SMC Type Tracheal Joint Throttle Speed Control Valve AS1201F-M3-04 rios

Product Description:

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.

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.

The compact design saves space, and some models achieve weight reduction of about 27%.

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.

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.

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 to regulate the speed of pneumatic actuators by managing the flow of compressed air.

Specifically tailored for low-speed control tasks, these valves can achieve cylinder movement speeds between 1 mm/s and 50 mm/s or 50 mm/s and 150 mm/s.

These valves are commonly used for meter-out flow control, typically through exhaust port throttling in one direction, with free flow allowed in the opposite direction thanks to an integrated check valve, facilitating easy and consistent speed adjustment.

Due to their space-saving and lightweight design, these valves are well-suited for use in compact machinery and systems where efficient space utilization is crucial.

Various types are available to cater to specific needs, such as cleanrooms requiring low-dust generation or environments where corrosion-resistant materials are essential.
