SMC AS Series In-Line Type Flow Controller M

SMC Series AS Flow Controller, 1.5MPa Proof Pressure, 1Mpa Maximum Operating Pressure - AS3002F-08

This flow controller is an in-line pneumatic regulator designed to adjust and control air flow in compressed air systems. It is intended for use with plastic tubing and offers reversible free-flow capability for flexible installation in industrial environments where moderate temperatures and pressures are encountered.

Features and Benefits:

• Proof pressure 1.5MPa provides a safety margin for pressure spikes
  Operating range 0.1-1MPa enables accurate flow control across common pneumatic pressures
  Compatible with nylon, polyurethane and soft nylon tubing for application flexibility
  Throttle valve function allows precise downstream flow adjustment
  Maximum medium temperature 60°C permits use in warm process zones
  Minimum medium temperature -5°C prevents condensation-related issues in cooler settings

Applications

• Suitable for machine tool pneumatic actuation control
  Used with pneumatic conveyors to regulate feed rate
  Ideal for factory automation air supply balancing
  Can be used for laboratory compressed air flow tuning
  Suitable for OEM equipment requiring compact in-line regulation
