Regulators

AR


Cost effective and clean looking, series AR regulators offer various pressure range settings to accommodate most applications. The locking adjustment knob prevents accidental setting changes. The modular design of the AR series connects with other SMC air preparation equipment.

ARG


One of the most frequent requests from machine builders and manufacturers with production facilities is for the development of smaller, easier to use, components which require less installation and general maintenance time. Research engineers from SMC, the world's leading automation experts, have clearly recognised this requirement with the launch of their comprehensive range of new regulators and filter regulators with built in pressure gauges  Series ACG/ARG/AWG. Developed initially to achieve space savings and reduced labour costs when panel mounting regulator and filter regulator units. This latest range of compressed air supply components feature integral, non rotating, pressure gauges inside a unique adjustable handle thereby eliminating the need to install separate pressure controls. Offering excellent visibility, Series ACG/ARG/AWG can be clearly seen and adjusted even when mounted in those difficult areas such as close to the floor, or even when side mounted high up a wall. Performance can be set using simple limit indicators, which can be easily adjusted by removing the one-touch see through gauge cover. Additionally, the mounting angle of the gauge can also be selected from four directions 0º, 90º, 180º and 270º in relation to the piping direction. Designed for use with air, up to a maximum operating pressure of 1.0MPa, with ambient fluid temperature range of between -5ºC to 60ºC these innovative regulators have been designed to fully integrate with SMC´s existing range of FRL units.

ARJ


Miniature regulator series ARJ is part of SMC's pressure control equipment line. The ARJ series is available with or without one-touch fittings depending on the model type. All models come standard as direct operated relieving style. Two mounting thread options are available on the ARJ210 & ARJ310 series. ARJ1020F comes standard with M5 threads. Options include bracket, pressure gauge, and manifold base (depending on model).

ARM5


When you’ve already got one of the best ranges of compact regulators in the market place there’s really only one way to go – even smaller! And that’s exactly what the development engineers from automation control experts, SMC, have done with their new 14 mm wide compact manifold regulator -Series ARM5. Designed initially for the automotive and electronics industries, Series ARM5 can be directly or DIN rail mounted, and uses many of the same key features as the larger models in the ARM range, such as a backflow function as standard, a single unit type and an optional built-in pressure gauge. However this new, extremely compact series now includes a low 0.35 MPa pressure set option and the removable one-touch fittings can be changed to accommodate tube sizes of 4, 6 or 8 mm. With further options including centralised and individual supply types, this new compact ARM5 offers similar space, maintenance and time saving benefits as the existing ARM range.

ARP


Precise pressure control and pressure adjustment can be critical factors when working with either pressure fed fluids, air pilot regulator supply or during test and inspection applications. R&D engineers from SMC, the world leaders in pneumatic technology, have long recognised this fact and have now developed a new, improved, range of direct operated precision regulators, Series ARP 20/30/40. Developed using SMC´s extensive knowledge of direct operated regulators, Series ARP now offers several advantages over previous SMC models including a decrease in air consumption by up to 80% compared to previous models  less than 1 /min (ANR) at 0,4 MPa - more precise pressure adjustment  repeatability is within ±1% and sensitivity is now within 0,2% of Full Scale. Further benefits of this new modular regulator range include digital pressure gauges fitted as standard and reverse flow functionality.

ARX20


Series ARX20, piston type regulator, is compatible with a primary supply pressure of 2.0MPa and is ideal for pressure adjustment of air blowing applications. The ARX has a compact design with a width of 35mm and an overall length of 80mm. The piston operated design ensures long operating life. The ARX has an easy-to-operate adjustment handle.

IRV


The IRV series vacuum regulator was developed to upgrade the design of the T203 model in a more compact size and to expand the range of vacuum regulators. Thread sizes available include Rc(PT), NPT and G(PF).

VCHR


Process Industry and PET machine builder’s requests for both 2 and 3 port, pilot operated, solenoid valves, with high pressure performance are now answered with the launch of SMC’s latest Series VCH range. Designed for use with air or inert gas, these new valves can operate up to a maximum pressure of 5.0 MPa thereby substantially exceeding SMC’s existing VXH high pressure series. With large flow passages, and ISO1179-1 conforming port thread sizes of G1/2 to G1, high flow rates are ensured and due to a reduction in the overall volume of the pilot chamber their responsiveness can now only be measured in milliseconds. Additionally, the VCH range offers enclosure protection equivalent to IP65 and a DIN type electrical connector as standard and due to its unique collision-less armature construction, with rubber buffers and urethane diaphragm, early indications have confirmed that the valves operation life time will exceed 10 million cycles. Currently the VCH Series is available in four different valve configurations; 2 port valve normally closed - VCH41, 2 port valve normally open - VCH 42, our 3 port option - VCH410, plus a check valve – VCHC40.
