I didn't see anything on SMC's website that could be used. I did find some pilot operated checkvalves from a company called NGT. http://www.ngtvalves.com/B6M00.html
Thanks for the reply. I should have mentioned that I'm dealing with air and not hydraulics. I'm using a SMC manifold-mounted valve. I'll look to see if they have a ready solution.

I've a question about which device, an air operated check valve or an air operated valve, would be more suitable for trapping air in a cyclinder. Currently, the cylinder is controlled by a 3 position valve, but we want to take extra measures that will keep the air trapped in the...
Thanks for all the responses. I've just about came to the conclusion that the best solution may be a different gearbox and motor combo. Just for y'all to ponder some more if you want to, the application this is being used in is a steel accumulator holding about 250 feet of material for a...
Thanks drawoh for the reply. I have spoken witht he gear box manufacturer and they are ok with increasing the motor power to 1.5 HP but not any higher. I've just tried increasing the motor RPM to get it out of the low frequency range, thinking that running that low of an rpm was contributing to...
Hi all. I'm hoping someone here can give me some guidance as I don't have a lot of experiencein working with gearboxes.
