Accumulator Safety Unload Valve

This manually operated ball valve from DMIC is designed to isolate, drain, and relieve stored hydraulic pressure from accumulators, providing a controlled method for depressurization before maintenance or system shutdown. This minimizes the risk of sudden and hazardous energy release.

Inductive Position Control Valve

Inductive position control valves from Parker use contactless inductive sensors to monitor and control the spool position, ensuring highly accurate and reliable valve operation. This reduces the risk of unexpected movements or loss of control in hydraulic systems, which can lead to hazardous situations.

Energy Isolation Valve

This 3-way hydraulic valve allows hydraulic fluid flow to the system when energized, but blocks flow when venting. This provides a reliable way to stop and depressurize hydraulic energy sources, preventing accidental machine movement or stored energy hazards during maintenance or emergency stops.

Blocking Valve

This 2-way hydraulic valve is designed to positively block hydraulic flow within a system. This provides a reliable, monitored way to prevent unwanted movement or the release of stored energy in specific parts of a hydraulic circuit, especially during maintenance or when a system needs to be held in place.

Safety Exhaust Valve

This pneumatic valve from Parker is designed to quickly and reliably exhaust downstream pressure when the pilot signal is removed, or in an emergency stop situation. This rapid depressurization immediately releases stored energy in pneumatic actuators, preventing unexpected or continued motion of machinery and minimizing the risk of injury. 

4MAP Rod Lock

The Parker 4MAP Rod Lock is a mechanical locking device that securely clamps onto a cylinder rod when hydraulic or pneumatic pressure is removed, providing a positive holding force. This dramatically improves safety by preventing unintended cylinder movement due to pressure loss or system failure, effectively securing loads and protecting personnel.

LV/EZ Lockout

This manual Parker pneumatic valve is designed to isolate and exhaust compressed air so the system can be safely locked in the off position. During maintenance or servicing, this ensures that pneumatic power is completely removed and can't accidentally be reactivated, protecting personnel from hazardous energy release and unexpected movement.

2-Hand Controls

The Parker Pneumatic Manual Valve - Two Hand Control Module requires simultaneous actuation of two separate hand valves to initiate a machine cycle. 1 This significantly improves safety by ensuring the operator's hands are safely away from the point of operation before the machine can start, preventing potential hand injuries.
