Overview
The SMC AR50-N06-Z pneumatic regulator is a modular-design pressure control unit from SMC’s AR series. It provides dependable air pressure regulation for industrial and pneumatic automation applications. This relieving-type regulator features a straightforward design without integrated gauge or backflow mechanisms, making it an economical choice for systems requiring basic pressure management across a wide operating range.
Key Features
- Modular design: Connects seamlessly with other SMC air preparation equipment (filters, lubricators) for complete FRL assemblies
- Locking adjustment knob: Prevents accidental pressure setting changes during operation
- Ozone-resistant knob: HNBR rubber material for durability in demanding industrial environments
- Relieving exhaust: Safely exhausts excess pressure to atmosphere at set point
- NPT thread connection: Standard 3/4″ NPT ports for easy integration into North American pneumatic systems
