Flow control valves Series SCU, MCU, SVU, MVU, SCO, MCO
Unidirectional and bidirectional banjo flow control regulators
Ports: M5, G1/8, G1/4, G3/8, G1/2
Ports: M5, G1/8, G1/4, G3/8, G1/2
These unidirectional and bidirectional flow controllers have been designed as small as possible so as to be mounted directly on valves or cylinders.
The great variety of adjustable fittings makes it possible to complete the regulator with the most suitable system in relation to the available tube.

Only the G1/2 model is supplied complete with banjo flow controllers.
For the other models the banjo flow controller is to be requested separately.
General Data
| Construction | Needle type |
| Valve group | Unidirectional and bidirectional controller |
| Materials | Body and regulation screw: M5 = stainless steel; 1/8 – 1/4 – 3/8 – 1/2 = OT; seals = NBR |
| Mounting | By male thread |
| Ports | M5 – G1/8 – G1/4 – G3/8 – G1/2 |
| Installation | In any position |
| Operating temperature | 0°C ÷ 80°C (with dry air – 20°C) |
| Operating pressure | 1 ÷ 10 bar |
| Nominal pressure | 6 bar |
| Nominal flow | See graph |
| Nominal diameter Ø [mm] | M5 = 1,5 mm – G1/8 = 2 mm – G1/4 = 4 mm – G3/8 = 7 mm – G1/2 = 12 mm |
| Fluid | Filtered air If lubricated air is used, it is recommended to use ISOVG 32 oil. Once applied the lubrication should never be interrupted. |
Coding Example
| M | CU | 7 | 02 | – | M5 |
| M | ACTUATION M = Manual S = Screwdriver |
| CU | ASSEMBLY CU = On cylinders unidirectional VU = On valves unidirectional CO = Bidirectional |
| 7 | VERSIONS 6 = Needle (screwdriver operated) 7 = Needle (manual operated) |
| 02 | NOMINAL DIAMETER 02 = Ø1,5 max 04 = Ø2 max 06 = Ø4 max 08 = Ø7 max 10 = Ø12 max |
| M5 | PORTS M5 = M5 1/8 = G1/8 1/4 = G1/4 3/8 = G3/8 1/2 = G1/2 |
To ensure the right choice of unidirectional flow controller, proceed as follows: calculate the quantity of air in Nl/min (see cylinder Table); determine the stroke time of the cylinder; refer to graph to see which controller is the right type.
