RS Components (RS) has announced a significant extension to its range of pneumatic components from SMC. Targeting machine builders developing new pneumatics-based applications as well as maintenance engineers, the additions to the SMC pneumatic components range comprise more than 600 products including cylinders, actuators, valves, fittings, assemblies, filters, lubricators, regulators, hoses and air-preparation devices.

Pneumatics technologies are deployed in a multitude of industry sectors including automotive, electronics, photovoltaics, print, pulp and paper, food and beverage processing, mineral processing and quarrying, and also in life sciences. RS is now the only global distributor holding stock for the majority of SMC pneumatic component products.

The increased range now includes the KQG2 one-touch pneumatic fittings manufactured from SUS316 stainless steel, which offers higher pitting and corrosion resistance. They are suitable for use with compressed air, water and steam, and are able to perform across a wide range of pressures, making them suitable for the food and beverage as well as the chemical industry.

The KQG2 range of lightweight and compact push-in fittings are 30% smaller and 62% lighter than the existing KQG range and available to tubing diameters from 3.2 to 16 mm.

The AR-B series of pneumatic air regulators feature a lightweight modular design that allows connection to other SMC air-preparation equipment. The AR-B series can be mounted using a bracket or can be panel mounted. All versions come with a locking setting nut to prevent accidental adjustment and are available in various body sizes (20 to 40) and with 1/8 to 1/2″ piping.

The extensive range of pneumatic components and products from SMC is now available from RS in the EMEA and Asia Pacific regions.
