SMC AS Series Speed Controller Speed Controller, Inlet Female, M3 M M3 x 0.5, Outlet Female

This speed controller regulates pneumatic flow to control actuator speed in automation and mechanical systems. It is designed for inline installation with a female threaded M3 inlet and outlet, and its construction uses steel to withstand typical industrial conditions. The unit operates within a defined pressure and temperature window suitable for many control tasks in electronics, electrical and mechanical applications.

• Maximum operating pressure 1MPa ensures consistent control under load
• Proof pressure 1.5MPa provides margin against short-term pressure spikes
• Operates down to 0.1MPa allowing fine control at low supply pressures
• Temperature range -5 to 60°C supports varied plant environments
• Female M3 inlet and outlet enable compact, secure connections
• Steel body offers durability for repeated service cycles

• Suitable for speed regulation on pneumatic cylinders in automation lines
• Ideal for use in pick-and-place equipment requiring precise motion control
• Used with pneumatic actuators in electrical panel assembly processes
• Can be used for flow adjustment in laboratory pneumatic test rigs

The inlet and outlet utilise female M3 threads with an M3x0.5 pitch suitable for metric M-series fittings.

It is rated to withstand transient pressures up to its 1.5MPa proof pressure without permanent deformation.

The steel construction offers resistance to mechanical wear

Yes, it is specified to regulate flow at supply pressures as low as 0.1MPa for low-pressure applications.
