Some questions about pallet and tombstone clamping systems are common to both novices and experienced users. The answers to the following questions may help you better understand palletized hydraulic systems. Contact Vektek for assistance in determining if you should use a decoupled fixture or leave the fixture connected to the pump.

What is a pallet decoupler and what is its purpose within a clamping system? A pallet decoupler is a device which serves as the interface between the stationary pump and the moving pallet. This is the point where the hose(s) from the pump is connected and disconnected from the pallet. The decoupler “rides along” on the pallet and is the regulator of pressurized hydraulic fluid for the clamping circuit while it is disconnected from the pump. A decoupler must contain a shutoff valve to trap pressurized fluid from the pump within the clamping circuit and allow the hose(s) to be disconnected from the pallet. A decoupler must also contain: * A coupler(s) for connecting the hose(s). * Filter screens to minimize the amount of contamination that enters the pallet hydraulic circuit. * An Accumulator to store pressurized hydraulic fluid. The accumulator maintains pressure to the clamping circuit while the pallet is disconnected from the pump. * Ports for connection of the pallet hydraulic circuit. * May include a pressure gauge and an over-pressure relief valve.

What are the types of pallet decouplers? We divide pallet decouplers into two basic types based on whether the shutoff valve operates automatically or manually. In Manual Shutoff Valve Decouplers, the operator manually closes the shutoff valve to trap pressure on the pallet (to keep the parts clamped) and manually opens it to release pressure from the pallet (unclamp the parts). Manual Shutoff Valve Decouplers require the operator to control the pump to pressurize the pallet and release pressure from the hose(s) for disconnection. For ease of operation, most Manual Shutoff Valve Decouplers are used with single acting clamp systems or circuits.

Automatic Shutoff Valve Decoupler the shutoff valve is actuated by Clamp and Unclamp pressures from the pump. The operator only needs to control the pump. Automatic Shutoff Valve Decouplers are used with both single and double acting circuits with equal ease.

What is the difference between a pallet decoupler and a Tombstone Top Plate? A Tombstone Top Plate is an expanded type of Manual Shutoff Valve Decoupler. A decoupler has one shutoff valve to control one pallet circuit. A tombstone top plate has multiple shutoff valves to provide separate control of each single acting circuit (face). A common accumulator keeps all circuits pressurized when the tombstone is disconnected from the pump. Tombstones that require double acting clamping circuits must use one Automatic Shutoff Valve Decoupler per face or circuit.

If I don’t have enough space fora decoupler (or top plate) with its accumulator, can I use just a shutoff valve and a disconnect coupler? Absolutely not, every hydraulic clamping pallet and tombstone must have an accumulator to be safe! We offer decouplers with integral accumulators to minimize their size and decouplers and top plates that allow the accumulator to be located in a place on the pallet or tombstone that has more space. In addition, we can provide all the individual components required to implement a distributed decoupling system to

safely conform to your space limits.What type of pump do I need to operate decouplers and Tombstone Top Plates? Manual Shutoff Valve Decouplers and Tombstone Top Plates require an on-demand pump that includes a 2-Position 3-Port directional control valve and a mating coupler with suitable hose. Automatic Shut off Valve Decouplers require an on-demand pump that includes a 3-Position 4-Port pressure blocked center directional control valve and a decoupler Operating Handle with suitable hoses. Pumps for palletized fixtures must be configured to de-pressurize the hose(s) for connection and disconnection. See Basic Pump recommendations for each type of decoupler on the following pages. Pumps can also be configured to operate any combination of Manual Shutoff and Automatic Shutoff Valve Decouplers and Top Plates. Most users prefer pendant controlled, pump mounted and electric control valves for decoupling operations. However, pumps can be configured for remote mounted electric and manual control valves and with valves for integration into the machine control or machining cell PLC (Programmable Logic Control). Pumps can be set-up with an automatic Pressure Monitoring System to assure that the pallet and tombstone fixture are properly pressurized before entering the machine. Pump operations can be set to deliver a different operating pressure to each pallet and tombstone and to deliver different pressures to the clamp/unclamp side of double acting circuits.

Handle Docking Stationswith optional feedback sensor Docking Stations are now available for both 1-Handed or 2-Handed Automatic Shutoff Pallet Decoupler Handles. These handy devices provide a standard contamination-free location for quick-disconnect handle storage. Handle Docking Stations have a drain pan to keep your work area free of slip and fall hazards created by dripping disconnects.

The optional Proximity Switch confirms the decoupler handle and hoses are connected to the docking station. The pallet can then be safely shuttled into the machine.Adjustable five connector positions insure these stations are ergonomically friendly for all operators. Docking couplers are for handle retention only.Flexible mounting allows for vertical, horizontal or pole applications.

Accumulators*Maintains circuit pressure while the pallet or tombstone fixture is disconnected from the pump using a decoupler or tombstone Top Plate.Piston-type, inert gas precharged accumulators compensate for pallet pressure changes during machining.Available in three operating ranges provide up to 3.8 cu. in. of pressure fluid reserve.

Hydraulic fluid compresses the precharged inert gas across the piston during circuit pressurization. The pressurized gas provides additional fluid to the circuit to reduce pressure changes in the event of small seeps, orthermal expansion/contraction while the pallet or fixture is in the machine. - The 2,000-5,000 psi operating pressure model has a gas precharge of 1,500 psi. - The 1,000-3,500 psi operating pressure model has a gas precharge of 750 psi. - The 300-1,450 psi operating pressure model has a gas precharge of 250 psi.Perform annual maintenance in accordance with the instructions provided with each accumulator. Contact Vektek for additional copies of the annual maintenance instructions or to arrange for factory performed annual maintenance.Strictly observe all safety precautions provided with each accumulator.

Small System AccumulatorsSame functions as the larger accumulators above, except for smaller total volume circuits. For system operating pressures of 2,000-5,000 psi unit will provide up to 1 cu. in. of pressurized fluid reserve.

Manual Shutoff Valve Decouplers


Self-Closing Manual ReleaseDecoupler with External AccumulatorFor operation with Female Quick Connect Coupling Model No. 30-7827-66.

This Decoupler is a convenient, self-contained package that includes a male quick disconnect with dust cover, accumulator, filter screens on both sides of system and an over-pressure relief valve. (Pressure gauge sold separately see Section M.) Manual shutoff valve automatically closes on system pressurization. Valve is manually opened to release system pressure back to the pump. External accumulator can be repositioned into your decoupler mounting and pallet layout. Manifold mountable from the bottom or the rear surface. External accumulator can be repositioned into ports A3, A6 or A7 to accommodate the decoupler mounting and pallet layout. Pressure gauge can be mounted in A5 or A8 port to accommodate the decoupler mounting and pallet layout. BHC™Finish.

Thread-In Coupling Elements Coupling elements are designed to deliver a leak free connection, regardless of pressure state, while coupling. Choose between two flow rates and two nominal diameter sizes. The compact design allows couplings to be recessed into the fixture plate. Stainless steel construction provides long service life with replaceable face seals.Axial face seal between coupling mechanism and coupling nipple.Both elements must be positioned and guided within specified tolerances before contact with sealing surfaces. Coupling force at operating pressure ranges from 0-800 and 0-1800

pounds depending on model. Spanner and Seal replacement installation tools available.
