ROSS Controls 1968A1008 Directional Control Valve

ROSS Controls 1968A1008 is a compact right-angle flow control valve from the 19 Series, engineered to throttle pneumatic flow in tight spaces with precise, adjustable control. It features 1/8" NPT threaded ports (inlet and outlet) and a right-angle body, with slot-adjustment for setting the throttling rate. In the fully open position, the valve provides a flow coefficient (Cv) of 0.3, making it suitable for regulating small-diameter actuators and compact pneumatic circuits. Weighing about 0.06 lb (0.03 kg), the 1968A1008 is designed for inline installation and can screw directly into a cylinder port to control actuator speed and damping. The 19 Series catalog places 1968A1008 alongside other port-size variants such as 1968A2008 (1/4" ports) and 1968A3008 (3/8" ports), offering a family of right-angle flow control solutions with consistent form and mounting. Common applications include speed control of compact pneumatic cylinders, damping in automated handling systems, and any installation where space is at a premium and reliable flow throttling is required.
