Re: Flow Valves
Both would do the same thing.
am-2897 lets you put the flow control directly onto the cylinder. Great if you want to fine tune the flow per side. You'd want one per cylinder if you only want to control the flow rate to one direction of motion.
am-2690 is an inline flow control valve that you can put anywhere you have tubing run. This is nice because you can put it on the output of your solenoid and then put a Y after this, effectively controlling the flow control to both cylinders with one part.
I'd recommend am-2690 for most applications as the 1/8" npt to tubing version can take up quite a bit of space around the cylinder where the inline version allows you to put the flow control wherever you please.
