AW Series Air Filter Regulator

Features & Key Specifications

Features & Key Specifications of Our AW Series:

Integrated Space-Saving Design:
The "piggyback" filter regulator design combines two essential air preparation functions into one compact body, reducing installation space, cost, and potential leak points.

Full Range of Port Sizes (M5 to 1"):
To accommodate everything from miniature pneumatics to large industrial applications, this series is available in a comprehensive range of port sizes, including M5, 1/8", 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4", and 1".

High-Efficiency Filtration:
The standard 25 micron filter element effectively protects your pneumatic system. For applications requiring higher purity air, a 5 micron element is available as an option.

Precise & Stable Pressure Control:
The high-quality regulator features a locking adjustment knob and a wide adjustment range (0.05 - 0.9 MPa) to deliver stable downstream pressure for consistent performance.

Full Range of Options:
Customize your unit with an optional auto drain for maintenance-free operation, a choice of a traditional Round Pressure Gauge or a modern, compact Square Pressure Gauge, and mounting brackets for easy installation.

Global Compatibility:
Available with NPT, BSPP (G), and BSPT (P) threads to ensure easy integration into any pneumatic system worldwide.

Application Fields

The Essential Component for Modern Pneumatic Systems:

Industrial Automation: The standard choice for providing clean, regulated air to automated machinery of all sizes.

Manufacturing & Assembly: Powering pneumatic tools and actuators with reliable, moisture-free air.

OEM Machine Building: A compact, reliable, and cost-effective solution for machine designers.

Automotive & Body Shops: Essential for paint spraying and protecting air tools.

Laboratory & Medical Equipment: Providing clean, instrument-quality air for sensitive devices, especially in smaller M5 and 1/8" sizes.

Technical & Selection Guide

Why Choose a Filter Regulator (FR) Unit?

In today's pneumatic systems, most components like cylinders and valves are pre-lubricated for life and do not require additional oil mist. Therefore, a Filter Regulator (FR) unit is the most common and appropriate choice for air preparation. It provides the two most critical functions: cleaning the air and controlling the pressure.

Choosing Your Gauge Style:

Round Pressure Gauge (Standard): A classic, easy-to-read dial, suitable for most applications.

Square Pressure Gauge (Optional): A modern, low-profile design that can be integrated more cleanly into the body of the regulator, saving space and reducing the risk of damage.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a "piggyback" filter regulator?
A: "Piggyback" is the common industry term for a filter and regulator that are combined into a single, integrated unit. It's a space-saving design compared to connecting two separate components.

Q: What is the difference between this AW series and the AC series?
A: The AW series is a filter-regulator (FR) combination. The AC series is a filter-regulator-lubricator (FRL) combination. Choose the AW series if you do not need to add oil to your air line.

Q: Can I order a unit with a square pressure gauge?
A: Yes. We offer both traditional round gauges and modern, integrated square pressure gauges as an option for a cleaner, more compact installation.
