Re: Limiting the amount of air sent to a solenoid

You cannot control the amount of flow to the solenoid as it just opens and closes.

One thing you can do to decrease the speed of the cylinder is to decrease the pressure either using the in-line pressure regulator, or using the regulator on the hose adapters that go on the pneumatic cylinders.
