Re: Reverse flow direction on SMC valves

I'm assuming the EA/EB ports on the two 'backwards' valves are plugged?

If so, seems like it would work, so long as the valves will work that way. I know the valves are piloted, and only work when supplied with a 20psi minimum... I just dont know if it cares what port that 20psi is coming from.

Also, congrats on the creative pneumatic circuit. We've created ones before to stop cylinders in mid-travel.
