In-line Air Filter

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document outlines the technical specifications and guidelines for the Series ZFC In-line Air Filter, suitable for both positive and vacuum pressures. It is designed to protect solenoid valves and enhance air quality in dusty environments.
Specifications: The filter operates within a pressure range of -100 kPa to 1.0 MPa and supports various tubing sizes in metric (ø4 to ø12) and inch (ø5/32" to ø3/8"). It offers maximum flow rates under positive pressure for different tubing sizes, with filtration ratings of 5 µm and 10 µm.
Features: Key features include a lock mechanism, flexible mounting orientation, and different bore sizes on the IN and OUT sides. The filter is resistant to coolant oil, can be degreased with alcohol, and is available in polycarbonate and nylon transparent case materials.
Installation and Maintenance: Proper installation is crucial, ensuring correct flow direction and sufficient tubing length to avoid stress on the filter body. Maintenance requires regular inspection and replacement of the filter element when pressure drops reach specified limits.
Operating Environment: The filter should not be used in environments with corrosive gases, chemicals, or direct contact with water or steam. It is unsuitable for explosive or flammable gas environments and should be shielded from excessive heat and sunlight.
Air Supply: Clean compressed air is recommended, with air dryers or water separators installed upstream to prevent equipment malfunction due to drainage.
Warnings and Cautions: Precautions include ensuring proper torque for screws and avoiding the use of both positive and negative pressures in the same circuit. The procedure for element replacement is outlined, emphasizing leak checks post-maintenance.
Specifications and Usage: Designed for compressed air systems, including vacuum, the product should not be operated outside specified pressures or temperatures. Contact SMC for use with fluids other than compressed air. Modifications are prohibited as they may cause injury or void the warranty.
Compatibility and Safety: Product compatibility is the responsibility of the equipment designer. Only trained personnel should operate machinery, and safety measures must be confirmed before servicing. Special safety considerations are required for outdoor use or applications involving atomic energy or medical treatment.
Warranty and Compliance: The product has a warranty of 1 year in service or 1.5 years after delivery. Manufacturing defects within the warranty period will be addressed with replacements. The use of products in weapon manufacture is prohibited, and exports must comply with security laws.
Safety Instructions: Instructions are categorized by risk level: Caution (low risk), Warning (medium risk), and Danger (high risk). These must be followed alongside international standards to prevent hazardous situations.
