SMC NAV4000-N04-1DZ Pneumatic Valve With Soft Start Up

SMC NAV4000-N04-1DZ is a direct-operated soft-start-up valve from the NAV4000 family, designed for 1/2 in ports and powered from AC 80–110 V. It soft-starts pneumatic start-up by modulating flow to gradually raise system pressure, reducing shock and vibration when actuators begin moving. This two-position valve is built for industrial environments, with a compact body that suits standard pneumatic installations. The device operates across a typical air pressure range from 0.2 to 1 MPa, enabling smooth control in common automation circuits. The N04 suffix identifies the 1/2 in port size, while the 1DZ power variant specifies AC operation; ensure electrical compatibility with your control system before wiring. Suitable for applications requiring gentle start-up of cylinders and grippers, it helps protect delicate loads and extend component life in automation lines while providing reliable, repeatable actuation.
