Smc Pneumatics AS3002F-11 Air Flow Control Valve 3/8 in

Product Description

The SMC PNEUMATICS AS3002F-11 is an in-line air flow control valve designed to regulate and meter airflow in pneumatic systems. It connects via tube fitting with a 3/8 inch outside diameter and features unidirectional in-flow control, allowing technicians to precisely govern actuator speed and cylinder movement. The body is molded from polybutylene terephthalate, a material that resists heat, moisture, and common pneumatic system contaminants. This valve is rated for operation between -5 degrees C and 60 degrees C, making it suitable for a broad range of industrial and commercial service conditions. Pneumatic system technicians and maintenance professionals install this component during system assembly or as a direct replacement in existing flow-control circuits.

The AS3002F-11 is used in pneumatic control circuits where actuator speed must be set or adjusted. Typical installations include automated manufacturing equipment, air-cylinder-driven tooling, conveyor systems, and process control panels. The in-line tube connection style fits directly into a pneumatic tube run without the need for additional fittings or adapters, simplifying installation in tight panel spaces or along equipment frames. This valve is well suited for both original equipment builds and field service replacement work.

Key Features

• In-line tube connection accepts 3/8 inch OD pneumatic tubing
• Unidirectional in-flow control for precise actuator and cylinder speed regulation
• Polybutylene terephthalate body resists heat, humidity, and common industrial contaminants
• Operating temperature range of -5 degrees C to 60 degrees C for broad environmental coverage
• Compact in-line form factor fits directly into existing tube runs

Compatibility

Designed as a flow and speed control replacement for pneumatic systems using 3/8 inch OD tube connections and requiring in-line, in-flow valve configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pneumatic systems technician. Depressurize and lock out the pneumatic circuit completely before removing or installing any flow control valve. Confirm tube OD matches the valve fitting before insertion, and seat the tube fully to ensure a leak-free connection. After installation, gradually restore system pressure and verify actuator speed and valve function before returning equipment to service.
