Product catalog summary
Overview: This document provides comprehensive technical specifications, installation guidelines, and safety precautions for the SMC Series ACG/ARG/AWG regulators and filter regulators with built-in pressure gauges. These components are designed for efficient space utilization and ease of installation in various industrial settings.
Specifications:
  • Port Sizes: Available in 1/8, 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 inch sizes.
  • Pressure Range: Operating pressure ranges from 0.05 to 0.85 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa and a maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa.
  • Temperature Range: Suitable for environments from -5 to 60°C, provided there is no freezing.
  • Filtration: Nominal filtration rating is 5 µm.
  • Materials: Polycarbonate is used for the bowl material, with optional metal bowls available.
Installation and Mounting:
  • Pressure gauges can be mounted at various angles (0°, 90°, 180°, 270°) to optimize visibility and space usage.
  • Panel mounting reduces the number of required installation holes, enhancing space efficiency.
  • Features a pressure gauge anti-revolving mechanism and one-touch installation/removal of the gauge cover.
Product Combinations:
  • Standard combinations include air filters, regulators, lubricators, and mist separators in various configurations (e.g., ACG20/30/40, AWG20/30/40).
  • Options for backflow mechanisms and auto-drain features are available.
Flow and Pressure Characteristics:
  • Flow rate and pressure characteristics are provided for different models (ACG20, ACG30, ACG40) under specified conditions (e.g., inlet pressure of 0.7 MPa).
Precautions and Recommendations:
  • Ensure correct air flow direction when mounting check valves.
  • Use a regulator with a backflow mechanism when mounting a 3-port valve for residual pressure release.
  • Install an air filter with a 5 µm or less filtration rating on the inlet side to prevent damage from dust.
Dimensions: Detailed dimensions are provided for various models, including optional specifications such as auto-drain and metal bowls.
Procedures: Instructions for setting and adjusting regulators are provided, emphasizing manual operation to avoid damage. The handle must be unlocked before adjusting and locked after setting the pressure. The document also includes procedures for mounting and adjusting pressure gauges.
Norms and Recommendations: The document advises consulting with SMC when installing a pressure switch on the outlet of a pressure release valve. It also recommends using an air filter on the IN side for operational protection.
Product Features: The document describes the Series ACG and ARG regulators, including features like built-in pressure gauges and backflow mechanisms. It details the construction materials and replacement parts for these models.
Maintenance: Maintenance guidelines include replacing the filter element every two years or when the pressure drop reaches 0.1 MPa. The document warns against using tools on the pressure regulator handle and advises manual operation only.
Component and Replacement Parts: A detailed list of component and replacement parts is provided, including materials used for each part. The document specifies part numbers for different models (ARG20, ARG30, ARG40) and notes on optional parts.
Accessory and Optional Combinations: The document lists available accessory and optional combinations, such as brackets, set nuts, and auto-drain options. It specifies which combinations are available for each model and notes any restrictions based on thread type.
Warnings and Cautions: The document includes specific product precautions, warnings, and cautions to ensure safe and effective use of the pressure regulators. It emphasizes the importance of following proper procedures to avoid damage and ensure accurate pressure regulation.
Design Considerations: The document advises on selecting appropriate models based on desired purity and application requirements. It also discusses the limitations of using certain materials in specific environments and the need for additional safety measures in certain applications.
Contact Information: SMC Corporation provides contact details for various international offices for further assistance.
