With fast response time of 14ms (on) and 5 ms (off), the valve is equipped with one touch fitting for easy connection, silencer with sintered bronze element for reduced exhaust noise and manual override button for ease of commissioning the equipment.
With IP65 enclosure rating, the Series VFD valve comes with two types of modular two-piece design mounting brackets.
One, an industry standard rectangular "quick connect" mounting bracket, perfect for a drop in replacement on existing conveyor equipment and the other a two hole mounting bracket.
Also available from SMC are custom designed brackets.
