Legris flow control regulators control the speed of a pneumatic cylinder. The exhaust air flow is controlled by an adjustable restrictor. The inlet flow is unrestricted full bore. Depending upon the model, flow regulators may be fitted to the cylinder or in the compressed air line. However, flow regulation [ and therefore a cylinder displacement speed] is more precise and constant when positioned near the cylinder. In this way it is possible to avoid the elastic effect of the compressed air contained in the pipework between control valve and cylinder. Direct mounting of the banjo flow regulator fitting on to the cylinder is therefore the optimum solution. The large range of legris flow control regulators answers the specific need of modern pneumatic application.
