6mm Tube × R1/2BSPT Right-Angle Meter-Out Pneumatic Flow Control
The Pneuforce JSC06-04 JSC speed controller combines a 6mm push-to-connect tube connection with a R1/2BSPT threaded port in a compact right-angle body. It is designed to mount directly at a pneumatic cylinder or actuator port for convenient speed adjustment.
The JSC is a one-way flow control. Exhaust flow from the actuator can be adjusted through the metering needle while reverse supply flow passes freely through the internal check path. This meter-out arrangement is commonly used to produce smoother, more stable cylinder motion.

Meter-Out Cylinder Speed Control
Mounted at the actuator port, the JSC meters exhausting air instead of simply throttling the supply line. Controlling exhaust flow helps create back pressure on the moving piston, which generally gives more stable and repeatable cylinder speed, especially when the load changes.
Key Features
- Right-angle pneumatic speed controller for cylinder and actuator ports
- Adjustable meter-out exhaust control for one direction of airflow

- Push-to-connect tube connection for fast installation and servicing
- Nickel-plated brass construction for durable industrial use
- Compact adjustment point located directly at the actuator port
Typical Applications
- Pneumatic cylinder extension and retraction speed adjustment
- Packaging and assembly machinery
- Pick-and-place and material handling equipment
- Automation fixtures and indexing mechanisms
- Machine-building pneumatic circuits
- General industrial actuator control
How the JSC Works
The JSC combines an adjustable needle with an internal check valve. In the metered direction, the needle regulates airflow and therefore actuator speed. In the opposite direction, the check valve opens to provide a low-restriction return path. For a typical meter-out installation, the threaded port connects to the cylinder and the tube connection runs back toward the directional valve.
Important: Install the JSC in the intended flow orientation and adjust the needle gradually while the machine is operating at a safe test speed. Do not fully close the control unless the application has been designed for a blocked exhaust condition. Use clean, square-cut pneumatic tubing and the correct thread sealing method for the port type.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the JSC series used for?+
The JSC is a right-angle pneumatic speed controller used to adjust cylinder or actuator speed while allowing free airflow in the reverse direction.
Why is the JSC described as meter-out?+
In a typical cylinder-port installation, the adjustable path controls air leaving the actuator. Metering exhaust air helps maintain back pressure and can provide smoother, more stable cylinder movement than simply restricting supply air.
Is the JSC the same as a simple needle valve?+
No. A simple needle valve restricts the controlled passage in both operating directions. The JSC adds an internal check path so one direction is adjustable while the reverse direction can flow freely.
Where should the JSC be installed?+
The compact right-angle body is intended for installation at a pneumatic cylinder or actuator port, with the push-to-connect tube running back to the rest of the pneumatic circuit.
What connections does this model use?+
This JSC06-04 model uses a 6mm push-to-connect tube connection and a R1/2BSPT threaded port.
