Give your compressed air circuit a soft start with this pneumatic manual control valve from Festo. You use it to gradually pressurise a circuit, which minimises the chance of cylinders getting into a spin and suffering damage. The unit releases its compressed air slowly, so it also delivers a gentle shutdown. Its manual override function keeps your setup safe, as you can quickly intervene in an emergency. As this control valve enables in-line installation, there's no need to shut your circuit down during assembly.
