Product Description
SMC soft start-up valve.
[Features]
· Start-up valves for a low-speed air supply which gradually raises the initial pressure in an air system and for quick exhausting by cutting off the air supply.
· Power Consumption: 0.35 W.
· Improved flow rate characteristics: Up to 2.3 times C [dm3/(s·bar)]: 9.2.
· Energy saving: No air flow when switching the main valve.
· Improved adjustment sensitivity with a low speed air supply.
· Features a built-in silencer to save on space and for less overall work.
