Design
1.
The standard bowl for the air filter and filter regulator are made of
polycarbonate. Do not use in an environment where they are
exposed to or come in contact with organic solvents, chemicals,
cutting oil, synthetic oil, ester based compressor oil, alkali, and
thread lock solutions.
2.
Avoid applications where pressurized air is frequently introduced
to and released from the standard bowl of an air filter, or filter
regulator. It may cause the bowl to be damaged. Use of a metal
bowl is recommended for such applications.
3.
Regulator and filter regulator
Be sure to install a safety device to prevent damage or
malfunction of the outlet side components when the output
pressure exceeds the set pressure value.
1.
Select a model that is suitable for desired purity by referring to the
SMC's Best Pneumatics catalog.
2.
Components cannot be used for applications that are outside the
range of specifications. Please consult with SMC when you
anticipate using the component outside the range of its
specifications (such as temperature and pressure).
3. Mist separator and micro mist separator
Design the system so that the mist separator and micro-mist
separator are installed where there is less pulsation. A pressure
difference between internal and external pressure inside the
element should be kept within 0.1 MPa, as exceeding this value
can cause damage.
4. Regulator and filter regulator
Air consumption is 0.1
l
/min (ANR) or less under standard
specifications. Please consult with SMC, if this value is not
allowable.
1.
The grease (10-: Fluorine, 21-: Mineral) used on internal sliding
parts and seals may run down to outlet side components. Please
consult with SMC if this is not desirable.
2. Regulator and filter regulator
1) Residual pressure release (outlet pressure release) is not
complete by releasing the inlet pressure. To release residual
pressure, select a model with a back flow mechanism. Using a
model without a back flow mechanism makes for inconsistent
residual pressure release (i.e., residual pressure may or may
not be released) depending upon the operating conditions.
2) Please contact SMC if air will not be consumed in the system
for a long period of time, or if the outlet side will be used with a
sealed circuit and a balanced circuit, as this may cause the set
pressure of the outlet side to fluctuate.
3) Set the regulating pressure range for the outlet pressure of the
regulator in a range that is 85% or less of the inlet pressure. If
set to above 85%, the outlet pressure will be easily affected by
fluctuations in the flow rate and inlet pressure, and become
unstable.
4) A safety margin is calculated into the maximum set pressure
range appearing in the catalog's specification table. Therefore,
the outlet pressure may exceed the set pressure.
5) Please contact SMC when a circuit requires relief sensitivity or
setting accuracy with high precision.
