And how to regulate the speed in pneumatics?

Animations - Speed controller In order to regulate the speed in a compressed air system we need to use speed controllers or also called one-way flow controllers. These components are small valves used to reduce the flow rate of a pneumatic actuator, thus controlling the speed of the actuator. These regulators reduce the operating speed of a pneumatic actuator in one direction.

 

As a picture is worth a thousand words, here are some animations of two speed controllers, one for in and one for out.

 

What an easy way to understand how a speed controller works! Download these animations where you will be able to see in a sectional view how this component used in compressed air systems works
