Application & Function
NGT’s B6S00FL-25 is a swivel-mounted pilot operated check valve with flow controls. The male outlet allows the valve to mount directly to a cylinder or other pneumatic device. The male outlet of the valve swivels, allowing the valve to rotate as needed around the cylinder. The B6S00FL-25 has 3/8 NPTF female inlet, 1/4 NPTF male outlet, 1/8 NPTF pilot port, standard temperature seals, and no manual release. The B6S00FL-25 also can accommodate as low as 40 psi pilot pressure. The B6S00FL-25 valve locks air in the device (such as a cylinder or gripper) until the pilot signal is energized, at which time the valve opens and evacuates the device. This valve has flow controls, allowing for metering airflow through the valve and slowing down how quickly the valve exhausts. This prevents crash landings and helps reduce cylinder bounce. Note that restricting airflow through the valve will also slow down systems. NGT’s flow control valves have an adjusting screw that reduces how far the poppet can lift up off of the seat. This valve is also available in high/low temperature versions.
