Overview
The SMC AR50-N06-Z air pressure regulator is a modular pneumatic regulator built for reliable, consistent pressure control in industrial automation and process applications. Manufactured by SMC, a leading Japanese pneumatic component supplier, the AR50 size regulator features a 3/4″ NPT port connection and direct-acting diaphragm design. This unit maintains stable outlet pressure across varying load conditions, making it ideal for machine tools, production equipment, and compressed air distribution systems.
Key Features
- Modular Design: Connects with other SMC air preparation equipment for integrated pneumatic circuits.
- Relieving Type: Relief pressure is set pressure + 0.05 MPa, ensuring overpressure protection.
- Locking Adjustment Knob: Prevents accidental setting changes during operation.
- Cost-Effective: Simple, compact design suitable for high-volume industrial applications.
- No Internal Gauge: Standard configuration without pressure display; gauge options available separately.
