Product Description:
Enhanced Visibility and Scale:
Many models feature a scale window for numerical flow management,
with some including a vernier for precise 1/4-scale settings. The
scale is visible from 360 degrees, improving accessibility for
inspection and maintenance.
Ergonomic and Efficient Operation:
The push-to-lock mechanism enhances needle valve locking operation,
making setup faster and reducing setup time and potential errors.
Some models also have a larger knob diameter (approximately twice
as large) for easier adjustment.
Space-Saving and Lightweight Design:
The compact design saves space, and some models achieve weight
reduction of about 27%.
Easy Installation and Connection:
Tube insertion and removal are facilitated with reduced insertion
force (by up to 30%) and withdrawal force (by up to 20%) while
maintaining pull-out strength. The 360° free orientation piping
capability (in elbow/universal types) allows for flexible
installation.
Durability and Specialized Specifications:
Constructed with metal bodies (e.g., zinc alloy) or specific
materials for standard use, with some offering stainless steel for
corrosion resistance. Non-electrolytic nickel plating is
standardized for some components. Options include cleanroom
(low-dust generation) and corrosion-resistant models.
Integrated Functions:
Certain variants combine a speed control valve with other
functions, such as a residual pressure release valve (for
one-button exhaust) or a pilot-operated check valve (for cylinder
speed control and temporary intermediate stopping).
Applications:
SMC's AS series speed control valves are primarily used to control the speed of pneumatic actuators by
regulating the flow of compressed air.
Low-Speed Control: Specifically designed for low-speed control applications, such as
achieving cylinder movement speeds between 1 mm/s and 50 mm/s, or
50 mm/s and 150 mm/s.
General Speed Regulation in Pneumatic Systems: Used for meter-out flow control (typically exhaust port
throttling) in one direction, while allowing free flow in the
opposite direction via a built-in check valve. This enables easy
and constant speed setting.
Applications Requiring Compact and Efficient Components: Their space-saving and lightweight design makes them suitable for
compact machinery and systems where efficient use of space is
important.
Specialized Environments: Specific types are available for use in cleanrooms (low-dust
generation) and environments requiring corrosion-resistant
materials.
I hope this translation and summary is helpful for your
understanding of the SMC AS series speed control valves. If you
require more specific information regarding a particular model or
application, feel free to ask.
