5.3 Function

The angle seat valve VZXA-...-M is an externally controlled 2/2-directional control
valve with diaphragm actuator. The valve seat is slanted around 40° toward the
medium flow.
To close the valve, the valve actuator using the actuator rod presses the valve disc
into the valve seat in a force fit.
The supply of the operating medium is controlled by an external valve (usually
electrically controlled) that must be additionally integrated into the supply line for
the actuator.
The actuator can be rotated 360° on the valve housing.
