One-way flow control valve, exhaust metering, 3 mm push-in, -0.95 to 10 bar, nickel-plated brass

The stroke speed of a pneumatic cylinder is normally governed by the exhausted air volume rather than by pressure. That is the job of this exhaust metering one-way flow control valve, which is screwed straight into the cylinder port and takes tubing with an outside diameter of 3 mm. In the metering direction the adjusting screw defines the air volume, while in the opposite direction the check element opens and lets air pass freely. The working range extends from -0.95 bar under vacuum up to 10 bar gauge pressure at 0 to +60 °C. For cylinders with a very small volume the supply metering version is used instead.

Benefits

• Even cylinder motion free of stick-slip thanks to exhaust metering
• Body in nickel-plated brass and PA 66 for durable threaded joints
• Push-in fitting for 3 mm tubing with stainless steel gripping claws
• Pressure range of -0.95 to 10 bar covers vacuum and gauge pressure duty
• Metering screw adjustable without tools, seal made of NBR
• Assembled exclusively with silicone-free seals and lubricants

Applications

• Speed setting on single-acting and double-acting compact cylinders
• Gentle approach of grippers and stops in handling equipment
• Metered venting of vacuum circuits down to -0.95 bar
• Painting and coating lines that require silicone-free components
• Fine adjustment of indexing movements on packaging machinery
