Hydraulic Speed Regulators: A Comprehensive Guide to Kinechek Speed Regulators

Kinechek Speed Regulators

Kinechek Speed Regulators are precision-engineered hydraulic devices designed to regulate the speed or feed rate of moving equipment. Manufactured with high-quality hardened tool steel, Kinecheks feature a single adjustable orifice that meters fluid flow, ensuring smooth and controlled motion. Unlike conventional hydraulic regulators, Kinecheks operate without sliding seals or heavy springs, eliminating binding and jerking.

These speed regulators come in various stroke lengths ranging from ½ inch to 6 inches and can handle forces from as low as 2½ kg up to 545 kg. Kinecheks utilize a patented frictionless rolling diaphragm seal, making them completely leakproof in any position. The sealed-in silicone fluid remains contaminant-free, ensuring consistent performance without silt buildup. With an extensive 300° adjustment range, Kinecheks provide precise speed control for applications such as pneumatic drills, lathe operations, and mill tables.

Specialty Kinecheks

In addition to the standard Kinechek models, Deschner offers specialized variants tailored to specific industrial applications. These Specialty Kinecheks include:

Cushion-Start Kinechek

The Cushion-Start Kinechek combines the functionality of a shock absorber and a hydraulic speed regulator. Designed to handle fast-moving loads that exceed standard capacity, this model cushions approximately 25% of the initial stroke before transitioning into precise speed regulation. Once the stroke completes, the plunger rod instantly resets, ready for the next impact. This design enhances durability and maintains smooth operation under high-impact conditions.

Peckchek Kinechek

Peckchek Kinecheks are designed for deep-hole drilling operations requiring peck drilling. Unlike standard models, these speed regulators restrict automatic plunger extension during drill retraction, allowing efficient chip clearance. The plunger extends slightly (approx. 0.005 inches) before re-entry, preventing drill bit breakage. PeckChek controls are available separately and must be used with special Kinecheks featuring hardened plunger rods.

Slow Return Kinechek

The Slow Return Kinechek operates like a standard Kinechek but features a fixed restricting orifice that slows the automatic return of the plunger rod. Return times range from 6 to 22 seconds per inch of stroke, depending on the model and adjustment settings. This design was initially developed to optimize lathe operations where rapid plunger extension interfered with machining sequences. The controlled retraction ensures seamless workflow integration.

Skipchek Kinechek

Skipchek Kinecheks incorporate a custom-engineered bypass flow passage that enables rapid plunger movement over a designated "skip" interval. This feature significantly reduces machining times for tube drilling, clevis parts, and similar applications. Available in Slimline and Super-K models, Skipcheks maintain Deschner's hallmark reliability by eliminating additional moving parts and seals.

Dual Speed Mini-K Kinechek

The Dual Speed Mini-K Kinechek is specifically designed for drilling carbon fiber and composite materials, particularly in handheld drill applications. It features a two-stage speed control system:

• Fast Feed (Speed 1): The initial stroke moves freely under manual force, allowing quick drilling.
• Control Feed (Speed 2): The final ¼ inch slows down to prevent material splintering and delamination.

This innovative system enhances efficiency while maintaining precision. The Dual Speed Mini-K is available in four speeds (Extra Fast, Fast, Standard, and Slow) with stroke lengths up to 1½ inches and a maximum load capacity of 180 kg.

Kinechek Speed Regulators provide unparalleled precision, reliability, and durability for various industrial applications. With specialty variants like Cushion-Start, Peckchek, Slow Return, Skipchek, and Dual Speed Mini-K, Deschner ensures that manufacturers have the ideal velocity control solutions for their specific needs. Whether for machining, drilling, or material processing, Kinechek Speed Regulators set the industry standard for performance and longevity.
