Metric Tube Flow Controls Push To Connect Fitting

A Metric Tube Flow Controls Push To Connect Fitting combines a push-to-connect tubing connection with an adjustable restriction used to control airflow and pneumatic actuator speed.

Use pneumatic tubing with the correct outside diameter and suitable material, such as compatible polyurethane or nylon tubing. The tube end should be cut square and free from damage.

Cut the tubing square, push it fully into the release collar until it reaches the internal stop, and gently pull back to confirm that it is retained.

Remove system pressure first. Press the release collar evenly toward the fitting body while pulling the tubing straight out.

Meter-out control restricts air exhausting from the actuator. It is commonly used because it generally provides smoother and more stable cylinder speed control.

Match the tube outside diameter and, where applicable, the thread type and port size. Also confirm pressure, temperature, media and available installation space.

Start with the adjustment mostly closed, operate the actuator at a safe reduced speed, and gradually open the control until the required motion is achieved. Secure the setting when applicable.

Yes. Pneuforce can assist with tube size, thread type, configuration, pressure range and application compatibility.
