New rapid-advance-and-feed sandwich assemblies

Rapid-Advance-and-Feed Assemblies

To expand our standard solutions, we have released nine new flow control rapid-advance-and-feed sandwich assemblies, rounding out an offering of ISO-03, -05, -07, and -08 sizes. This family of assemblies consists of a 2-way, 2-position solenoid directional control valve that allows full flow in the open position and diverts flow through a flow control valve in the closed position, allowing you to control the speed of your actuator. Assemblies use different flow control valves, ranging from a straight needle valve to adjustable pressure-compensated flow control valves.

Two important features of these rapid-advance-and-feed assemblies include the following:

  • Maximum cylinder speed during transit
  • Precision speed control when required

It's just what you need to increase productivity, reducing equipment cycle times without sacrificing control and precision.  The circuit below shows how it achieves both.



Below are all our rapid-advance-and-feed assemblies offered as standard solutions.  New products are in bold.
