What Is a Speed Adjustment Tank?
A speed adjustment tank adds volume on the exhaust or supply side of a cylinder so the motion becomes smoother and easier to control. It is used mainly to reduce jerky stick-slip motion at low speeds and to make speed settings more precise.
Speed is still set with a flow-control valve; the tank makes that setting more stable.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is a speed adjustment tank needed?
When smooth low-speed motion is required and speed settings are unstable.
Does the tank set the speed by itself?
No — it works together with a flow-control valve.
Which cylinders use it?
Any pneumatic cylinder that needs slow, precise motion.
