Quick Exhaust Pneumatic Valves

Faster Cylinder Response by Exhausting Air Directly at the Actuator

Quick exhaust pneumatic valves increase cylinder speed by allowing exhaust air to discharge close to the cylinder port instead of returning through the directional control valve and longer lengths of tubing.

The NQE range is listed in four sizes up to 1/2 NPT and uses an aluminum body with an anodized finish. Correct placement close to the actuator can reduce exhaust restriction and improve response.

Quick Exhaust Valve Features

• Direct exhaust close to the cylinder
• Can increase pneumatic cylinder speed
• NQE range available in four sizes
• Port sizes up to 1/2 NPT
• Aluminum body
• Anodized finish

Why Use a Quick Exhaust Valve?

• Reduces the distance exhaust air must travel
• Helps minimize back pressure during cylinder movement
• Useful where faster actuator response is required

Common Applications

• High-speed pneumatic cylinders
• Packaging machinery
• Press and clamping equipment
• Automated assembly
• Material handling
• OEM machinery
