Steel and Smelting

The AFF70~90 improves upon the performance of the legacy AFF with a 1 μm particulate rating and water removal capabilities.  Installation space is reduced by integrating the traditional AFF filtering function with the water removal capabilities of the AMG.  Additionally, flow capacities are improved for greater applicability.  A lightweight stainless steel bowl assembly improves handling and simplifies service.

The AMG series water separator is installed on the air pressure line to remove water drops from compressed air. It is available in 7 sizes with a variety of optional combinations to meet your application requirements.

Heavy duty auto drain series ADH4000 can be maintained without changing existing piping. There is no need for electric power and no waste of air. Float style drain allows automatic drain discharge without electric power.

The legacy series AMD micro mist separators range from 1/8" to 2" and feature a rugged aluminum housing.  These coalescing filters are nominally rated at 0.01 micron for a second stage of oil removal after a particulate filter and a coarser coalescing unit.

Air Regulator Series AR-B have been updated to the new urban white base color for a clean modern look. The AR-B series has a maximum set pressure of 125 psi and offers embedded gauge and pressure switch options not found in the AR-A while maintaining panel mounting interchangeability with the previous AR models. The locking adjustment knob prevents accidental setting changes. Options include a mounting bracket and set nuts for panel mounting. The modular design of the AR-B series connects with other SMC air preparation equipment of similar size. The new AR-B is available in six body sizes with piping from 1/8" to 1" in Rc, NPT and G thread.

The VHS series provides a convenient means of isolating supplied pressure in a pneumatic system and exhausting downstream pressure for maintenance purposes.  The units can be locked in the exhaust position and can be an integral part of an energy isolation system.  Air flow direction is easily identified by handle orientation and labelling.  

Pneumatic sensors with buttons and a display to set and read values from an operator's position.

Series VFS consists of 5 port pilot solenoid valves with metal seals and base mounted or body ported type manifolds. Base mounted manifolds are available in plug-in and non plug-in styles. Body ported manifolds are available with bar or separate type manifold bases. Port sizes range from 1/8 to 3/4 with Rc(PT), NPTF & G(PF) thread types available. Various options also available.

SMC has improved product performance and reliability with the redesigned SY series valve.  The SY3000 and SY5000 have the same valve width as their predecessors, but the flow has been increased by up to 80%, allowing the valve size to be reduced. A built-in strainer in the pilot valve prevents trouble caused by foreign matter. By using H-NBR seal material for the main valve and seals, Ozone resistance has been improved.   Side, top and bottom port/pipe directions are available to allow flexible installation.  The SY is available in body ported or base mounted styles, and can be used individually or manifold mounted.

 

CP96, profile tube design ISO cylinder with enclosed tie rods, is available in 6 bore sizes from ø32 to ø125mm.  High accuracy covers and tie rod nuts improve mounting accuracy and extend the cylinder life.  Increasing the precision of the bushing and piston rod, as well as reducing tolerances, has decreased the deflection of the piston rod.  Standard strokes range from 25 to 800mm.

The MHL2-Z is designed for applications that require a wide range of travel for gripping many different sized work pieces; the updated MHL2 Series finger motion is synchronized by a rack-and-pinion mechanism.  The double construction creates a compact gripper with a large holding force.

The series LMU spray unit is used to deliver atomized lubrication to up to six individual points. Air pressure, air flow lubricant quantity independently adjustable. The unit is electrically switched to spray lubricant or, as required to blow air only. The LMU can be used to spray oil, kerosene, cutting fluid and a wide range of other fluids. It has applications in machine tools, roll forming machines, die casting for the spraying of mold release and other manufacturing processes where lubricant or coolant spray is required.

Series ITV electro-pneumatic and electronic vacuum regulators control air/vacuum pressure steplessly in proportion to an electric signal. They are light weight in design with a bright and easy to read LED display. The monitor output is available either as analog output or switch output. The ITV series is IP65 equivalent.

Series MGP is designed for high side load applications found in material handling, lifting and stopping. The cylinder utilizes an ultra-compact design by incorporating the cylinder body as part of the guide body. As the stroke length increases, so does the bearing length, thus enhancing the cylinder's load bearing capacity. Order made options for this series include adjustable air cushions, heavy duty guide rods, copper free, high temperature, and low speed.

Series NCA1 medium duty tie rod cylinders are NFPA interchangeable, have a crimped piston rod assembly, are pre-lubricated and available in 11 mounting styles. Bore sizes range from 1.5 to 4 inches. The NCA1 expanded line of medium duty cylinders offer bore sizes ranging from 5 to 8 inches, and come standard with adjustable air cushion.

KQ2 one-touch, metric and inch size fittings are available in a wide variety of sizes, body styles and thread types. The use of a special profile seal allows the KQ2 to be used for a wide range of pressures from a low vacuum up to a pressure of 1MPa.  The KQ2 release collar releases both the chuck and collet to provide a low disconnection force for easy removal of the tubing.

Tubing comes in a variety of material types to accommodate for various media through the connectors. Some material types include: polyurethane, fluororesin, polyolefin, spark resistant, water resistant and polyethylene. Varying materials prevent corrosion, damage from high temperatures and hydrolysis.

Tubing is available in sizes of 1/8”, 5/32”, 3/16”, ¼”, 5/16”, 3/8” and ½”. Metric tubing sizes of 3.2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 16 mm are also available.

VQ valves are ideal for applications requiring high speed, frequent operation, stable response time and long service life. Innovative mounting methods allow valves to be changed without entirely disassembling the manifold. Built-in one-touch fittings save piping time and labor.

The element-less specification eliminates the need for replacement. Air containing water droplets is rotated to remove them by centrifugal force.

Series IDFB*E refrigerted air dryers are suitable for use in aftercooled systems with compressors up to ~100 hp (depending on dew point desired).  These durable units have simple control systems and are easily serviced.

Dust collector reverse pulse jet valves are the filter cleaning components for baghouses (dust collection systems) for preventing dust explosions by removing particulates from the air.  The JSXFA dust collector valve is engineered with a robust elastomer diaphragm that requires no spring to shift, enhancing its service life to 10 million plus cycles while producing faster response times and energy savings.

The JSXFA diaphragm valve will open and close rapidly to create a short, intense blast of air with sonic shock wave to dislodge accumulated dust from bag filters and cartridge filters without disrupting regular operations.

The JSXFA can be actuated by either solenoid or air operated pilot valves, available with enclosures.
