WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF REALISTIC

MOTION CONTROL

 

We have developed a range of control valves and accessories to make any retract system work in a realistic manner.

 

All our valves feature EXHAUST ONLY SPEED CONTROL to ensure smooth and repeatable retraction cycles.  The speeds of all functions are adjusted with built in needle valves and are totally independent.  An added feature is that whatever speed you select it will remain constant from the minimum to the maximum operating pressure of your particular system.

 

U.P.1 ADJUSTABLE SPEED CONTROL VALVE

This valve will work with any make and size of retract system that uses air for both the up and down movements.                                                                                                                                                                                           £21.00
