Matching Flow Diagrams to Replace an Air Directional Control Valve

Choosing an Air Directional Control Valve

About Flow Control Valves

Also known as cylinder speed controls, flow control valves let you control the extension or retraction speed of your air cylinder. They regulate airflow as it passes from the valve's inlet to its outlet. Air flows freely in the opposite direction.

Flow-Control Mufflers

Adjust the flow by turning the screw. Use these mufflers with air-powered tools and cylinders to reduce noise and filter exhaust fumes.

For mufflers with a thumb screw, twist the screw and friction secures them in place—no need to use a wrench. Often used in valve exhaust ports, these mufflers are not as secure as those with a nut.

Brass, bronze, and nylon mufflers offer good corrosion resistance.

Air-Exhaust Flow Control Valves

Thumb Screw Flow Adjustment

Install these valves in the exhaust ports of air directional control valves to control exhaust air speed without needing access to your cylinder. They control flow in one direction as air moves from the inlet to the exhaust port (meter out). Air flows freely in the opposite direction. Valves exhaust to the atmosphere and include a muffler to reduce the exhaust noise.

Flow coefficient (Cv) is a measurement that indicates how much airflow can pass through a valve. When selecting between valves with the same port size, choose the valve with the higher flow coefficient to ensure it provides enough airflow to operate your system.
