The Kuhnke 54 series pneumatic timer is the industry standard. Often branded for Festo, Bosch or Norgren this timer is a proven, rugged and reliable means of timing an all pneumatic circuit. It is an analogue device based upon a clock.
Designed for panel mounting the 54 includes a 5/2 valve with M5 ports, mounted on the back body. The concept is to be able to operate as a NO (normally open) or NC (normally closed) 3/2 valve on time out, by plugging one of the ports. The 54 pneumatic timer depends on a constant bleed of air to operate a clockwork mechanism. This control air then bleeds out to exhaust through a sintered filter on the back of the unit.
Setting the timer is easy. Position the red time hand to the required delay period. When the control air is supplied (to port 12) the timer will start to operate. Time elapsed can be seen on the moving hand. On reaching 0 the timer operates and switches the valve on the rear of the unit. The valve remains in this condition, and control air continues to bleed through the clockwork mechanism, until control air is either removed, or pulsed to restart.
