SKNSC Series Stainless Steel Speed Controllers

Features & Key Specifications

Direct Port-Mounted Speed Control: Mounts directly on a cylinder or valve to provide the most responsive and accurate control over actuator speed, with a secure quick screw connection rated up to 3.0 MPa (30 bar).

Extreme Environment Performance: Designed to withstand an ultra-wide temperature range of -50°C to 300°C, making it suitable for controlling actuators in both freezers and industrial ovens.

Precise Needle Adjustment: The knurled adjustment knob allows for fine-tuning of the flow rate for smooth and controlled motion.

Superior 316L Stainless Steel: Offers maximum resistance to corrosion from aggressive liquids, steam, and harsh cleaning agents.

Application Fields

Cylinder Speed Control: The primary application is to control the extend and retract speed of a pneumatic cylinder in harsh environments.

High-Temperature Automation: Regulating speed on actuators used in industrial ovens, furnaces, and sterilization equipment.

Chemical Processing: A durable, corrosion-resistant fitting for controlling actuator speed in aggressive atmospheres.

Technical & Selection Guide

For the smoothest and most stable control, it is recommended to use the meter-out method, where the speed controller restricts the air exhausting from the cylinder. The secure quick screw connection is ideal for applications where vibration or pressure spikes could compromise a standard push-in fitting.

FAQ

Q: Is this a bi-directional flow controller?

A: No, this is typically a uni-directional flow controller. It restricts flow in one direction (for control) and allows free flow in the reverse direction.

Q: What makes this different from a standard speed controller?

A: The 316L stainless steel construction and the quick screw connection. This makes it suitable for much higher pressures, a wider temperature range, and more corrosive environments than a standard aluminum or plastic speed controller.
