Features:
- Actuator-speed adjustment at the port: Flow is tuned close to the cylinder, reducing the effect of unnecessary tubing volume.
- Meter-out stability: Exhaust control supports steadier cylinder motion for common pneumatic loads.
- Integrated elbow connection: The one-touch fitting and angled body simplify tube routing in compact machinery.
AS3201F-02-06SA is a pneumatic speed controller that combines a meter-out needle valve, check function and elbow tube fitting.
It allows supply flow in the free direction while restricting exhaust in the controlled direction to set actuator speed.
Correct selection depends on the thread, tube size, control direction, working fluid and space available for the rotating elbow body.

Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
- Meter-out control: The adjustable path restricts exhaust flow so the actuator is not driven only by unrestricted supply pressure.
- Free reverse flow: The check path allows air to pass in the opposite direction for the return stroke.
- Needle retention: The retained adjustment element reduces the risk of accidental loss during setup.
- Lock-nut security: The standard lock nut secures the adjusted needle after the required motion is achieved.
- Port identity: The actuator connection must match the R1/4 thread rather than a visually similar metric or NPT port.
- Tube identity: The one-touch fitting is selected for 6 mm outside-diameter tubing.
- Sealed thread option: The suffix includes factory-applied sealant, so installation should avoid excess added material entering the pneumatic circuit.
- Elbow routing: The body can be oriented to keep tubing clear of moving machine parts.
- Restricted start: Begin with low speed and open the adjustment gradually to prevent an unexpected fast stroke.
- Loaded proof: Final tuning uses the real workpiece and load because cylinder speed changes with machine resistance.
- Two-direction check: Verify both controlled exhaust motion and free-flow return after adjustment.
- Leak inspection: Confirm the threaded port and tube insertion are sealed before locking the final setting.
- Pneumatic cylinder control: Sets extension or retraction speed on compatible meter-out circuits.
- Compact assembly machines: Routes tubing close to the actuator where straight fittings would consume space.
- Packaging mechanisms: Tunes repetitive cylinder motion for stops, guides and transfer elements.
- Maintenance replacement: Restores an identified AS controller while retaining the verified thread and tube arrangement.
