Why is inlet air filtration so important?

08 September, 2008

Inlet air filters are supposed to be changed when they get dirty, and begin to restrict the air flow to the compressor. The obvious benefit is preventing contaminates from accelerating wear rates inside the compressor. The less obvious benefit is preventing a dirty inlet filter from causing elevated temperatures that risk major damage. This article includes case studies that highlight why air inlet filtration is so important.


Pressure regulators

05 September, 2008 | Supplied by: Festo Pty Ltd

The MPa regulators provide a fast and convenient space-saving solution for pressure control on pneumatic actuators. Designed to be installed between the valve and the sub-base on the Festo MPa valve terminal, they feature highly compact adjustment knobs and may also be equipped with repositionable pressure gauges for easy confirmation of the correct operating pressure.


Shock absorbers

05 September, 2008 | Supplied by: SMC Australia | New Zealand

Absorbing the energy produced by moving masses, especially at slow speeds, has long been an issue for machine designers. A shock absorber with a design that absorbs energy at slow speeds has been developed by SMC.


Miniature solenoid valves

05 September, 2008 | Supplied by: Festo Pty Ltd

The VOVG compact solenoid valve series includes valves suitable for compact handling applications that require high packing density, as well as applications in the electronics and light assembly industries. It is also suitable as a pilot valve in process automation for media-contact valves and drives.
