Re: Question about partial piston stroke

You want an smc SY3340-6H, which is a three position, close center valve. The one in the KOP is a two position, so it won't stop in the middle. Warning: when a cylinder stops halfway, it will be "spongy" because its air holding it. If its a light load, it might be OK. Be forewarned, when it drops, it will drop quickly for a small amount until the air is compressed on the drop side.
