Smc Pneumatics AS2002F-06 Flow Control Valve 6mm

Product Description

The SMC PNEUMATICS AS2002F-06 is an inline flow control valve designed to regulate airflow in pneumatic systems. It uses a needle-valve mechanism to control the rate of airflow on the inlet side of the circuit, allowing precise speed control of pneumatic actuators and cylinders. The body is constructed from polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), a glass-reinforced thermoplastic well suited to compressed-air environments. The valve connects to 6mm outside-diameter tubing on the push-in end and threads into a 1/4 inch male port on the component side. It is installed by pneumatic system technicians and maintenance professionals working on automated or industrial equipment.

This valve is suited for applications where metered inlet flow control is required on pneumatic actuators in light industrial, automation, and process equipment environments. The offset inline body orientation keeps plumbing compact in tight panel or manifold installations. With a 6mm tube OD push-in connection and a 1/4 inch male thread, it fits standard pneumatic porting found on many cylinders, valves, and actuator bodies in both OEM assembly and field-service settings.

Key Features

• Inlet flow control (in-flow) configuration for precise actuator speed regulation
• Offset inline body keeps installation profile compact in tight spaces
• Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) body for durability in compressed-air service
• 6mm outside-diameter push-in tube connection for quick, tool-free tubing attachment
• 1/4 inch male thread for direct porting into standard pneumatic component inlets

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service component for pneumatic systems using 6mm OD tubing and 1/4 inch male-threaded ports, typical in light industrial automation and process control equipment.

Installation Notes

Depressurize the pneumatic circuit fully before removing or installing any flow control valve. This valve is typically installed by pneumatic technicians or industrial maintenance personnel familiar with compressed-air systems. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely before inserting into the push-in fitting to maintain a reliable seal. Hand-tighten the male thread into the mating port and verify there are no air leaks before returning the circuit to service.
