Rotary Timing Valves
Rotary Timing Valves from Scott Rotary Seals provide flow and pressure from a stationary input to a rotating output, and provide on/off flow control where a fixed sequence pattern is maintained. This valve can replace conventional methods used to control flow, such as cams, solenoid vales and switches. They are commonly used on multiple position index tables which repeat the same cycle through every rotation.
The stationary component of the valve has the timing sequence machined into the sealing surface. As the rotating outlets pass through the timing sequence, flow is automatically turned on and off depending on their orientation.
Typical applications:

The stationary component of the valve has the timing sequence machined into the sealing surface. As the rotating outlets pass through the timing sequence, flow is automatically turned on and off depending on their orientation.
Typical applications:
- Automatic part clamping/unclamping in assembly machines, machining operations, past transfer
- Actuation of mechanical devices such as clutches, brakes, part ejection, single and double acting cylinders
- Vacuum chucking for silicon wafer systems or plastic handling
Typical operating conditions:
- Pressure range: up to 5000psi
- Rotation speed: up to 50rpm indexing; up to 10rpm continuous
- Cross leakage: 3.5 fl. oz. / min. at 3000psi (approx)
- Pressure medium: clean hydraulic fluid or oil (5 micron nominal filtration)
- Torque: 35 ft-lbs. at 3000psi (approx.)
