AirTac Flow Ctrl Valve ASC Series

AirTAC ASC Series: One-Way Flow Control Valve

The AirTAC ASC Series is a high-precision, in-line flow control valve (also known as a speed controller) designed to regulate the speed of pneumatic actuators. These valves feature a "one-way" design: they restrict airflow in one direction (to control speed) while allowing free flow in the opposite direction (for rapid return or retraction).

The ASC series is known for its large flow capacity and stable adjustment characteristics, making it a staple for industrial automation where cylinder speed must be finely tuned.

Key Product Features

• Precision Metering: Features a fine-thread needle that allows for linear and stable adjustment of airflow, ensuring smooth cylinder movement without "lurching."

• Integrated Check Valve: The internal one-way mechanism ensures that air is restricted through the needle in one direction but bypasses the needle for unrestricted flow in the reverse.

• Locking Nut System: Equipped with a standard knurled locking nut to secure the adjustment screw, preventing accidental changes due to machine vibration.

• Large Flow Orifice: Designed to handle higher flow rates than typical "elbow-style" speed controllers, reducing backpressure in high-speed applications.

• Flexible Mounting: The compact, inline design can be mounted directly into the piping or secured via an optional bracket for organized pneumatic panels.
