AirCraft Metal Flow Control 8mm x 1/4" Male Thread (SG MSC08-02)
At a Glance: Precision metal flow control valve with 8mm push-in tube port and 1/4" male thread—dial in stable airflow and smoother pneumatic motion.
If your pneumatic system needs controlled airflow instead of full-volume chaos, the AirCraft SG MSC08-02 Metal Flow Control is the small part that makes a big difference. It connects 8mm PU tubing via a push-in port to a 1/4" male threaded connection, giving you adjustable airflow for better cylinder speed control, smoother movement, and more predictable compressed air performance. Durable metal construction and an easy-to-adjust design make it ideal for workshop and machine pneumatics where reliability matters.
Tune airflow precisely to reduce jolts, improve repeatability, and keep actuators and air circuits running smoothly under working pressure.
Features
- Adjustable flow control Allows accurate restriction of airflow to suit the application.
- 8mm push-in tube connection Quick-fit installation for fast line routing and easy maintenance.
- 1/4" male thread Common threaded connection size for many pneumatic ports and manifolds.
- Metal construction Tough, workshop-ready build for dependable long service life.
- Compact profile Fits neatly into pneumatic layouts and control boxes.
Benefits
- Smoother actuator movement: Helps prevent harsh starts/stops and improves control on cylinders.
- Less noise and wasted air: Use only the airflow you need for quieter, more efficient operation.
- Faster tuning and troubleshooting: Simple adjustment speeds up setup and performance optimisation.
Extra Information
- Ideal for pneumatic cylinders, actuator speed control, air circuits, and regulated compressed air lines.
- For best sealing, use clean, square-cut 8mm tubing and ensure it is fully seated in the push-in port.
- Many flow controls are directional—check for any arrow/markings on the body (if present) to confirm recommended flow direction.
- Admin info (not for specs table): Confirm product weight and dimensions from your database / packaging.
Pro Tip
- Adjust under working pressure and cycle the actuator while tuning. Aim for smooth motion first—then lock in the setting for repeatable performance.
Safety
- Always depressurise the air system before installing, removing, or adjusting pneumatic fittings.
- Wear eye protection when working with compressed air lines and push-in fittings.
- Do not over-tighten threaded connections—tighten securely and use an appropriate thread seal (if required).
- After installation, perform a leak test and verify stable operation before returning equipment to service.
