Overview
The SMC AR50-N06-Z is a modular pneumatic regulator from SMC’s AR MASS PRO series, engineered for cost-effective and precise pressure control in compressed air systems. Body size 50 with 3/4 inch NPT thread ports, this unit delivers stable regulation without backflow and features relieving exhaust for improved safety and performance. The regulator handles flow up to 353 scfm and is built for left-to-right flow with downward knob adjustment.
Key Features
- Locking adjustment knob prevents accidental pressure drift during operation
- Modular design integrates seamlessly with other SMC air preparation equipment (filters, lubricators, dryers)
- Relieving exhaust automatically vents excess pressure for improved relief sensitivity
- Ozone-resistant rubber knob (HNBR material) ensures durability in industrial environments
- No gauge or mounting bracket included; compatible with optional panel-mount accessories
