AW Series: The Space-Saving Solution for Integrated Air Preparation
The AW series is an industry-leading Filter Regulator that combines the functions of an air filter and a pressure regulator into a single, compact unit. By integrating these two essential components, the AW series (including the latest AW-A and AW-B models) reduces installation space, simplifies piping, and provides superior protection and control for downstream pneumatic equipment.
Key Technical Features & Engineering Highlights
Integrated 2-in-1 Design: The AW series performs high-efficiency filtration and precision pressure regulation simultaneously. This modular integration reduces the overall footprint of your air preparation assembly by up to 50% compared to separate units.
Modular Connectivity: As part of the SMC modular F.R.L. line, the AW series can be seamlessly connected to lubricators, pressure switches, and soft-start valves using standardized spacers and brackets.
Enhanced Visibility Bowl Guard: The latest AW-A models feature a double-layer transparent bowl guard. This provides 360-degree visibility of the condensate level from any angle while protecting the bowl from environmental impact.
High-Efficiency 5-Micron Filtration: Equipped with a high-quality 5μm filter element as standard, it effectively removes moisture, dust, and solid particles, preventing internal corrosion and wear in valves and cylinders.
Stable Pressure Regulation: The integrated regulator features a locking adjustment knob (push-lock type) to prevent accidental setting changes. It maintains a stable output pressure even under fluctuating inlet conditions.
Optional Backflow Function: The AW-K models include an integrated backflow mechanism, allowing the air on the outlet side to be exhausted quickly through the regulator when the supply pressure is removed.
