Air Impact Cycle Time

Published by Marc Steele on

Q: I have two more questions: In the Air-requirements table it shows the time of extend.  http://columbiamt.com/CMT-Impact-Marking/Air-Requirements.html I would like to knew if it is the same time for retraction. Is a break needed between the time of extend and retraction and between each impact.

A: Yes. The same amount of time is required for retraction. No time is required between extend and retract. For most efficient operation, electrical signal energizing solenoid should be very short.
