This JSC12-03 is factory-configured for meter-out service when fitted at the cylinder port: supply air flows freely from the 12mm tube connection to the R3/8 BSPT male threaded port. Air leaving the cylinder is adjustable from thread to tube.

Typically yes. Install one meter-out speed controller at each cylinder port to adjust extension and retraction independently. Each controller meters air exhausting from its own chamber, not the air entering that chamber.

On a conventional double-acting cylinder, the rod-end chamber exhausts during extension, so the rod-end control sets extension speed. The cap-end chamber exhausts during retraction, so the cap-end control sets retraction speed.

Meter-out adjustment maintains some opposing chamber pressure as the piston moves. This often provides smoother, steadier motion and helps limit speed changes with varying load compared with meter-in control.

JSC12-03 connects 12mm pneumatic tubing to a R3/8 BSPT male threaded cylinder port. Select tubing by its outside diameter and verify the cylinder port thread and sealing method.

No. The JSC has a check-valve bypass for unrestricted supply in one direction; the needle adjusts exhaust in the opposite direction. A plain needle valve restricts both directions.

The R3/8 BSPT designation identifies a tapered BSPT male connection. Use a correctly matched female port and an appropriate threaded sealing method; do not confuse an R (BSPT) thread with a G (BSPP) parallel thread.

Start with a conservative exhaust setting, operate the machine at safe test conditions, and adjust the needle in small increments. Confirm both stroke speeds and end-of-stroke cushioning. Do not use a speed controller as a safety lock.
