Disclosed is an actuator control circuit which adopts a meter-in control system to control the displacement speed of a piston of a pneumatic cylinder and which is provided with a first pressure control valve to be in a free flow state when compressed air is supplied to the pneumatic cylinder and a second pressure control valve for retaining discharge pressure of compressed air discharged from the pneumatic cylinder to be a previously set predetermined pressure.

Actuator control circuit

Disclosed is a pressure/flow rate control valve comprising a valve-opening/closing section having a valve plug which is installed with an elastic member having a substantially tapered cross section at one end, a stem which is displaceable integrally with the valve plug and which is installed with a packing disposed between a pair of disk sections separated from each other by a predetermined spacing distance, and a spring member which is fastened to one end of the stem, for seating the valve plug on an annular projection in accordance with the action of resilient force.

Pressure/flow rate control valve

Disclosed is a pressure/flow rate control valve comprising a pressure-adjusting section having a valve plug for reducing the pressure of a pressure fluid flowing through a clearance between a hole and itself, a stem which is displaceable integrally with the valve plug and which is installed with a packing, and a spring member which is fastened to one end of the stem, for pressing the valve plug toward an annular projection formed on an inner wall surface of a first valve body.

A lift amount of a valve plug is controlled with respect to a period of time from valve-closing operation instruction time for an electric opening/closing valve to arrival at a preset quick valve-closing operation position at which a flow line of a fluid discharged from a discharge port of a nozzle is in a constricted state, in accordance with a driving action of an electric actuator. The valve plug of the electric opening/closing valve is controlled to be at a closed position after the arrival at the quick valve-closing operation position. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the incontinent liquid drip from the nozzle during the valve-closing operation of the electric opening/closing valve.
