The drive control valve for constant speed is for driving a pneumatic actuator at a constant speed by use of a meter-out control mode, and includes a nonreturn valve for blocking discharged air from its pressure chamber and a relief valve for controlling the air pressure in the pressure chamber so as to be equal to an adjustable set pressure which is constant. When air pressure is supplied to one of the pressure chambers of the pneumatic actuator, the air pressure air discharged from the other pressure chamber is blocked by the nonreturn valve, so that it is discharged to the outside through a relief valve. In this case, however, the air pressure of the pressure chamber on the exhaust side is maintained at a set pressure for the relief valve which is set beforehand, and hence, the flow rate of air discharged from the pressure chamber becomes constant, and the pneumatic actuator is driven at a constant speed.
