Air Saving Valve Series ASR /Series ASQ
Operating principle
Working stroke Return stroke
1. The cylinder starts smoothly because jerks are prevented by
meter-in control.
3. To prevent delay due to the pressure gap, air is rapidly exhausted to
decrease the pressure from Dto E, after which the piston moves at a
constant speed. If a speed controller is used instead of the flow valve,
exhausting air will take more time as illustrated by line D-F,resulting in
longer stop time of the cylinder and a consequent time loss.
4. The cylinder operates at a low pressure required for a return.
2. When the cylinder reaches the stroke end, the quick air charge by the
flow valve rapidly increases the rear side pressure (PH) from Ato B. If a
speed controller is used instead of the flow valve, charging air will take
more time as illustrated by line A-C, causing delay in the pressure rise.

Install a flow valve on the working side which requires the cylinder output and a pressure valve on the return side. The product cannot be used in
cases where the same pressure is necessary for both working and return strokes.
In such cases use a speed controller.

1. The cylinder speed is adjusted with knobs C,Dand E. First
have all the knobs fully closed and then open them gradually for
adjustment. Turn the knob clockwise to close (decrease the
speed of the piston rod) and counterclockwise to open (increase
the speed of the piston rod).
2. Speed adjustment for the working stroke
The speed is adjusted with the pressure valve and the flow
valve.
Open knobs CandEgradually until the required speed is
achieved. Make sure that knobs Cand Eare opened by the
same number of rotations.
Note 1) If the piston rod jerks, close knob Euntil the smooth
operation is achieved.
3. Speed adjustment for return stroke
The speed is adjusted with the flow valve.
Open knob Dgradually until the required speed is achieved.
4. Be sure to tighten the lock nut after adjustment.

Adjustment Procedure 2
1. The fixed set pressure type (-F20) does not require adjustment
because the pressure is fixed at 0.2 MPa for both the pressure
valve and the flow valve.
2. The set pressures of the variable set pressure type pressure valve
and flow valve are adjusted with knob Aand knob Brespectively.
Turn the knob clockwise to increase thepressure and
counterclockwise to decrease the pressure.
3. The graduations 1, 2 and 3 correspond to 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 MPa
respectively. Align the bottom end of the knob with the graduated
line for adjustment.
4. Set the same pressure for the pressure valve and the flow valve
(0.2 MPa as the recommended value).
5. The inlet side should be supplied with a pressure which is higher
than the set pressure by 0.1 MPa or more.
6. Cap the valve after adjustment.

1. The fixed set pressure type (-F20) does not require adjustment
because the pressure is fixed at 0.2 MPa.
2. The pressure at the low pressure side (return stroke side) is
adjusted by the pressure valve.
3. The set pressure is adjusted with knob A. Turn the knob clockwise
to increase the pressure and counterclockwise to decrease the
pressure.
4. The graduations 1, 2 and 3 correspond to 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 MPa
respectively. Align the bottom end of the knob with the graduated
line for adjustment.
5. Keep the set pressure as low as possible in order to achieve good
air saving effect.
