Air Flow Control Valve Operation

A control valve is a valve used to control fluid flow by varying the size of the flow passage as directed by a signal from a controller.

Air flow control valve operation.

Also known as 4 way and 5 3 closed center valves. Valves operate with lubricated or nonlubricated compressed air and are easily plumbed into the system. Due to the free central flow design and automatic self cleaning feature of the segment edges during valve operation flushing connections are provided. These valves close all ports in the off position to stop equipment in a locked position with air pressure holding it in place.

Selecting the right flow control valve. Simple installation and commissioning. 4 way 3 position manual air control valves provide high flow. Unlike a needle valve a flow control valve regulates air flow in only one direction allowing free flow in the opposite direction.

Often used to extend and then retract a cylinder at different speeds they create two actions and have two exhaust ports which allows you to control the speed of each action by attaching a flow control valve to each exhaust port. Designed for continuous operation particularly suitable for variable duties. They create two actions and have two exhaust ports which allows you to control the speed of each action by attaching a flow control valve to each exhaust port. This enables the direct control of flow rate and the consequential control of process quantities such as pressure temperature and liquid level.

Balanced spool and sleeve design with easy operation regardless of system pressure.
