Description
A regulator is a specialized control valve which reduces the upsteam supply pressure level to a specified constant downstream pressure. It does this regardless of variations in that upstream pressure or changes in flow through the valve.

Technical Info
Airtac air regulators have:
1. 1/8 ", 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4" , 1" NPT Female connections.
2. 106 CFM ( 3000L / min ), 140 CFM ( 4000L /min ), 212 CFM ( 6000L / min )
353 CFM ( 10000L / min ) flows are available.
3. Interchangeable with SMC AR30, AR40, AR60 air regulators
There are five main attributes to consider when selecting a Regulator:
•Flow Capacity - measured in CFM or cubic feet per minute
•Inlet Pressure Rating - measured in PSI or pounds per square inch
•Port Size - thread size of the regulator
•Reduced Pressure Range - refers to the prressure range to which downstream pressure can be regulated
•Relieving capability - refers to the ability of a regulator to exhaust excess downstream pressure: It is therefore normal to hear blow-off from the regulator when downstream pressure is reduced. Non-relieving regulators are also available, and will only change downstream pressure once the tool is actuated or downstream air is exhau8sted in some way.
