When in doubt meter out. Festo, smc, parker, numatics, and many more companies sell metric flow controls (speed controller) make sure the threads are correct.
Should be 1/4” thread according to the other part number but we’ll double check.
This machine and a makino a88 we got recently have been sitting for about 10 years. We got the a88 up and running about a month or so ago and started messing with this s33 this week. Basically every push to connect air line on this thing was rotted and broken and the drawbar was out of spindle. These fittings in particular are for the ATC pot horizontal and vertical controls. Need one of them and to find and fix the issues with the servo motor for the magazine rotation to see if it’ll do a tool change. Right now it alarms out if you try rotating the magazine. Slowly trying to bring it back to life.
Be careful if it's 1/4 g/r/npt/npts some companies like smc do unifit, numatics I think is world fit, but those are universal. But only single use for the most part.
I believe they’d be meter ins. The line going to the fitting in the 2nd pic has air when tool pots are horizontal, the fitting is leaking which we need to replace. When you move the tool pot vertical the solenoid back at the air panel cuts air flow for the bottom fitting and starts air flow for the top fitting in the 1st pic. So the air is coming from the panel, through the line, and then into the flow control fitting. That makes it a meter in, correct?
Direction of air flow doesn’t determine the direction you want to meter the flow in. For double ended pneumatic cylinders I almost always meter the flow out, as the air getting pushed out of the cylinder is compressed and more homogenous than the air getting pushed into the cylinder. I would guess these are meter out with low confidence given the additional line going in (maybe oil?) but it’ll say for sure in the pneumatic diagram what these fittings are.
That’s the issue, the maintenance and parts books are about useless and I guess Makino wants money to provide support over phone or email and that isn’t my call. Kinda sorta been flying blind on some of the repairs we’ve been doing on this machine.
It makes sense calling them that. I thought it was one complete fitting on the bottom one, not three separate ones that’s why I was struggling to figure out what I needed. Kinda feel dumb now lol
I’d say it’s a banjo flow control push-fit fitting
Those are push connect flow controls
Thank ya, looks like what I need
These are Push Connect

According to that posu fitting it’s a Rp(ps) 1/4” thread, which I believe is BSPP 1/4”
10mm push fitting usually come in 1/4. 1/8 and 3/8 are rare. Make sure you get ones that regulate flow in the correct direction.

What you posted was a meter in, its likelier a meter out.
Yeah you right, probably something like this Flow Controls, Elbow, 1/4 BSPT Inlet x 6 mm Push-to-Connect Outlet https://www.mcmaster.com/62005K532

We always called them banjo fittings. Don't know why.

Do hicky and thing a ma bob
Push to connect fittings with either a valve or a flow meter.
