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 utilized for
regulating the speed of pneumatic actuators by adjusting the flow
of compressed air.
They are specifically designed for low-speed control applications,
catering to cylinder movement speeds ranging from 1 mm/s to 50 mm/s
or 50 mm/s to 150 mm/s.
The valves are commonly used for general speed regulation in
pneumatic systems, functioning as meter-out flow control by
throttling the exhaust port in one direction while allowing
unrestricted flow in the opposite direction via a built-in check
valve. This feature facilitates convenient and consistent speed
adjustment.
These valves are ideal for applications necessitating compact and
efficient components due to their space-saving and lightweight
design, making them suitable for use in compact machinery and
systems where optimal use of space is vital.
In addition to general applications, specialized versions of the
valves are available for use in specific environments such as
cleanrooms to minimize dust generation and in environments where
corrosion-resistant materials are required.
I trust this translated and summarized information enhances your
understanding of the SMC AS series speed control valves. Should you
require more detailed information about a particular model or
application, please don't hesitate to inquire further.
