Speed controller meter out speed cotroller in line.
Pneumatic speed control valve symbol.
In the hydraulic valve fluid is returned to the tank from port t.
A close study of most air logic control circuits will reveal that there are only six basic valve functions commonly used.
They control the speed of air powered equipment by adjusting the volume of airflow.
When it succeeds it s invisible.
Made of plastic and stainless steel parts they have excellent corrosion resistance.
For example the note 2 300 rf pb indicates that the p id calls for this valve to be a 2 ansi 300 raised face piston balanced valve.
An engineer may also include specific details below the control valve symbol.
Mount these valves directly to cylinder ports eliminating additional tubing between the cylinder and valve for better control than inline valves.
Directional air control valves are the building blocks of pneumatic control.
Hydraulic and pneumatic picture symbols for fluid power schematics define their function in engineering drawings diagrams or plans.
The symbols for these valve functions are shown in left graphic.
The symbol depicts a non return or check valve which restricts the air supply so that it air is restricted in one direction and free flowing in the other direction.
As the phrase fluid power implies these symbols cover both hydraulic and pneumatic components.
These six basic valve symbols when combined with the basic actuator symbols comprise virtually all the directional valve symbols needed for air logic control.
Pneumatic circuit symbols representing these valves provide detailed information about the valve they represent.
Mechanical and air operated valves.
Pneumatic diagrams representing pneumatic systems have defined ways they are represented.
Any exceptions are noted.
Most control valves however have four ports shown in hydraulic and pneumatic forms in figure 4 1.
Unidirectional flow control valves are used to limit the speed of the cylinder s operation by controlling the flow direction of compressed air.
In the pneumatic valve return air is vented from port r.
Pneumatic systems are still popular in older plants and even in modern plants where their use is inevitable.
These symbols needs to be understood before you can correctly interpret pneumatic drawings and diagrams.

Pneumatic symbols only when the design fails does it draw attention to itself.
They are commonly represented with symbols.
