Features and Pneumatic Operation

The heavy-duty head converts mechanical contact into a 3/2 pneumatic signal. The adjustable lever, roller installation and head-orientation features are shown separately so that the mechanism can be set to suit the machine contact position.

The operating force is supplied by an external machine mechanism. The catalog describes this arrangement for position detection or stroke/limit switching.

Lubrication is not required. If lubricated air is introduced, continue using the same lubrication medium without interruption; the catalog recommends ISO VG32 oil or an equivalent grade.

Port letters identify P as the supply, A as the controlled outlet and R as exhaust. The graphical symbol in the PDF defines the exact flow paths for the selected actuator and valve position.

Selected Operating Travel

Parameter Details
Extreme operating force F.O.F. 20 N
Force test condition Lever length 38.1 mm
Pre-travel P.T. 20°
Over-travel O.T. 30°
Total travel T.T. 50°

The listed stroke ranges are installation limits for the selected control form. Travel is not an added body dimension. Use the drawing orientation and do not drive the mechanism past its stated range.

Installation, Travel Limits and Operation

The R roller and J adjustable roller mechanisms allow the lever to be repositioned through 360° by loosening the socket-head screw. The roller can be moved to the inside of the lever, and the head orientation can be changed as illustrated. Retighten the loosened fixing screws after selecting the required position; the catalog does not assign a tightening-torque value.

The standard-angle version allows the effective actuation direction to be changed by the stepped bearing sleeve. This direction-selection feature is not available on the W large-angle version.

Adjust the roller lever to suit the contact position within the illustrated 26–89 mm range. The published 20 N extreme operating force is specified at a lever length of 38.1 mm; it is not stated as a constant force at every lever setting.

F.P. is the free head position without an applied force. O.P. is the switching position under applied force, and T.T.P. is the end-of-travel position. O.F. denotes operating force to the switching position; F.O.F. denotes force to the end position. P.T. is free-position-to-switch travel, O.T. is switch-to-end travel, and T.T. is total free-position-to-end travel. The angles and forces above are selected for this model’s standard or W option.

Body and Mounting Dimensions

The ZM3 dimensional drawing identifies R, J and P control heads separately. The W option changes the operating angles shown in the travel table; no extra dimensions are invented for W.

Flow Characteristics

The catalog flow chart for ZM3R-06 plots operating pressure in MPa on the vertical axis from 0 to 0.8, and flow in L/min on the horizontal axis from 0 to 900. The family of curves illustrates the pressure/flow relationship. Axis limits are graph bounds, not guaranteed rated flow values for this complete valve; use the supplied curve and the required pressure conditions.

Supply Scope and Related Heads

This ordering code identifies one valve with its selected control-head form. It does not encode a multiple-valve assembly, a spare head, a silencer, mounting-panel hardware or pneumatic tubing. Where the catalog lists a separately orderable head, its exact code is given above as a replacement reference; the source does not provide a screw/gasket quantity breakdown for a service kit.

Series Ordering Options

The ZM3 family offers R fixed roller, J adjustable roller and P adjustable contact-pin heads, all with 06 (1/8 inch) connections. The blank angle option is standard and W is large-angle. PT is the blank thread code; G and T select G and NPT respectively. The dimensional/travel table inserts a hyphen before W for display, while the complete ordering diagram places W after 06.

For 1/8 and 1/4 inch connections, a blank thread suffix means PT, G means G thread and T means NPT. M5 connections have no such thread suffix. These are series alternatives; the selected configuration is the one decoded above.

Reference Weight

Catalog reference weight: 321 g, from the ZM3J06 row of the 2022 comprehensive catalog weight table (paper page 300). The reference row is the standard-angle 06 model. No separate mass is published for PT/G/NPT thread options. The table states that weights are for reference only; actual weight is determined by the delivered product. This is not a measured or packaged shipping weight.

Catalog Basis

Technical information is taken from the linked ZM3 catalog and cross-checked against the 2022 comprehensive catalog, paper pages 154–155 (PDF pages 155–156). The paper-page-300 weight table is cited separately above. No unrelated series dimensions or weights are substituted.

Optional Piping Accessories

P = this ZM3 valve’s supply (G1/8); W = its controlled working port A (G1/8); E = its exhaust port R (G1/8). All three ports are female threaded connections. The drawing identifies three same-size pneumatic connections. W here means the working route, not the model’s W large-angle option. Silencers serve E only when venting to atmosphere; ASC and GAFR connect upstream of P in positive-pressure service only. Keep supply, working and exhaust circuits separate. No pilot or manifold route is assigned. Multiple keys retain each use. Tube OD is mm (in = inches); compression/tubing show OD × ID. These piping accessories are optional and ordered separately.

