GO WITH THE FLOW REGULATOR AT API UK

At API UK, we understand the importance of controlling or restricting the air flow within a cylinder. For use with compressed air, our pneumatic flow regulators are manufactured to the highest quality standards to ensure optimal performance and control capabilities within your cylinder. Get your cylinder air flow under control with API UK.

Keep reading to learn more about our pneumatic flow control products and how our pneumatic flow regulator and restrictor function fittings can streamline your applications.

WHAT IS A FLOW REGULATOR?

A pneumatic flow regulator is a form of flow control that regulates the direction and speed of compressed air within a pneumatic system. Our range of pneumatic flow control regulators includes in-line flow restrictors, flow controls specifically for cylinders, exhaust restrictors and silenced exhaust restrictors. Our wide range of products and pneumatic accessories ensures there is always a flow regulator solution for your cylinder air control.

IN-LINE FLOW RESTRICTORS

API’s in-line flow restrictors work to control the speed and flow of air within a cylinder. If you only need flow control in one direction, then our unidirectional in-line flow restrictors are available in three specific versions. These include: unidirectional with female-female thread, unidirectional with push-in fitting, and unidirectional with a male thread on the inlet and push-in fitting on the outlet. For flow control in two directions, we also manufacture a bi-directional in-line flow restrictor option.

FLOW CONTROLS FOR CYLINDERS

Pneumatic flow controls from API Pneumatic UK are used to control the velocity within a cylinder. Our range includes unidirectional with outlet adjustment, unidirectional models with inlet adjustment, and bi-directional versions with adjustment of flow in two directions – all available from API UK. 

The different functionality of each version allows you to choose your flow control based on the demands of your specific applications.

For example, for cylinder velocity control, using two unidirectional flow controls with outlet adjustment won’t interfere with the inlet flow to the cylinder chambers, as they act on the exhaust flow from the chambers. For further support, our technical team can help you understand what type of flow control will work best for your application.

EXHAUST RESTRICTORS

Exhaust restrictors are another type of flow control or flow restrictor available from API, which are used to reduce the translation of velocity in cylinders. We take our exhaust restrictors one step further with our range of silenced exhaust restrictors. A flow control combined with a silencer takes two different functions and incorporates them into one handy product. Exhaust flow restrictors and silenced exhaust restrictors are usually installed on valve exhausts or quick exhaust valves.
