Soft start valves

Soft start valves Series MC

Ports G1/4, G3/8 and G1/2 Modular
Series MC soft start valves are used to avoid damages to people or equipment when pressurising pneumatic systems containing cylinders. The features of these components allow to pressurise an equipment up to 50% of the indicated pressure, after which 100% is reached rapidly. The usual location of the soft start valve is after the FRL unit; in fact the modular design allows for perfect adaptability with all Series MC. A pressure switch can be mounted into the upper part of the unit after removal of the S2610 G1/8 plug. An electrical or pneumatic 3 way valve should be installed at the bottom of the unit to allow depressurisation.

Soft start valves Series MD

Ports with interchangeable cartridges: threaded (1/8, 1/4, 3/8) or integrated with super-rapid fitting for tube with Ø 6, 8 and 10 mm Modular assembly
The soft start valves are used to avoid the sudden movement of pneumatic actuators. Feeding them pneumatically is enough to begin the phase of the pressure gradual increase in the system. By means of a regulation screw, it is possible to determine the time the valve needs to reach the 50% of the inlet pressure. Once this value is reached, the valve opens completely the passage. The blanked connection on the upper side allows either the time increase to fill the system through a small additional volume or the connection of a pressure switch.