Code-prefix uses (match the longest listed family prefix): ASC inline threaded flow control; GAFR upstream filter-regulator; GBB male–male; GBESL adjustable silencer; GBKC compression fitting; GBPC metal straight; GBSL silencer; GBSLM miniature silencer; GPC straight; GPEB branch tee; GPED run tee; GPH banjo elbow; GPHF female branch banjo; GPHW twin banjo; GPKD reducing distribution fitting; GPL elbow; GPLL extended elbow; GPSA/PSA inline flow control; GPSS flow control; GPTL push-lock flow control; GPYB Y; GPZB cross; PPA plug-in silencer; UE PU tube; US PU tube.

Match PT/G/NPT exactly. Use the specified thread seal or face gasket. Match tube OD and compression OD/ID; metric and inch sizes are not interchangeable. Use suitable soft nylon/PU tube and check seating, clearance, bends and flow. Tighten compression bodies by the hex, not tube nuts. Where listed: D is black, blank grey, -M miniature; -S denotes only the specified 304 stainless parts.

PSA/GPSA are tube-side flow controls and need separate matching tube connections; they do not screw directly into P, W or E. GPHF use male RA at the valve; female RB requires its own matching male thread and seal and is not a tube socket. Match both adapter ends to their separate mating parts. Branches join one circuit. Keep supply P, working A and exhaust R separate; do not bridge these paths.

Standard push-in fittings, silencers and flow-control parts: ≤1 MPa, −20–70°C. Metal GBPC: ≤0.9 MPa; compression fittings/thread adapters: ≤1 MPa. The listed metal push-in, compression and adapter groups have a 0–150°C range, limiting the connected valve path to 0–70°C or narrower. Apply every stricter component limit; no system vacuum rating is established.

This externally mechanically operated ZM3 valve has a −0.1–1 MPa working range and −20–70°C temperature range with 40 µm filtered air. Its negative-pressure rating does not establish vacuum suitability for the added accessories. These options describe positive-pressure pneumatic service; verify the complete installed path and each component’s vacuum rating before vacuum use. Accessory limits may narrow the range; proof pressure is not working pressure. The piping choices are optional and ordered separately, and do not establish separately orderable panel-mounting or internal-part kits.

Flow-control suffix A restricts thread→tube, with free reverse flow; suffix B reverses it. In positive-pressure service, supply normally flows tube→thread and exhaust thread→tube. At valve working port A, suffix A restricts flow to the actuator and suffix B the return; cylinder-mounted orientation differs. Follow the flow symbols, including PSA/GPSA. Closed controls are not leak-tight isolation. Adjust gently without forcing stops; depressurize before tube removal. Never cap an active supply, working or exhaust connection.

Silencers serve only exhaust R when venting to atmosphere; they are not vacuum filters. Check flow capacity and back pressure, including adjustable silencers and remote exhaust lines; do not restrict the exhaust so that valve or actuator operation is impaired. PPA silencers require matching metric push-in exhaust sockets; they are not threaded plugs or vacuum filters.

ASC is a separately connected upstream supply flow control, assigned to P in positive-pressure service only. Both female ports require matching male connections; follow its P/A markings. Its limits are 0.05–0.95 MPa and −20–70°C with ≤40 µm filtration. The complete valve path must meet these and every stricter component limit; the valve’s −0.1–1 MPa range does not extend the ASC rating.

GAFR is a separately connected upstream supply filter/regulator, assigned to P in positive-pressure service only. Both female ports require matching male piping; follow IN→OUT and check total flow and bowl/environment suitability. Inlet ≤1 MPa; regulation 0.15–0.9 MPa; −5–70°C, nonfreezing. Apply every stricter valve/component limit. Listed GAFR S versions have a 40 µm filter, PC bowl, differential/manual drain, bracket and round snap-in gauge (bar/MPa), without a reverse-flow valve. Air lubrication is not required. If lubricated air is introduced, continue with consistent lubrication using ISO VG32 or equivalent oil.

US98A/UE95A examples are separately ordered blue 100 m metric PU coils rated 1 MPa at 23°C. US98A: −20–70°C; UE95A: −40–70°C. Match OD/ID and derate as temperature rises within valve/component limits; 1 MPa is not assured throughout. Use inch tube where the selected connection requires it; metric tube is not a substitute.

GPTL recommended cap-adjustment torque: 1/8: 0.08 N·m. These are not thread-installation torques.

Items marked discontinued are historical service references, not current standard recommendations. Confirm availability or a manufacturer-approved replacement. An unmarked catalogue entry does not promise current production, stock or delivery. All listed options are ordered separately.

