9. Construction and operating principle
When compressed air is supplied to air supply port within 0.2~0.5MPa, internal directional control
valve operates and diaphragm starts reciprocation.
10. Operating principle
Air is supplied in actuating chamber shown in Fig. 1 fluid in pump chamber is flowed out.
Meanwhile, pump chamber B sucks fluid.
When pilot valve is pushed out at stroke end, built-in directional control valve is shifted, and starts
reverse operation (Fig. 2). This repeated operation realizes continuous suction and discharge.
