Re: How do you make your compressorless system work, when all valves "bleed" air slow

Last year, we had a pneumatic cylinder which controlled the angle of our cannon. We used a rexroth valve which was a non-piloted valve, which does not require pressure on both sides of the valve.

If you tie all the outputs together, and vent this when you vent the individual cylinders, this may solve your problem.

I hope this helps...
