SMC Pneumatics AV Series Soft Start-Up Valves


SMC Pneumatics AV2000-A / 3000-A / 4000-A / 5000-A series soft start-up valves offer low speed air supply to gradually raise initial pressure in an air system and for quick exhaust by cutting off air supply.  SMC has updated the series with a number of improvements:

  • Power consumption: 0.35W, a reduction of 80% compared to the old model
  • Improved flow rate characteristics: Up to 2.3 times C[dm3/(s・bar)]: 9.2
  • Energy saving: No air flow when the main valve is switched
  • Improved adjustability at low speed air supply
  • Smaller profile and less work hours due to integrated silencer
