Product Overview
Silencer Throttles for Pneumatic Exhaust Flow Control
Pneuforce brass silencer throttles combine two pneumatic functions in a single compact component by providing both exhaust noise reduction and adjustable airflow control. Installed directly into the exhaust port of pneumatic valves, these silencer throttles allow machine builders and maintenance technicians to accurately control actuator speed while simultaneously reducing compressed air exhaust noise.
Silencer throttles are commonly used in pneumatic cylinder circuits, industrial automation systems, packaging machinery, robotics and OEM equipment where smooth actuator movement, repeatable cycle times and quieter machine operation are important.

What Is a Silencer Throttle?
A silencer throttle is a pneumatic exhaust accessory that combines a sintered bronze exhaust silencer with an adjustable flow restriction. By controlling the rate at which compressed air leaves the actuator, the device regulates cylinder speed while also reducing exhaust noise.
This dual-purpose design eliminates the need to install a separate exhaust silencer and flow control, simplifying pneumatic system design and reducing the number of components required.
How Exhaust Flow Controls Cylinder Speed
In many pneumatic applications, actuator speed is controlled using the meter-out principle. Rather than restricting the incoming compressed air, airflow leaving the cylinder is restricted through the exhaust port. This provides smoother motion, improved stability and better speed control, particularly on double-acting pneumatic cylinders.
Silencer throttles are ideal for these applications because they combine adjustable meter-out flow control with effective exhaust noise reduction.
