Replaces / Drop-In Replacement For
The 229-310 is the standard speed control kit for Mark 7 Series applications. Verify compatibility with your system integrator before ordering, as similar Numatics speed control kits (such as 229-664 for Mark 15 Series or 239-581 for LO1 Series) are series-specific and not interchangeable.
Works With
- Pneumatic control valve systems
- Industrial automation platforms utilizing directional control
- PLC-controlled pneumatic circuits (via proportional or solenoid switching)
- Standard compressed air networks (typically 80–120 PSI operating range)
