Overview
The SMC AFF22C-N06BC-T is a main line air filter designed for industrial pneumatic systems requiring effective particulate removal and moisture control. This AFF Series filter removes impurities such as oil, water, and foreign matter from compressed air, protecting downstream equipment and extending filter element life.
Key Features
- 3 µm particulate filtration with 99% efficiency rating
- Automatic drain with normally closed (N.C.) valve—no pressure required to close
- Metal bowl construction for durability and visibility
- Element life indicator for service scheduling
- Modular connection design compatible with AFF2C through AFF22C series
- Bracket accessory included for secure mounting

Typical Applications
The AFF22C-N06BC-T is widely used as the first stage in compressed air treatment systems across manufacturing, packaging, automotive, and process automation environments. It effectively protects precision pneumatic tools, actuators, and downstream components by removing particulates and controlling moisture before air reaches sensitive equipment.
Compatibility & Replacements
Compatible With
- Compressed air systems 0.05–1 MPa operating pressure
- Industrial pneumatic controllers and automation systems
- Modular AFF2C through AFF22C filter series (stackable)
- Standard NPT-threaded pneumatic networks
Replaces / Drop-In Replacement For
Verify exact cross-reference compatibility with your system integrator. The AFF22C-N06BC-T uses standard element cartridges common to the AFF22C platform; earlier or non-standard AFF variants may require adapter validation.
Works With
- PT, NPT, and G thread port options (this unit: 3/4 NPT)
- Automatic and manual drain systems
- Industrial air supply networks and compressor discharge stations
