Pneumatic air flow regulator 90°: thread 1/8 and hose 10 mm

Too fast a cylinder can turn a simple shift into a blow. So when setting the tyre, I first check how much air passes through the connection, and then I choose the appropriate solution. Pneumatic air flow regulator 90° with male thread 1/8 and quick hose connection 10 mm allows flow limitation and thus influences the speed of the pneumatic cylinder. The price is EUR 3 with 22% VAT includedA small cost, but the choice must be technically correct!

Maintenance, Service and Automation

Potential buyers include manufacturers, tyre repairers, machine manufacturers, automation installers, smaller workshops and prototype developers. As I suppose the widest group maintainers and repairers, as they take care of installations in many activities. It's an estimate without a market census.

The damper may be reasonable to adjust displacements when clamping, pushing or positioning, provided that its certified characteristics correspond to a specific machine.

Cylinder flow and speed regulation

The damper limits the passage of the air. The change in flow may change the speed of movement, but movement is also affected by load, pressure, friction and the rest of the system. The same adjustment therefore does not guarantee the same speed on two different cylinders. Nor does it determine the exact position of the plunger.

This is not a pressure regulator, a flowmeter or a safety stop valve. By adjusting, we do not read litres per minute and do not provide constant output pressure. Adequate components are required to safely close the inlet or relieve the system.

Festo explains in a professional presentation that in the case of DC controllers, the cylinder speed is set by limiting the intake or discharge air. Camozzi distinguishes between one-way and two-way versions in his catalogue. These are explanations of the overall functioning; do not demonstrate the same internal design of this product.

Thread 1/8 and outer diameter of hose 10 mm

The markings describe two different connections. 1/8 is the nominal size of the male thread, while 10 mm means the outer diameter of the pipe for quick connection. The 10 mm inner diameter tube is therefore not automatically suitable. Nor should the nominal thread measure simply be converted into its actual outer diameter.

• Men's thread 1/8: intended to be connected in a suitable female thread.
• Fast connection 10 mm: intended tubes with an external diameter of 10 mm; the appropriate material and tolerance of the hose shall also be checked.
• POM material and brass: a combination of technical plastic and metal threaded parts.
• Angle 90°: the hose shall be perpendicular to the axis of the threaded connection.
• Price 3 EUR: includes 22% VAT.

The thread standard for this model is not confirmed. Therefore, check that the device requires G, R or NPT, and get information for the product selected. A similar size and initial threading match do not yet constitute compatibility. An inadequate coupling may damage the thread or leak.

Angle connection 90° and tube space

Angular design allows different pipe control than straight connector. It can be useful in the case of a cylinder or other component where we want to take the tube away. There shall be sufficient space for the permitted hose bending radius, access to adjustment and subsequent maintenance.

The 90° marking does not mean that the housing is rotating. Rotation during assembly or operation is not confirmed. Nor can it be concluded from the shape that the connection is intended for continuous rotation. If you need a rotational joint, request explicit confirmation of this characteristic.

POM and brass: a sensible combination of materials

POM is a technical plastic known for rigidity, dimensional stability and low friction. The brass threaded part ensures metal performance at the screw point. The design purpose of the combination is to use different materials according to the task of each part instead of requiring one material to perform all functions.

This does not yet determine the load capacity, chemical resistance or lifetime of the entire regulator. These depend on performance, seals, loads and working conditions. We do not promise a certain number of cycles or years of use. Check the compatibility of the whole assembly for contact with cleaners, oils or other substances.

Comparison: silencer, angle coupling and pressure regulator

When comparing the bid, I first compare the function. A conventional angle connection may be suitable for connecting the pipe, but it does not replace adjustable damping. The pressure regulator solves the second task. The choice depends on the problem.

The advantage of the muffler presented in front of the regular angle connection is possibility to set the flow limit.

Simple setting and practical example

When setting, I recommend small changes and verification of impact at actual load. We do not determine the universal number of turns or direction of rotation set since the manufacturer's data are not available. Before accessing the connections, close the feed, relieve the system and prevent unexpected movements.

Also check direction of damping. Terms metre-in and meter-out means limiting the inlet or outlet air of the cylinder. It is not confirmed for this product which performance it has or is suffocating in both directions and whether it includes a non-return function. Do not assume that from appearance!

Correct choice: pre-order information

Before use, obtain the supplier’s technical sheet or written confirmation of the key features:

1. The threading standard, the method of sealing and the gasket data.
2. Allowed operating pressure, temperature range and suitability for the medium used.
3. The flow or suffocating characteristic of the required time moves.
4. Direction of damping, possible irreversible function and intended installation location.
5. Rotation, assembly instructions and permissible tightening torques.

The indication of POM and brass alone is not sufficient for the nutritional or pharmaceutical environment. The materials do not demonstrate compliance with HACCP or GMP requirements or suitability for food contact. Relevance depends on requirements of use and evidence for the whole assembly, including gaskets and the actual method of installation.

Affordable and local: Ljubljana and thought-out savings

At a price of EUR 3 with VAT, the component can be a good starting point for an appropriate solution. However cheaper not always order the cheapest part: wrong thread or inadequate function means additional work. So I first look for savings in the right choice and setup. Suffocation does not in itself guarantee reduced consumption of compressed air or electricity.

To check the selection locally World of Inks, Ljubljana, address for inquiry. Send a photo of the connector, the cylinder mark, the outer diameter of the tube, and the pressure, temperature and desired movement information. Select based on technical matching, not just photos!

Is it really economical to insist on the jerky operation of the machine if it would make sense to check first the correct selection and setting of the component for EUR 3?
