Compact manifold regulators

SMC Corporation has announced the release of the compact manifold regulators series ARM10/11. These regulators provide maximum space efficiency when multiple units are used.

Developed to combine regulators into a compact manifold configuration, the regulators save space and piping connections and enable mounting of a number of units in a control panel or on a DIN rail for maximum space efficiency.

The space-saving ARM10/11 regulator has a built-in pressure gauge and the option of two pressure ranges. Available for ports of various sizes, it also enables ports to be run out of the top or bottom for versatility, in difficult or confined spaces. The regulator banks can be made to suit the requirements of the OEMs and end users, in any industry including food, pharmaceuticals, automotive and semiconductor.

Other features include push-in fittings, both straight and elbow type, an integral isolation valve for maintenance purposes without affecting other systems, and an integral pressure switch to monitor the inlet pressure to the regulator manifold.

The regulator manifolds ARM11 can either have a common supply pressure for all regulators or individual supply for each regulator, and the control knobs of the regulators can be positioned to face the top, front or bottom of the regulator as required.

The compact arrangement enables all regulators to be viewed together and adjustments and maintenance to be carried out from one location, thus saving operator time. Non-relieving and oil-free versions of these regulators are also available.
