AR635-10G SMC Low Pressure Pneumatic Regulator with Gauge Rc1" 0.02-0.2 MPa Pilot Type

Product Description:

The SMC AR425 to AR935 series represents a range of internally pilot-operated, relieving-type air pressure regulators. These devices are specifically designed for heavy-duty industrial compressed-air systems that demand a stable outlet pressure combined with a high flow capacity. Unlike traditional direct-acting regulators, these models feature a pilot structure that utilizes the supply air itself to control the main valve. This innovative design ensures superior pressure regulation accuracy, smoother flow characteristics, and minimal fluctuations in outlet pressure, even when inlet pressure varies.

This product line includes 12 commonly used part numbers, grouped into four sub-series: AR625, AR635, AR825, and AR835. The port sizes available range from Rc 3/4" to Rc 1-1/2", accommodating a variety of installation requirements. Customers can choose between two pressure ranges: 0.05–0.83 MPa, known as the 25 type, and a lower pressure option of 0.02–0.2 MPa, referred to as the 35 low-pressure type. Additionally, units labeled with a "G" come equipped with a panel pressure gauge, while an optional mounting bracket, B25P, is also available.

These air pressure regulators are widely employed across numerous applications, including compressor stations, central compressed-air lines, automated production lines, pneumatic manipulators, and OEM machine packages. Their robust design and reliable performance make them ideal components in various industrial compressed-air systems.

Features:

The regulator features a pilot-operated design, which ensures a much more stable outlet pressure compared to direct-acting regulators. This design also makes it less sensitive to fluctuations in inlet pressure, providing consistent performance.

Equipped with an internal relieving mechanism, the regulator automatically vents any excess outlet pressure to the atmosphere. This function helps maintain a constant pressure in the downstream line, enhancing system reliability.

Constructed from die-cast aluminum, the body of the regulator includes a protected bonnet and chamber. This combination results in a lightweight unit that offers excellent heat dissipation, making it suitable for demanding factory floor environments.

The regulator offers two adjustable pressure ranges to accommodate various applications: 0.05 to 0.83 MPa for general use and 0.02 to 0.2 MPa for a low-pressure precision type, identified as type 35.

Multiple port sizes are available, including 3/4", 1", 1-1/4", and 1-1/2". Thread options include Rc (PTF), NPT (F), and G threads, all of which can be provided upon request to meet different installation requirements.

For enhanced functionality, an optional pressure gauge (designated with a G suffix, part of the G46 series) and a mounting bracket (model B25P) are available. These accessories offer clear local pressure readings and make retrofitting straightforward.

Additionally, the adjusting handle is equipped with a locking screw. This feature prevents accidental adjustments and minimizes pressure drift after the desired setting has been established, ensuring stable and reliable operation.
