46L Series (Lifting Solenoid)
The MAC 46L Series is a high flow direct solenoid operated 5-way poppet valve featuring our Bullet Valve™ technology (patents pending). The new 46 Series lifting technology offers the balanced design, high shifting forces, and speed of the standard 46 Series
Life
The lifting solenoid construction utilizes fewer parts than a push solenoid type MAC valve. Fewer
parts equate to less solenoid wear points, resulting in increased life of the valve.
Repeatability
With the 46 push solenoid design, excess armature movement in the solenoid results in slight variations in the response of the valve. For applications where consistent energized response times are critical, a repeatability modification (RPTE) was developed. The RPTE mod introduces a special cap that is set to eliminate any excess travel in the armature by consistently locating it in the optimal shifting position. Since the lifting solenoid design offers a one piece poppet/armature and fixed pole piece there is no excess armature movement, resulting in an inherent RPTE in the design.
Solenoid
Since lifting valves utilize a one piece armature design, an oval armature cannot be utilized. The 46 Series lifting design replaces the standard "J" coil (oval armature) with a "D" coil (round armature). The flow rates of the lifting 46 Series valve are the same as the current model.
