Operating principle Pressure, Stroke PH Cylinder movement PR A B C PH PR Pressure, Stroke D PR Cylinder movement by flow valve F Cylinder movement by speed control valve PH PR E PH Time Time 1. The cylinder starts smoothly because jerks are prevented by meter-in control. Jerk prevention 3. To prevent delay due to the pressure gap, air is rapidly exhausted to decrease the pressure from D to E, after which the piston moves at a constant speed. If a speed controller is used instead of the flow valve, exhausting air will take more time as illustrated by line D-F, resulting in longer stop time of the cylinder and a conseuent time loss. Quick exhaust. When the cylinder reaches the stroke end, the uick air charge by the flow valve rapidly increases the rear side pressure (PH) from A to B. If a speed controller is used instead of the flow valve, charging air will take more time as illustrated by line A- C, causing delay in the pressure rise. Quick supply. The cylinder operates at a low pressure reuired for a return. Low pressure operation
Series ASR / Series ASQ Selection and Adjustment Install a flow valve on the working side which reuires the cylinder output and a pressure valve on the return side. The product cannot be used in cases where the same pressure is necessary for both working and return strokes. In such cases use a speed controller. Horizontal mounting Low pressure side: High pressure side: Low pressure side Series ASR High pressure side Series ASQ Refer to Adjustment Procedure 1 for pressure and speed adjustment. Vertical mounting Low pressure side: High pressure side: Series Low pressure side ASR Series ASQ High pressure side In case the load ratio is % or lower at the set pressure of the flow valve: Refer to Adjustment Procedure 1 for pressure and speed adjustment. If the load ratio at the set pressure of the flow valve exceeds %, install a dual speed controller (meter-in and meter out control) on the high pressure side. Low pressure side: High pressure side: Dual speed controller Series Low pressure side ASR Dual speed controller (Meter-in Meter-out) Series High pressure side ASD Refer to Adjustment Procedure for pressure and speed adjustment. 3
Air Saving Valve Series ASR / Series ASQ Adjustment Procedure 1 Pressure adjustment 1. The fixed set pressure type (-F) does not reuire adjustment because the pressure is fixed at. MPa for both the pressure valve and the flow valve.. The set pressures of the variable set pressure type pressure valve and flow valve are adjusted with knob A and knob B respectively. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the pressure and counterclockwise to decrease the pressure. 3. The graduations 1, and 3 correspond to.1,. and.3 MPa respectively. Align the bottom end of the knob with the graduated line for adjustment. 3 Align the bottom end of the knob with the graduated line. The figure illustrates the case in which the pressure is set at. MPa.. Set the same pressure for the pressure valve and the flow valve (. MPa as the recommended value).. The inlet side should be supplied with a pressure which is higher than the set pressure by.1 MPa or more.. Cap the valve after adjustment. Speed control 1. The cylinder speed is adjusted with knobs C, D and E. First have all the knobs fully closed and then open them gradually for adjustment. Turn the knob clockwise to close (decrease the speed of the piston rod) and counterclockwise to open (increase the speed of the piston rod).. Speed adjustment for the working stroke The speed is adjusted with the pressure valve and the flow valve. Open knobs C and E gradually until the reuired speed is achieved. Make sure that knobs C and E are opened by the same number of rotations. Note 1) If the piston rod jerks, close knob E until the smooth operation is achieved. 3. Speed adjustment for return stroke The speed is adjusted with the flow valve. Open knob D gradually until the reuired speed is achieved.. Be sure to tighten the lock nut after adjustment. Adjustment Procedure Pressure adjustment Pressure Valve / Series ASR C A 1. The fixed set pressure type (-F) does not reuire adjustment because the pressure is fixed at. MPa.. The pressure at the low pressure side (return stroke side) is adjusted by the pressure valve. 3. The set pressure is adjusted with knob A. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the pressure and counterclockwise to decrease the pressure.. The graduations 1, and 3 correspond to.1,. and.3 MPa respectively. Align the bottom end of the knob with the graduated line for adjustment.. Keep the set pressure as low as possible in order to achieve good air saving effect.. Cap the valve after adjustment. Flow Valve / Series ASQ D Speed control B E 1. The cylinder speed is adjusted with knobs C, F and G. First have all the knobs fully closed and then open them gradually for adjustment. Turn the knob clockwise to close (decrease the speed of the pistoin rod) and counterclockwise to open (increase the speed of the piston rod).. Speed adjustment for the working stroke The speed is adjusted with the pressure valve and the dual speed controller. Open knobs C and G gradually until the reuired speed is achieved. Make sure that knobs C and G are opened by the same number of rotations. Note 1) If the piston rod jerks, close knob G until the smooth operation is achieved. 3. Speed adjustment for return stroke The speed is adjusted with the dual speed controller. Open knob F gradually until the reuired speed is achieved.. Be sure to tighten the lock nut after adjustment.
