2CFR60 Series 2-Port Pressure Compensated Priority Flow Control, GPM Screw

For controlling actuator speed, it fits that job since it is a pressure compensated, two port flow regulator. The adjustable orifice sets the flow into or out of the actuator for meter in or meter out control, and the pressure compensation helps keep the regulated flow more consistent as pressure changes.

This flow control valve can certainly regulate actuator speed, which would apply to a wood splitter ram. Just make sure the flow rate and pressure of your system are within the valve's 16 GPM and 5000 PSI limits.

With a fixed pressure compensated flow regulator, it holds a more consistent set flow as pressure changes, so you can use it to control actuator speed (meter in or meter out) with less speed swing from load changes. Flow goes in the inlet, through an adjustable orifice, and out the regulated port, and the built in check valve gives you free return flow from port 2 to port 1.

Rated flow tops out at 16 GPM, and the adjustable range runs from 1.6 GPM up to that maximum. The pressure compensation keeps flow steady even when system pressure fluctuates, so what you dial in is pretty much what you get at the actuator regardless of load changes. That makes it well suited for mobile equipment like harvesters or refuse haulers where demand shifts constantly.
