The One-way flow control valve series GRxA and GRxZ by Festo is specially designed for precise regulation of piston speeds in pneumatic drives during both advancing and retracting movements. This product uniquely combines the features of a one-way flow control valve and a piloted check valve, enabling flow control on one end while providing a non-return function on the opposite end. Available in polymer, metal, or stainless steel construction, these valves come in standard, mini, and in-line formats, accommodating a wide range of flow rates suitable for diverse industrial automation needs. Connection options include dual-thread ends, dual push-in connectors, or a hybrid of thread and push-in connections, offering flexibility for integration into existing pneumatic systems. The GRxA and GRxZ series are part of Festo's Core Range, ensuring rapid worldwide availability alongside the renowned high quality and reliability of Festo products. The valve’s superior throttle function is effective in exhaust or supply air directions depending on the variant, with the non-return function stabilizing flow in the reverse direction, thereby protecting the pneumatic system. The corrosion-resistant CRGRLA model with rotary switch and hex key allows for gradual selection and finely tuned flow rate adjustment, ensuring optimal piston speed control under different operating conditions. These valves are essential components for precise airflow management, enhancing the efficiency and control in pneumatic automation processes.

Yes, depending on the series, the valve’s throttle function works either in the supply air direction or the exhaust air direction, while the non-return function operates in the opposite direction.
Yes, the CRGRLA variant is corrosion-resistant, making it suitable for use in harsh or corrosive industrial environments.
The valve offers flexible connection options including threaded ends on both sides, push-in connectors on both ends, or a combination of thread and push-in connections.
Precise adjustment is enabled by a rotary switch for coarse preselection of flow rate range and a hex key for infinitely variable fine-tuning with a scale, especially in the CRGRLA model.
The valves support low flow (LF) for precise control of slow piston speeds and medium flow (MF) for moderate piston speed control, suitable for varied pneumatic automation tasks.
