AirCraft Metal Flow Control 8mm x 3/8" Male Thread (SG MSC08-03)
At a Glance: Precision metal flow control valve with 8mm push-in tube port and 3/8" male thread—fine-tune airflow for smoother pneumatic motion.
In pneumatics, small adjustments can have big consequences—and the AirCraft SG MSC08-03 Metal Flow Control is built for exactly that kind of control. It connects 8mm PU tubing via a push-in port to a 3/8" male threaded connection, letting you fine-tune airflow for cylinder speed control, stabilising air circuits, and reducing harsh bursts in compressed air lines. Durable metal construction and an easy-to-adjust design make it a solid choice for machine pneumatics and workshop setups where reliability matters.
Restrict airflow in controlled steps to smooth out actuator movement, improve repeatability, and keep your compressed air system behaving predictably under load.
Features
- Adjustable flow control Enables accurate airflow restriction to suit your application.
- 8mm push-in tube connection Quick-fit installation for fast line routing and easy maintenance.
- 3/8" male thread Larger threaded connection for compatible pneumatic ports, valves, and manifolds.
- Metal construction Tough, workshop-ready build for dependable long service life.
- Compact profile Fits neatly into control boxes and tight pneumatic layouts.
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 while cycling the actuator. Start more open, then restrict gradually until motion is smooth and repeatable.
