The Mobile Selection Manifold is designed specifically to control the piston movement of
LUKAS hydraulic cylinders (without independent control valve).
The Mobile Selection Manifold makes it possible to sensitively control the extension and
retraction movement of the hydraulic cylinders in order to raise an object at two contact
points with the pistons having the same travel speed (even when the load distribution of the
object to be raised varies).
It is used, for example, in the event of traffic accidents, train crashes, building collapses, etc.
In principle, nearly all hydraulic cylinders without an independent control valve can be driven
or their piston travel speed controlled without an independent control valve.
WARNING / CAUTION!
All objects that are to be moved need to be secured via fixed brackets or by using
substructures. In addition, it needs to be ensured that the hydraulic cylinders used
cannot slip away.
WARNING / CAUTION / ATTENTION!
The hydraulic cylinders may not be placed against:
- live cables
- explosive elements such as air bag cartridges
NEVER operate the Mobile Selection Manifold with a higher inlet operating
pressure than in the "technical data" chapter. A higher setting may cause property
damage and/or injuries.
Functions and performance capabilities 5.
5.1 Description
The Mobile Selection Manifold controls the travel speed of the connected hydraulic cylinder
via the distribution of the supplied hydraulic fluid.
The Mobile Selection Manifold consists of:
- a control valve (cover sheet, item 1) for defining the direction of movement of the lifting
cylinders (double-acting or single-acting cylinder components) via star knob,
- distribution valve (cover sheet, item 2) with hand wheel for the hydraulic fluid distribution
to the connected cylinder,
- pressure relief valves for the extension and retraction (firmly lodged within the device
body) to protect the hydraulic system,
- supply hose (cover sheet, item 4) and return hose (cover sheet, item 3) for the hydraulic
fluid supply.
These two hoses are connected via a monocoupling (cover sheet, item 5) or a quick-
disconnect coupling pair to the hydraulic unit,
- Ports A1 and B1 or A2 and B2 are connected to the hydraulic cylinders via a quick-
disconnect coupling pair (cover sheet, item 6).
Safety rules for hydraulic hose lines 3.
For more information, consult the separate operating instructions for the hose lines
(116500085).
