More Information

Overview Manuals Flow Function Connection Fit Commissioning Applications

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.

Apter Power can help confirm the SMC AS3201F-02-06SA AS Series Meter-Out Elbow Speed Controller with One-Touch Fitting and actuator connection before quotation.

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.
Description
AS3201F-02-06SA controls pneumatic actuator exhaust flow in a compact elbow body, allowing cylinder speed to be tuned close to the port while the tube leaves at a convenient angle. The one-touch fitting reduces separate connection hardware and supports faster machine assembly.

The meter-out function on AS3201F-02-06SA meters exhaust rather than supply flow, helping stabilize ordinary cylinder motion against changing load. A retained needle, standard lock nut and sealed pipe-thread option support repeatable setup and reduce unintended movement after commissioning.

Technical notes
Confirm meter-out control, the actuator port thread, 6 mm tubing and available elbow clearance before fitting AS3201F-02-06SA. Install the sealed pipe thread without adding excess sealant, push the tube fully into the fitting and set speed gradually from a restricted condition. Verify motion in both directions under the actual machine load.

FAQS

The following is a list of questions commonly asked by our customers. Please contact us if you have a question about our process that is not answered below.
A cylinder fitted with AS3201F-02-06SA jumps at the start of travel. What should be checked before replacing the valve?
Confirm the controller is installed in the meter-out direction, then begin from a more restricted setting and inspect the cylinder load and air supply. Wrong orientation or excessive initial opening can create unstable motion.
The tube can be inserted into AS3201F-02-06SA but pulls out under pressure. Is the fitting usable?
Stop the machine, cut the tube square, inspect its surface and reinsert it fully. If the collet or seal remains damaged or cannot retain the specified tube, replace the controller rather than relying on partial engagement.
A supplier offers the same AS body with an 8 mm fitting instead of AS3201F-02-06SA. Can an adapter make it equivalent?
Do not treat it as the same configuration. An adapter changes space, leakage points and flow behavior; order the 6 mm tube version unless the pneumatic design is formally revised.
The actuator port already contains liquid thread sealant. Should more be added when installing AS3201F-02-06SA?
No routine extra sealant is needed because this suffix includes the sealed-thread option. Remove loose contamination and follow SMC installation practice so material does not enter the air passage.
Cylinder speed changes after the adjustment on AS3201F-02-06SA is disturbed during cleaning. How should the setting be restored?
Run the actuator with its normal load, adjust gradually to the approved cycle behavior and tighten the standard lock nut without shifting the needle. Record the final cycle result so later movement is detectable.
A machine requires supply-side flow control rather than exhaust control. Is AS3201F-02-06SA the correct choice?
No. This code is meter-out. Select the manufacturer-defined meter-in configuration only after confirming the circuit objective; reversing the device is not a substitute for the correct control type.
