Speed regulation with single-acting cylinders

Flow control valve The tubing cross section is infinitely adjusted at a flow control valve. The effect of the reduced volumetric flow is the same in both directions.

One-way flow control valve

The setting at the one-way flow control valve is only effective in one direction; the valve has no effect in the opposite direction (the volumetric flow is routed through the non-return valve). The direction of flow control is indicated on the components by an arrow.

In the forward stroke

The air supply is reduced by means of a one-way flow control valve. The set speed is only effective in the forward stroke. For the return stroke, the volumetric flow is routed through the non-return valve.

In the forward and return strokes

The flow control valve is at the port that supplies and exhausts the compressed air. The set speed is effective in the forward and return strokes.

Using two one-way flow control valves

The speed can be set separately for the forward and return strokes.
