Pneumatic Cylinder Flow Control Valve

Flow control valves are used to reduce the rate of flow in a section of a pneumatic circuit resulting in a slower actuator speed.

Pneumatic cylinder flow control valve.

Often used to extend and then retract a cylinder at different speeds they create two actions and have two exhaust ports which allows you to control the speed of each action by attaching a flow control valve to each exhaust port. Selecting the right flow control valve. Solenoid air control valves rely on electromagnetic levers for controlling air flow and release to achieve proper compressor function. This makes independent speed control of different cylinders a breeze.

Three way valves direct pressurized air to the cap end side of the cylinder. The valves pressurize and exhaust one outlet port to control a single acting cylinder or pilot another valve. Pneumatic threshold sensors detect the end of an air cylinder stroke and signal when pressure drops. Friendly order desk standing by to help you find what you need.

However flow control valves allow flow go freely in one direction and restrict it in the other direction. These valves close all ports in the off position to stop equipment in a locked position with air pressure holding it in place. Order online or call 1 800 660 0733. Unlike a needle valve a flow control valve regulates air flow in only one direction allowing free flow in the opposite direction.

A needle valve restricts flow in both directions. Often used to extend and then retract a cylinder at different speeds they create two actions and have two exhaust ports which allows you to control the speed of each action by attaching a flow control valve to each exhaust port. Since these air piloted flow controls feature an integrated speed controller they offer the best of both worlds in many ways. You can connect a flow control valve into a port of a cylinder in two ways.

Pneumatic flow control and needle valves regulate the flow of compressed air. Compact push to connect valves include both an internal and external hex for easy tool free tightening and assembly. These valves close all ports in the off position to stop equipment in a locked position with air pressure holding it in place.

A flow control valve is a needle valve with a check valve build in it. Air piloted flow controls. They ship with an integrated pilot check valve as well as a temporary intermediate stop dial. For use with polyurethane polyethylene or ptfe tubing these compact flow controls help control cylinder speed in pneumatic applications.
