Shut-Off & Soft-Start Valves
Valves that isolate an air supply and bring pressure up gradually. Items include air shut-off valves, pneumatic shut-off valves and pneumatic soft start valves. A soft start valve lets air enter slowly so cylinders move into position gently before full pressure arrives.
They are placed at the start of a pneumatic system so that machines can be made safe for maintenance and start without sudden movement. Check the port size, the actuation method and any need to vent downstream air.
