Air Preparation

SMC'S new AC-B series of modular type F.R.L. unit is available in six basic sizes and is interchangeable with the existing modular AC line.  The AC-B series has a maximum set pressure of 125 psi and offers embedded gauge and pressure switch options not found in the AC-A.  The element and bowl on the AF series is now one-piece, making element replacement easier.  Required maintenance space has been reduced by as much as 46% on the AF series, depending on the body size.  Bowls on size 30 and up are now covered with a transparent bowl guard, completely protecting them from the environment, and making the interior contents visible from 360 degrees.  The base color of the new AC-B is urban white, maintaining a clean, modern look.

The new AC-A series offers a combination of modular style air preparation equipment, including an energy saving regulator (50% improvement over the regulator in the existing AC line).  The filter and lubricator bowls are a double layer design, with the bowl being covered with a transparent bowl guard, making the inside visible from 360. The new spacer, used for modular connection, may be tentatively tightened by fingers, and it is interchangeable with the existing product line of AF-A, AR-A, AL-A and AW-A series.  

Membrane air dryer series IDG is available in a single unit or combination unit style. IDG/M models combine a mist separator and micro mist separator with a single unit. IDG/V models combine a regulator with the IDG/M model. Options available include one-touch fitting exhaust of purge air. If purged air is not exhausted around membrane air dryer, air is exhausted with tubing away from its dryer.

SMC's IDK series is a moisture control tube.  Condensation in a pneumatic system will cause operating failure and affect the life of pneumatic equipment.  The IDK prevents condensation in small cylinders, air grippers, and air operated valves by diffusing water vapor in the piping to the outside before it is condensed.
