Regulation of the pneumatic actuator speed by restricting the
supply air
General
The choke valve is a combination of a supply air restrictor and
a check valve. It is used to regulate the speed of pneumatic
actuators. The flow rate of the supply air is regulated by an
adjustable restrictor. The exhaust air is released in the oppo-
site direction without restriction.
Special features
•• Adjustable supply air restrictor
•• Ambient temperature from –20 to +70 °C
•• Operating pressure 0.5 to 9.5 bar
•• G ¼ or G ½ threaded connections

1) The air flow rate when p1 = 2.4 bar and p2 = 1.0 bar is calculated using the following formula:
Q = KVS x 36.22 in m³/h.
