Overview
The Fairchild 10112 Model 10 is a precision pressure regulator engineered for pneumatic applications requiring stable, accurate control across varying flow conditions. This regulator uses a balanced supply valve and aspirator tube design to maintain consistent pressure regardless of supply pressure fluctuations or changing system demands. Fairchild 10112 Model 10 regulators are trusted in process control, robotics, machine tools, and OEM manufacturing across oil & gas, pharmaceutical, food processing, and industrial automation sectors.
Key Features
- Precision control sensitivity of 1/8″ water column for stable set point accuracy
