Precision Pneumatic Flow Controls
Precision Pneumatic Flow Controls provide accurate adjustment of airflow for controlling pneumatic cylinder and actuator speed in compact industrial systems.
Fine Adjustment
Provides controlled airflow adjustment for precise actuator speed setting.
Compact Body
Lightweight construction is suited to limited installation spaces.
Lockable Setting
A lock nut helps maintain the selected flow adjustment.
Flexible Mounting
Suitable for direct equipment installation and panel-mount applications.
Product Overview
The NASC flow controls are lightweight, very compact and are ideal for fine adjustment applications. The included lock nut allows installation in panel mount applications.Flow controls are an essential component in pneumatic systems and are used on an actuator or air cylinder. The flow control allows the restriction and speed control of compressed air for double acting and single acting cylinders. This type of flow controls are typically used on the exhaust port of the pneumatic actuator offering a smooth and progressive stroke.
Flow controls are not the same as a needle valve. A compressed air flow control offers a uni directional flow restriction and full unrestricted flow in the other.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a pneumatic flow control?
It regulates airflow to control the speed of a pneumatic cylinder or actuator.
What is meter-out control?
Meter-out control restricts exhaust air leaving the actuator and is commonly used for stable cylinder speed control.
What is meter-in control?
Meter-in control restricts supply air entering the actuator and may suit selected low-load or specialized applications.
How is flow adjusted?
Turn the adjustment mechanism gradually while cycling the actuator, then secure the setting with the lock nut.
Why is a lock nut useful?
It helps prevent vibration or accidental contact from changing the selected flow setting.
Can these controls be panel mounted?
The included lock nut can support panel mounting when the installation dimensions are suitable.
How should the size be selected?
Match port and flow capacity to the actuator, tubing, pressure and required speed range.
Can Pneuforce help with selection?
Yes. Pneuforce can assist with port size, flow direction, adjustment range and mounting.
