Smc Pneumatics AS1002F-01 In-line Air Flow Control Valve

Product Description

The SMC PNEUMATICS AS1002F-01 is an in-line air flow control valve designed to regulate airflow and actuator speed in pneumatic systems. It accepts a 1/8 inch tube outside diameter connection and uses an in-flow control configuration, meaning flow is metered in one direction while allowing free flow in the reverse. The body is constructed from polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), a reinforced thermoplastic suited for pneumatic plumbing environments. This valve is installed by pneumatic system technicians, automation maintenance personnel, and industrial plumbers working on compressed-air circuits.

The AS1002F-01 is suited for light industrial and automation applications where precise cylinder speed or actuator movement control is required. It fits inline along a pneumatic tubing run and operates within a working temperature range of -5 degrees C to 60 degrees C, making it appropriate for standard indoor factory and mechanical room environments. Typical installations include pneumatic cylinder feeds, valve islands, and directional control circuits where in-flow metering is the preferred control method.

Key Features

• In-line mounting configuration simplifies installation along existing tubing runs
• 1/8 inch tube OD connection fits standard small-bore pneumatic tubing
• In-flow control direction meters flow on entry, allowing free reverse flow
• Polybutylene terephthalate body provides resistance to mechanical stress in pneumatic environments
• Operating temperature range of -5 degrees C to 60 degrees C suits most indoor industrial conditions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation flow control valve for pneumatic systems using 1/8 inch outside diameter tubing in standard compressed-air circuits.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified pneumatic technicians or industrial maintenance personnel. Depressurize and bleed the compressed-air circuit fully before removing or installing any inline flow control component. Verify tube OD and confirm the in-flow direction matches the intended circuit orientation before final assembly. Follow applicable compressed-air safety standards and facility lockout/tagout procedures throughout the service process.
