What Is an Air Flow Regulator?
An air flow regulator is a device utilized in pneumatic equipment, such as industrial machinery and machine tools, to adjust the flow of air.
It allows for the adjustment of air flow while maintaining a consistent air pressure and is primarily applied to devices like air cylinders, compressors, air chucks, and air ejectors. The mechanism involves the inflow of air causing the diaphragm to deform due to air pressure, moving the slider, and ultimately activating the flow control valve to adjust the air flow.
This device consists of three components: an air filter, regulator, and flow control valve. It can be employed for various applications while maintaining a constant air pressure. When using it, it is important to choose the appropriate type and size of the air flow regulator.
