shown with relief valve installed
Battery operated - shown with Norgren Relief Valve installed in upper photo
Used to relieve excess pressure from the compressor. The
pressure switch should be used to start and stop the compressor. The relief
valve is a safety backup.

Used to send signals to controller to start and stop the compressor
Used to lessen pulsations and
store reserve air (energy).
Long lengths of tubing add additional storage capacity.

Voltage output proportional to input pressure.
Instruments
5CP3-7
Pressure Transducer gives an output based on the input pressure. It could be used to monitor system pressure as shown in the pneumatic schematic or to monitor an individual circuit.
Regulators are used for pressure control. Changing pressure changes the force of the
actuator.
Force = Pressure x Area
Monnier Regulator with bracket
Regulators are used for pressure control. Changing pressure changes the force of the
actuator.
Force = Pressure x Area
The Monnier regulator should be downstream of the Norgren regulator
Actuators

One linear actuator is included in the kit. You may order up to three additional at no charge. One of those may be a rotary actuator and the added cylinders can be equipped with reed position sensing switches and magnetic pistons.
Bimba on-line order form for additional linear or rotary actuators
Bimba Linear Actuators have the same mounting and external dimensions as the Parker Actuators

Engineering Information and typical applications in .pdf® format
To be used as position sensors with Bimba Linear and Rotary Actuators - includes LED indicator - polarity sensitive
Valves

Single solenoids stay shifted as long as current is applied to the solenoid. Double solenoids need only a momentary signal to shift and stay shifted until an opposing signal on the opposite coil is applied. All valves are internally piloted and need a minimum of 30 psig to operate.
