What type of valve is often used to control the speed of an actuator?

A) pilot operated relief
B) flow control
C) pressure control
D) counter balance

Actuator

A device that produces mechanical motion in response to an electrical, air, or hydraulic signal.

Pilot Operated

A system or valve controlled indirectly through the use of a smaller, pilot valve rather than directly by mechanical means.

Flow Control

The regulation and management of the rate or volume of flow in a system, such as fluids in pipelines or data over networks, to meet certain conditions or requirements.
