Pneumatic Cylinder Speed Control Valve

Speed control during a work stroke can be accomplished by regulating flow to the cylinder.

Pneumatic cylinder speed control valve.

The check valve allows free reverse flow when the cylinder retracts. Made of plastic and stainless steel parts they have excellent corrosion resistance. It normally gives finer speed control than a meter out circuit. Legris miniature flow control is specially designed for use with small bore cylinders.

The mass flow of air leaving the pneumatic cylinder to atmosphere is controlled with the combination of an electronic mass flow control valve a mass flow monitor traditional four way five port solenoid valve and sometimes an additional electronic pressure regulator. For use with polyurethane polyethylene or ptfe tubing these compact flow controls help control cylinder speed in pneumatic applications. Regulating flow from the cylinder is another way to control speed. Mount these valves directly to cylinder ports eliminating additional tubing between the cylinder and valve for better control than inline valves.

They control the speed of air powered equipment by adjusting the volume of airflow. How the fa series controls pneumatic cylinder speed. Also known as 4 way and 5 3 closed center valves. Compact push to connect valves include both an internal and external hex for easy tool free tightening and assembly.

The proportion air closed system valve is extremely precise.
