1. Electric actuating valve is recommended for feeds that have stroke length over 8”.
2. Thinner materials and/or long strokes with thin materials possible by using anti-buckling guides. Maximum thickness capacity increases by same percentage as stock width decreases (up to max. of 150%).
3. Approximate at maximum stroke length. Heavy stock requires slower speeds.
4. Air feeds with end of stroke sensor come with control valve plug and silent modification. Electric valve extra.
5. At 100 psi. (Includes allowance for normal friction of moving parts).

Air Supply: A clean, lightly oiled 75-120 psi air supply, water free, is recommended to maintain feed in proper operating condition. A filter-lubricator-regulator should be used for trouble free service. Caution: Over oiling the feed will shorten product life. Contact Rapid-Air Corp. for information on proper lubricants.

Product Specifications: All product specifications listed are subject to change without prior notice. Rapid-Air Corp. will provide up-dated technical data and specifications on any product upon written request.