    P = this ZM3 valve’s supply (G1/8); W = its controlled working port A (G1/8); E = its exhaust port R (G1/8). All three ports are female threaded connections. The drawing identifies three same-size pneumatic connections. W here means the working route, not the model’s W large-angle option. Silencers serve E only when venting to atmosphere; ASC and GAFR connect upstream of P in positive-pressure service only. Keep supply, working and exhaust circuits separate. No pilot or manifold route is assigned. Multiple keys retain each use. Tube OD is mm (in = inches); compression/tubing show OD × ID. These piping accessories are optional and ordered separately.

    Match PT/G/NPT exactly. Use the specified thread seal or face gasket. Match tube OD and compression OD/ID; metric and inch sizes are not interchangeable. Use suitable soft nylon/PU tube and check seating, clearance, bends and flow. Tighten compression bodies by the hex, not tube nuts. Where listed: D is black, blank grey, -M miniature; -S denotes only the specified 304 stainless parts.

    PSA/GPSA are tube-side flow controls and need separate matching tube connections; they do not screw directly into P, W or E. GPHF use male RA at the valve; female RB requires its own matching male thread and seal and is not a tube socket. Match both adapter ends to their separate mating parts. Branches join one circuit. Keep supply P, working A and exhaust R separate; do not bridge these paths.

    Standard push-in fittings, silencers and flow-control parts: ≤1 MPa, −20–70°C. Metal GBPC: ≤0.9 MPa; compression fittings/thread adapters: ≤1 MPa. The listed metal push-in, compression and adapter groups have a 0–150°C range, limiting the connected valve path to 0–70°C or narrower. Apply every stricter component limit; no system vacuum rating is established.

    This externally mechanically operated ZM3 valve has a −0.1–1 MPa working range and −20–70°C temperature range with 40 µm filtered air. Its negative-pressure rating does not establish vacuum suitability for the added accessories. These options describe positive-pressure pneumatic service; verify the complete installed path and each component’s vacuum rating before vacuum use. Accessory limits may narrow the range; proof pressure is not working pressure. The piping choices are optional and ordered separately, and do not establish separately orderable panel-mounting or internal-part kits.

    Flow-control suffix A restricts thread→tube, with free reverse flow; suffix B reverses it. In positive-pressure service, supply normally flows tube→thread and exhaust thread→tube. At valve working port A, suffix A restricts flow to the actuator and suffix B the return; cylinder-mounted orientation differs. Follow the flow symbols, including PSA/GPSA. Closed controls are not leak-tight isolation. Adjust gently without forcing stops; depressurize before tube removal. Never cap an active supply, working or exhaust connection.

    Silencers serve only exhaust R when venting to atmosphere; they are not vacuum filters. Check flow capacity and back pressure, including adjustable silencers and remote exhaust lines; do not restrict the exhaust so that valve or actuator operation is impaired. PPA silencers require matching metric push-in exhaust sockets; they are not threaded plugs or vacuum filters.

    ASC is a separately connected upstream supply flow control, assigned to P in positive-pressure service only. Both female ports require matching male connections; follow its P/A markings. Its limits are 0.05–0.95 MPa and −20–70°C with ≤40 µm filtration. The complete valve path must meet these and every stricter component limit; the valve’s −0.1–1 MPa range does not extend the ASC rating.

    GAFR is a separately connected upstream supply filter/regulator, assigned to P in positive-pressure service only. Both female ports require matching male piping; follow IN→OUT and check total flow and bowl/environment suitability. Inlet ≤1 MPa; regulation 0.15–0.9 MPa; −5–70°C, nonfreezing. Apply every stricter valve/component limit. Listed GAFR S versions have a 40 µm filter, PC bowl, differential/manual drain, bracket and round snap-in gauge (bar/MPa), without a reverse-flow valve. Air lubrication is not required. If lubricated air is introduced, continue with consistent lubrication using ISO VG32 or equivalent oil.

    US98A/UE95A examples are separately ordered blue 100 m metric PU coils rated 1 MPa at 23°C. US98A: −20–70°C; UE95A: −40–70°C. Match OD/ID and derate as temperature rises within valve/component limits; 1 MPa is not assured throughout. Use inch tube where the selected connection requires it; metric tube is not a substitute.

    GPTL recommended cap-adjustment torque: 1/8: 0.08 N·m. These are not thread-installation torques.

    Items marked discontinued are historical service references, not current standard recommendations. Confirm availability or a manufacturer-approved replacement. An unmarked catalogue entry does not promise current production, stock or delivery. All listed options are ordered separately.
