The IL series from SMC encompasses booster relays and lock-up valves engineered to enhance actuation speed in systems with extended piping or large capacity volumes. These components are essential for precise and efficient pneumatic performance in industrial settings.
Product Variants Available
IL100 – Booster Relay
- Ideal for applications with long piping distances.
- Boosts actuation response for larger volume operations.
- Available in standard and metric configurations.
EIL100 – Booster Relay, European Version
- Designed for compatibility with European pneumatic systems.
- Offers the same performance enhancements as the standard IL100.
IL200 – Lock-up Valve
- Maintains output pressure in the event of supply loss.
- Available in single (201) and double (211) actuation types.
- Connection size: 1/4”.
- Orifice size: 17mm² (Cv 0.9).
Key Benefits of IL Series
- Accelerates pneumatic signal transmission in large systems.
- Reduces delay and pressure drop over long distances.
- Supports system stability and safety under varying conditions.
Applications
The IL series suits use in process automation, instrumentation, and pneumatic circuits where response time and consistency are critical—particularly in systems with extended piping or large actuator volumes.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the main function of an IL100 booster relay?
The IL100 booster relay improves actuation speed in pneumatic systems with long piping or large internal volumes by relaying pressure closer to the actuator.
What’s the difference between IL100 and EIL100?
The EIL100 is the European variant of the IL100 booster relay, designed to meet EU installation standards while offering the same functionality.
When should I use a lock-up valve like the IL200?
Use an IL200 lock-up valve to maintain actuator position by locking air pressure when the supply pressure is lost or cut off.
