Hydraulic Feed Controls FA, MA, MVC: Versatile Solutions for Standard Applications

Not all applications require high-precision motion control—sometimes what matters most is reliability, durability, and simplicity. That’s exactly what the FA, MA, and MVC hydraulic feed controls from ACE offer. These models are designed for industrial use cases where low to medium precision is sufficient, such as in handling modules, linear slides, and automated conveyor systems.

Efficient Motion Without the Complexity

Though less intricate than their VC counterparts, FA, MA, and MVC models still offer adjustable feed control and smooth operation. With compression forces ranging from 8 N to 3,500 N and strokes between 7 mm and 40 mm, these units suit a wide range of standard motion control needs.

Feed speed can start from 12 mm/min, even at low thrust forces, thanks to the adjustment screw located at the base. The intuitive setting ring allows for quick tweaks to reduce hard impacts at either end of the stroke—making fine-tuning simple, even in dynamic environments.

Built for Durability and Ease

These hydraulic feed controls are maintenance-free, temperature-stable, and easy to mount in any position. Their nitride-hardened steel body and black oxide or nitride-treated piston rod offer strong resistance to wear and harsh conditions. An integrated positive stop provides end-of-stroke security without requiring external components.

And just like higher-precision models, the FA, MA, and MVC help eliminate the stick-slip effect often seen in pneumatic actuators, ensuring smoother motion even in basic setups.

Dependability Across Changing Conditions

FA, MA, and MVC models are especially well-suited for applications with varying usage patterns. Whether the system runs continuously or in short bursts, these feed controls provide consistent, smooth operation without requiring constant readjustment or maintenance.

For teams looking for a simple, reliable, and adjustable hydraulic feed control, the FA, MA, and MVC series strike the perfect balance between performance and practicality.
