Hydraulic regulators series “HC” assure a constant speed of pneumatic cylinders during their working cycle. In fact in the control of tools, that during their movements meet different resistances ( i. e. violent impacts and vibrations) with the consequent variation of speed due to the use of only pneumatic control, you could obtain coarse finishes of the tooling till reach the breaking of the same tool. The hydraulic speed regulators exploit the oil incompressibility that, passing from a chamber to another one through an externally adjustable flow regulator, manages to uniform the speed and, with the uso of control valves, avoids dead times warranting perfectly repeatable stops independendently from the applied load. The adjustment can be made during the piston rod thrist phase, retract phase pr both.
The stop valve (STOP), mounted in-line on the circuit, and the acceleration valves (SKIP), mounted in-parallel, can be inserted in both the phases. These are poppet valves, two port, pneumatically actuated and therefore they have to be operated to make the STOP valve insert and to cu out the SKIP one.
