Precision Flow Controls for Pneumatic Cylinder Speed Control
Precision Flow Controls regulate airflow in pneumatic circuits to control actuator and cylinder speed. The right-angle format is commonly installed near an actuator port for convenient meter-in or meter-out adjustment, depending on the model and circuit design.
Controlled airflow helps improve cycle consistency, reduce abrupt actuator movement and protect machine components from unnecessary shock.
Key Product Benefits

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a pneumatic flow control do?
It restricts airflow to regulate the speed of a pneumatic cylinder or actuator.
What is the difference between inline and right-angle flow controls?
Inline models install in the tubing. Right-angle models are commonly mounted directly at a threaded actuator or valve port.
Should I use meter-in or meter-out control?
Meter-out control is commonly used for stable cylinder speed, but the correct arrangement depends on the actuator, load and circuit.
Can flow controls shut the flow off completely?
Some designs can approach shutoff, but they should be selected according to their intended control function rather than assumed to be isolation valves.
How should size be selected?
Match the tube and thread connections and ensure the flow capacity is adequate for the cylinder bore and required speed.
