Overview
The SMC AW30-N03C-Z is a modular type pneumatic filter regulator from SMC’s AW series, designed to combine air filtration and pressure regulation in industrial pneumatic systems. This size 30 unit features integrated filter and regulator functions, eliminating the need for separate components and reducing space requirements in compressed air preparation. The AW30-N03C-Z operates at a maximum proof pressure of 1.5 MPa and is suitable for general industrial pneumatic applications requiring reliable air conditioning.
Key Features
- Modular design integrates filter and regulator in one compact body
- 3/8″ NPT port connections for standard industrial piping
- Body size 30 rated for up to 1.5 MPa proof pressure
- Relieving-type exhaust mechanism for safe depressurization
- 5 micron filtration element removes particulate from compressed air
- Transparent bowl with guard for easy visual inspection of condensate
- NPT thread type for North American pneumatic installations
