifications, materials, and more. Contact your local Lee Sales Engineer to discuss your specific needs.

A shuttle valve is a kind of valve which allows fluid to flow through it from one of two sources. It is generally a pneumatic device but sometimes, it can be found in hydraulic systems. It is also a kind of a double check valve that allows pressure in a line to be accessed from alternative sources.

A shuttle valve gives an outlet from either one or two pressurised inlets (whichever has the greater pressure): the higher pressure inlet moves the shuttle to a position where it blocks the other inlet. It is thus more of a special valve than a true directional control valve and its main use is for logic OR switching. Non-return valves

Hot oil shuttle valves are commonly used to divert fluid from the low-pressure side of a closed-circuit hydrostatic loop for cooling and/or filtering. Discover the perfect solution for your hydraulic circuit needs with Danfoss' diverse line of reliable and efficient shuttle valves.
