Product catalog summary
Overview: The document is a catalog from Parker Hannifin Corporation detailing air preparation units, specifically precision and electronic proportional regulators. It includes specifications, features, and ordering information for various models of dial regulators, precision regulators, and other related components.
Specifications: The catalog provides detailed specifications for each regulator model, including pressure ranges, flow capacities, and construction materials. For example, the 51R Dial Regulator features a pressure adjustment range of 2 to 160 PSIG, a maximum operating temperature of 150°F, and is constructed from zinc, brass, acetal, and nitrile materials.
Procedures: The document includes instructions for adjusting regulator pressure, emphasizing that pressure should be set by increasing to the desired setting. It warns against exceeding maximum pressure ratings and connecting regulators to bottled gas.
Safety and Warnings: The catalog contains multiple warnings about the potential for product rupture and injury if the regulators are improperly used or selected. Users are advised to thoroughly analyze their applications and ensure all safety requirements are met.
Ordering Information: Each regulator model is accompanied by ordering information, including port sizes, pressure ranges, and available configurations. Popular models are highlighted for ease of selection.
Key Features: The regulators feature balanced poppet designs, non-rising pressure-adjusting dials, and high-relief flow capacities. They are recommended for pilot-air applications and offer full pressure adjustment in less than one full turn.
Flow Characteristics: The catalog includes flow characteristic graphs for different models, illustrating the relationship between flow rate and secondary pressure at specified primary pressures.
Accessories and Kits: The document lists available kits and accessories for each regulator model, such as adjustment dial knobs, repair kits, and tamper-resistant kits.
Technical Information: The document includes technical specifications for the R216 and R210/R220 series precision regulators, detailing features such as high flow performance, accurate pressure regulation, and multi-stage regulation for maximum control and stability. The R210/R220 series is noted for its high precision and suitability for applications requiring precise air pressure regulation.
Applications: The R210 and R220 regulators are suitable for applications such as air gauging, gas mixing, calibration standards, and more, where precise regulation of air pressure is critical.
Materials and Construction: The regulators are constructed using materials such as zinc, plastic, Buna-N for diaphragms and seals, stainless steel for springs and valve poppets, and aluminum for the body and bonnet. The control knob is made of plastic.
R230 Series: This series is designed for high flow capacity and accurate process control. It features a balanced poppet valve and a rolling diaphragm to maintain constant output pressure. Key features include two full flow gauge ports, high flow capacity, and stable output. It is suitable for applications like test equipment, gas mixing, and laboratory equipment.
P3RA302 Series: This compact high precision regulator is suitable for applications requiring high capacity and accurate control. It features a convoluted diaphragm for stability and an aspirator tube to adjust air supply. It is designed for precision applications with a control sensitivity of 0.250" water column variation.
P3RA102 Series: This standard high precision regulator is designed for high capacity applications. It uses a rolling diaphragm for stability and an aspirator tube to adjust air supply. It is suitable for precision processes with a control sensitivity of 0.125" water column.
Warnings and Cautions: Users are warned against connecting regulators to bottled gas and exceeding maximum primary pressure ratings. The document advises setting regulated pressure by increasing it to the desired setting for optimal performance.
Technical Specifications: The document provides detailed specifications for each regulator series, including supply pressure, flow capacity, exhaust capacity, sensitivity, and operating temperature range. It also includes ordering information and available options for each series.
Operating Principles: The P3BA208 Input Signal Amplifier is a pneumatic device designed for high flow and exhaust capacity, utilizing a force balance system to control supply and exhaust valves. At the set point, the force from signal pressure on the Upper Diaphragm balances with the output pressure on the Lower Diaphragm.
Specifications: The document details the specifications for the P31P/P32P Series Electronic Proportional Regulators. These regulators operate with a control signal of 0-10 volts or 4-20 mA and are designed for applications requiring precise pressure control. They are suitable for use with compressed air or inert gases and have a protection rating of IP65.
Procedures: To set the desired pressure, use the designated buttons. Error messages such as excess load current, residual pressure, and applied pressure errors are addressed with specific solutions, including adjusting pressure settings and performing zero resets.
Norms and Standards: The regulators conform to EU standards, including CE and EMC directives. They are designed to meet EN 61000-6-1:2001, EN 61000-6-2:2001, and EN 61000-6-3:2001 standards.
Recommendations: For optimal performance, ensure the input pressure is within the specified range and that the unit is correctly programmed. The document advises on the use of specific mounting brackets and cables for installation.
Features and Benefits: The regulators offer fast response times, accurate output pressure, and multiple mounting options. They are user-friendly with a high visibility LED display and provide excellent linearity and full flow exhaust.
Applications: These regulators are ideal for automotive, packaging, and food industries, among others, where precise pressure control is critical. They are used in applications such as clamping, welding, and tension control.
Technical Information: The document provides detailed technical specifications, including operating pressure ranges, temperature ranges, and power consumption. It also includes information on the regulator's response times and safety features.
Troubleshooting Guide: This section provides guidance on addressing issues with the P31P/P32P Series Electronic Proportional Regulators. It includes steps for changing setpoint values and advises consulting the factory for unresolved problems.
