SMC Type Cylinder Pneumatic Speed Control Throttle Valve Connector AS2201F-01-06S

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.
