YPC FT Series Pneumatic Foot Pedal Valve (5/2-Way & 5/3-Way)

Brand: YPC
Series: FT Series
Product Type: Pneumatic Foot Pedal / Foot Treadle Directional Control Valve
Functions: 5/2-Way and 5/3-Way
Actuation: Foot-operated mechanical spool valve

The YPC FT Series Pneumatic Foot Pedal Valve is a foot-operated directional control valve designed for controlling pneumatic cylinders and other compressed-air actuators without using a hand-operated lever or solenoid. YPC identifies the FT Series as a 5/2 and 5/3-way foot valve, with different body sizes and operating configurations. (YPC)

Product Details

The FT Series uses a foot treadle-operated spool mechanism, making it suitable where an operator needs to control pneumatic equipment while keeping both hands available for handling a workpiece or machine operation. The series includes 5/2-way single and double configurations, as well as 5/3-way center-position configurations on selected models. (PneumaticPlus)

Applications

The YPC FT Series can be used for pneumatic machinery where foot operation is preferred, including:

• Pneumatic cylinders

• Clamping fixtures

• Pressing machines

• Assembly machines

• Manufacturing equipment

• Workholding systems

• Packaging machinery

• Workshop pneumatic equipment

• OEM machinery

• Industrial automation systems

A foot valve is particularly useful when the operator needs hands-free pneumatic control while positioning or handling a component.

5/2-Way vs 5/3-Way

5/2-way:
Provides two valve positions for directing compressed air to a double-acting pneumatic cylinder. It is commonly used for cylinder extension and retraction.

5/3-way:
Provides three spool positions. Depending on the configuration, the center position may be closed center, open/exhaust center or another specified center configuration. This allows additional control over the pneumatic actuator when the pedal is released or positioned centrally. YPC lists 5/3-way center configurations for the applicable FT series. (YPC)

FAQ

What is a YPC FT Series foot pedal valve?
It is a mechanically operated pneumatic directional control valve operated by pressing a foot treadle. The FT Series is available in 5/2-way and 5/3-way configurations.

What pneumatic equipment can it control?
It can be used to control pneumatic cylinders and other pneumatic actuators requiring directional air control.

Is the FT Series available in different port sizes?
Yes. YPC documentation identifies 1/4'', 3/8'' and 1/2'' port configurations. (YPC)

Does the valve require electrical power?
No. The FT Series is a mechanical foot-operated valve and does not require a solenoid coil for operation.

What is the difference between spring return and detented versions?
A spring-return version returns toward its normal position when foot pressure is released, while a detented configuration is designed to retain its selected spool position.

Can you supply a specific YPC FT model?
Yes. ASIA-MECH HYDRO-PNEUMATIC can assist with identifying the required FT model based on port size, 5/2 or 5/3 function, center configuration and return method.
