Product Overview

Right Angle Pneumatic Flow Control Valves with Push-to-Connect Fittings

The Pneuforce JSC Series right angle flow control valves are designed to provide precise speed control of pneumatic cylinders and actuators in compressed air systems. Featuring an integrated push-to-connect fitting and compact elbow design, these flow controls mount directly to cylinder ports, simplifying installation while allowing accurate adjustment of cylinder extension and retraction speeds.

Flow controls are essential components in industrial automation, packaging machinery, robotics, material handling equipment and OEM pneumatic systems. By controlling airflow leaving the actuator, JSC flow controls provide smoother cylinder movement, reduced end-of-stroke shock and improved machine performance.

What Is a Pneumatic Flow Control Valve?

A pneumatic flow control valve regulates the flow rate of compressed air to control the speed of a pneumatic cylinder or actuator. By adjusting airflow, operators can fine tune machine movement, improve cycle consistency and reduce mechanical shock throughout the system.

Flow controls are among the most widely used pneumatic components because virtually every pneumatic cylinder application requires some form of speed adjustment.

Flow Control Valves vs Needle Valves

Although they may appear similar, a pneumatic flow control valve is not the same as a needle valve. A needle valve restricts airflow in both directions, whereas a pneumatic flow control contains an internal check valve that provides unrestricted flow in one direction and adjustable restriction in the other.

This one-way restriction makes pneumatic flow controls ideal for cylinder speed control applications.

Why Meter-Out Control Is Preferred

The JSC Series is designed to provide meter-out speed control. In this configuration, airflow leaving the cylinder is restricted while airflow entering the cylinder remains unrestricted. This method provides smoother and more stable cylinder motion than restricting incoming air.

For most pneumatic applications, meter-out control delivers superior performance, particularly on double acting cylinders and applications with varying loads.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Flow Controls Right Angle Push To Connect Fitting?

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

What tubing can be used with these products?

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.

How is the tubing installed?

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.

How is the tubing removed?

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

What is meter-out flow control?

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

How do I choose the correct size?

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

How should a flow control be adjusted?

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.

Can Pneuforce help with product selection?

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