Overview
The SMC AW30-N03C-Z-B is a modular-type filter regulator designed for compressed air pressure management in industrial automation, pneumatic control systems, and manufacturing environments. This unit combines filtration and regulation functions in a single compact module, reducing space requirements and simplifying air preparation circuits.
Key Features
- Modular design: integrates with other AW-series components for scalable air prep systems
- Maximum operating pressure: 125 PSI (adjustable down to 7 PSI minimum)
- Relieving-type exhaust mechanism for smooth pressure management
- 3/8″ NPT threaded ports (male/female configuration)
- Integrated bowl with transparent steel band guard for 360° visibility and environmental protection
- Imperial unit nameplate and pressure indication for North American applications
Technical Specifications
- Pressure Range: 7–125 PSI (0.5–8.5 bar)
- Port Size: 3/8″ NPT
- Body Size: 30
- Thread Type: NPT (National Pipe Thread)
- Flow Direction: Left-to-right
- Exhaust Type: Relieving
- Bowl Material: Polycarbonate with drain cock
- Bowl Guard: Steel band protective guard included
- Body Construction: Aluminum die-cast
- Connection Type: Threaded ports (no backflow valve in Z configuration)
Typical Applications
- Industrial pneumatic control circuits and machinery actuation
- Compressed air preparation for automated production lines
- Pressure regulation in sensor and solenoid valve networks
- Plant air distribution systems and compressed air manifolds
- OEM machine and equipment air conditioning
- Modular F.R.L. (Filter-Regulator-Lubricator) system integration
