Overview
The SMC AW30-N03DE-Z-B filter regulator integrates air filtration and pressure regulation into one space-saving modular unit. SMC’s AW-B series is a combination filter/regulator that minimizes space and piping by integrating two units into one. The AW-B series has a maximum set pressure of 125 psi and offers embedded gauge and pressure switch options not found in the AW-A while maintaining panel mounting interchangeability with previous AW models. This configuration reduces complexity and streamlines air preparation in pneumatic systems across manufacturing, automation, and industrial applications.
Key Features
- 5µm filtration with body size 30, polycarbonate condensate bowl, normally open (N.O.) auto drain, left-to-right flow, and imperial unit plate
- Modular type filter regulator with integrated filter and regulator that saves space and requires less piping
- Relieving type with 7.25–123 psi set pressure range and square embedded gauge with 53 scfm flow rating
- Transparent bowl guard completely protecting the bowl from the environment and making the interior contents visible from 360 degrees (size 30 and up)
- Relieving regulator that can be quickly locked by pushing down on the adjustment knob
- Square type inserted pressure gauge with limit indicator
