One-way flow control valves only restrict the flow in one direction; in the reverse direction the full flow is freely available. One-way flow control valves are used, among other things, to set the speed of pneumatic cylinders.
The piston speed of both advancing and retracting pneumatic cylinders can be regulated using one-way flow control valves from Festo. This is achieved by reducing the flow rate in the exhaust air or supply air direction. The non-return function works in the opposite direction.
Below we present our highlights of one-way flow control valves from the Festo Core Range.
