Overview
The SMC AV3000-N03G-5DOZ is a soft start-up valve designed for pneumatic control applications. This valve manages the startup sequence of pneumatic equipment by controlling air supply at low speed while enabling high-speed exhaust by blocking the main air supply. The 3/8″ body port configuration makes it suitable for standard industrial pneumatic systems requiring smooth, controlled startups.
Key Features
- Soft start-up operation—supplies low-speed air intake while maintaining high-speed exhaust capability
- 3/8″ NPT body port design for standard pneumatic system integration
- Reliable SMC construction proven in industrial automation environments
- Compact valve body suitable for panel mounting and manifold integration
- Minimal pressure drop across valve design
