AS1201F Speed Control 2201F Throttle Valve AS2201F-01-04S

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 mainly used for regulating the speed of pneumatic actuators by controlling the flow of compressed air.

Designed for low-speed control applications, these valves are ideal for achieving cylinder movement speeds between 1 mm/s and 50 mm/s, or 50 mm/s and 150 mm/s.

They are commonly used in pneumatic systems for general speed regulation, serving as meter-out flow control (typically via exhaust port throttling) in one direction, while allowing free flow in the opposite direction with a built-in check valve for easy and consistent speed setting.

These valves are suitable for applications that require compact and efficient components, as their space-saving and lightweight design makes them perfect for use in compact machinery and systems where space utilization is crucial.

For specialized environments, specific types of the AS series valves are available for use in cleanrooms with low dust generation and in environments where corrosion-resistant materials are necessary.
