Prevost Conex Male Flow Regulator With Adjusting Screw (Control In)

Description

Prevost Conex Male Flow Regulator with Adjusting Screw (Control In)

Low-Profile, Tamper-Resistant Speed Control

The Prevost Conex Male Flow Regulator with Adjusting Screw is a high-precision pneumatic control valve designed to manage the speed of pneumatic actuators. This “Control In” (Meter-In) version regulates the flow of air entering the cylinder or tool.

Unlike the knob-style version, this model features a recessed slotted adjusting screw. This low-profile design is specifically engineered for applications where space is extremely limited or where you want to prevent accidental or unauthorized “fiddling” with the speed settings once they have been dialed in.

Key Features

• Tamper-Resistant Adjustment: The flat-head screw interface requires a tool for adjustment. This is ideal for production lines where a specific cycle speed must be maintained to ensure quality and safety, preventing operators from manually speeding up or slowing down the machinery.
• “Control In” (Meter-In) Logic: Regulates the air as it flows from the supply line into the actuator port. This provides excellent control for single-acting cylinders, specific timing circuits, and preventing “pressure shocks” in sensitive pneumatic systems.
• Ultra-Low Profile: Without a protruding knob, this fitting is much less likely to snag on moving parts or wires. It is the perfect choice for dense manifolds and compact robotic assemblies.
• 360° Swivel Body: The elbow body rotates fully around the threaded base, allowing you to align the tubing exit perfectly while keeping the adjustment screw accessible.
• Instantaneous “Grip” Technology: The outlet features the standard Conex push-in mechanism with a stainless steel gripping ring, ensuring a leak-free and vibration-proof connection to your PU or Nylon tubing.

The “Set-and-Forget” Advantage

In a high-speed manufacturing environment, consistency is everything. The Prevost Conex Adjusting Screw Regulator allows maintenance teams to “set” the machine’s rhythm. Once the desired stroke speed is achieved, the recessed screw stays in place, unaffected by the vibrations of the machine. This ensures that the pneumatic system performs exactly the same way on Monday morning as it did on Friday afternoon.

Ideal Applications

• Production Line Actuators: Maintaining consistent cycle times for stamping, cutting, or sorting operations.
• Safety Doors & Guards: Setting a fixed, safe closing speed that cannot be easily altered by unauthorized personnel.
• Dense Control Cabinets: Fitting into tight gaps where a protruding knob would interfere with the cabinet door or other components.
• Single-Acting Spring Return Cylinders: Providing smooth extension speed by metering the incoming air.

Installation Tip

To identify the flow direction, look for the etched arrow or “in” marking on the polymer body. To adjust the flow, use a precision flat-head screwdriver. Turning clockwise reduces the airflow (slowing the cylinder), while turning counter-clockwise increases the flow.
