If you want fine control of your air you would use a different valve with a characterized seat like a needle valve.
Air flow control valves.
Also known as 4 way and 5 3 closed center valves.
The range includes pneumatic and hydraulic control valves which are designed to cope with high flow rate working pressure and can be used for a variety of.
This makes independent speed control of different cylinders a breeze.
Valve type inline female thread size 1 4 minimum psi 0 0 maximum working pressure psi 140 78 type flow control material aluminum alloy view product aro ingersoll rand 1 8 male npt.
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.
That being said most people won t need that tight control and these valves work great.
Air flows freely in the opposite direction.
Choose the inlet and outlet port types in sizes that can fit your application.
These valves close all ports in the off position to stop equipment in a locked position with air pressure holding it in place.
Prevent accidental airflow changes with these valves which require an adjustment tool sold separately to alter their flow rate.
They control the speed of air powered equipment by adjusting the volume of airflow.
Unlike a needle valve a flow control valve regulates air flow in only one direction allowing free flow in the opposite direction.
Use them to control the speed of air powered equipment by adjusting the volume of airflow.
Air piloted flow controls.
They ship with an integrated pilot check valve as well as a temporary intermediate stop dial.
Flow control valves are essential for optimising system performance and relying on a flow passage or port with a variable flow area.
Elbow air flow control valves mount these valves directly to cylinder ports eliminating additional tubing between the cylinder and valve for better control than inline valves.
Since these air piloted flow controls feature an integrated speed controller they offer the best of both worlds in many ways.
A ball valve has too high of a cv to control properly.
The elbow shape allows you to mount them directly to.
Parker flow control valves are designed to regulate the flow rate and pressure of media through a pipeline.
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.
Flow control valves are used to reduce the rate of flow in a section of a pneumatic circuit resulting in a slower actuator speed.
Selecting the right flow control valve.
These valves close all ports in the off position to stop equipment in a locked position with air pressure holding it in place.
A needle valve features a small port and threaded needle shaped plunger and can allow precise flow regulation at lower flow rates.
