Special Function Valves - Flow Control, Shuttle, Quick Exhaust & Logic Valves

What is a Special Function Valve?

Special function valves perform specific logic, speed, or control tasks that standard directional control valves cannot handle. Our range includes:

● Shuttle Valves (OR Logic) – Select between two pressure sources, ideal for backup air supply

● Quick Exhaust Valves – Dramatically increase cylinder retraction speed by providing a direct exhaust path

● Flow Control Valves – For precise cylinder speed regulation (see our Tubings & Fittings section for throttle valves)

Note on Flow Control Valves:

● Need a compact, inline throttle valve for direct cylinder mounting?

Visit our [Throttle Valves in Tubings & Fittings ] for push-in type speed controllers (SC, SU series).

● Need a panel-mount, high-flow, or valve-body type flow control valve?

Contact us for RE, ASC series options.

Other Types of Special Function Valves

Additional Special Function Valves (Coming Soon):

● Dual Pressure Valves (AND Logic) – For two-hand safety control

● Lock-up Valves (Air Lock) – For position holding during air failure

FAQs

Q1: What is a shuttle valve used for?

A1: A shuttle valve (OR logic) selects between two pressure sources. Common uses include backup air supply or alternative control stations.

Q2: What does a quick exhaust valve do?

A2: A quick exhaust valve increases cylinder return speed by providing a larger, more direct exhaust path to atmosphere, bypassing the control valve.

Q3: Do you offer dual pressure valves or lock-up valves?

A3: These are in our product roadmap. Please contact us with your requirements, and we'll check availability or lead time.
