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 &Quot;Control In&Quot; (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 &Quot;Fiddling&Quot; 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. • &Quot;Control In&Quot; (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 &Quot;Pressure Shocks&Quot; 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 &Quot;Grip&Quot; 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 Prevost Conex Adjusting Screw Regulator Allows Maintenance Teams To &Quot;Set&Quot; 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 &Amp; 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 &Quot;In&Quot; 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. Prevost Conex Male Flow Regulator With Adjusting Screw (Control In)

Description

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

The Industry Standard for Precision Cylinder Speed Control

The Prevost Conex Male Flow Regulator with Adjusting Screw is a high-performance pneumatic valve designed to regulate the speed of air cylinders and actuators. This “Control Out” (Meter-Out) version is the industry-standard configuration for speed regulation. It controls the flow of air as it exhausts from the cylinder, providing a “cushioning” effect that results in smooth, stable, and chatter-free movement.

This model features a recessed slotted adjusting screw instead of a knob, making it ideal for low-profile installations and “set-and-forget” applications where tamper resistance is required.

Key Features

  • “Control Out” (Meter-Out) Logic: This regulator allows air to enter the cylinder freely at full speed but restricts the air as it exits. This back-pressure provides superior control over the piston, preventing the “jumpy” motion common in unregulated pneumatic systems.
  • Tamper-Resistant Adjustment: The recessed flat-head screw requires a tool for adjustment. This prevents accidental changes to the machine’s cycle speed by operators, ensuring consistent production quality and safety.
  • Ultra-Low Profile 90° Elbow: Without a protruding adjustment knob, this fitting is perfect for dense manifolds, robotic arms, and tight control cabinets where clearance is limited.
  • 360° Swivel Body: The valve body can be rotated fully around the nickel-plated brass threaded base after installation.1 This allows you to position the tubing exit at the perfect angle while keeping the adjustment screw accessible.
  • Instantaneous “Grip” Technology: The outlet port features Prevost’s signature stainless steel gripping ring. Simply push the technical tubing (PU, PA, or PE) in for an immediate, vibration-proof, and airtight seal.

Why Choose Meter-Out Control?

In almost all double-acting cylinder applications, Meter-Out (Control Out) is the preferred method of speed control. Because air is compressible, simply limiting the air entering a cylinder often results in the piston “lunging” once it overcomes static friction. By limiting the air leaving the cylinder, the Prevost Conex Regulator creates a steady resistance that allows for micro-precision speed adjustments even under varying loads.

Ideal Applications

  • Automated Assembly Lines: Setting a fixed, repeatable cycle time for stamping, pressing, or pick-and-place actuators.
  • Machine Tooling: Controlling the feed rate of pneumatic slides or clamping mechanisms.
  • Conveyor Systems: Regulating the speed of pneumatic gates and diverters to match line flow.
  • Confined Enclosures: Installations where a knob-style regulator would interfere with cabinet doors or other components.

Installation Tip

Identify the flow direction by looking for the etched arrow or “out” marking on the polymer body. The arrow on this model will point away from the male thread toward the tubing port, indicating that it regulates the exhaust flow. To adjust, use a precision flat-head screwdriver: turn clockwise to slow the cylinder speed and counter-clockwise to increase it.
