AC Series Compact FRL Combination Units (Filter-Regulator + Lubricator)

Features & Key Specifications

Features & Key Specifications of Our Compact AC Series:

Integrated Filter-Regulator (FR) Unit:
The smart "piggyback" design combines a high-efficiency particulate filter and a precision pressure regulator into one body, reducing size, weight, and potential leak points.

Complete 3-Stage Air Treatment:
This filter regulator lubricator assembly performs all essential air preparation tasks: it removes moisture and particulates, provides precise pressure control, and adds a fine oil mist for tools and cylinders.

High-Efficiency Filtration:
The standard 25 micron filter element effectively removes harmful contaminants. For applications requiring higher purity, a 5 micron element is available as an option.

Precise Pressure Control:
The integrated regulator features a locking adjustment knob for setting and maintaining a stable downstream pressure, ensuring consistent performance from your pneumatic equipment.

Modular & Interchangeable Design:
The components are designed to industry-standard port locations and connection dimensions, making them easily interchangeable and simple to integrate into existing systems.

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

Application Fields

The Compact Foundation for Any Reliable Pneumatic System:

Compact Machinery & Equipment: Ideal for OEM machine builders where internal cabinet space is limited.

Manufacturing & Assembly Stations: Providing full air treatment without taking up excessive space.

Automotive Repair Shops: A compact and efficient unit for protecting air tools.

Mobile Pneumatic Systems: The smaller footprint is an advantage for truck-mounted or portable equipment.

Any application requiring full FRL functionality in a tight envelope.

Technical & Selection Guide

When to Choose a Compact FRL

When Space is Limited: This is the primary reason. The integrated FR unit can reduce the overall length of the assembly by 25-30% compared to a traditional 3-piece FRL.

For Simplified Installation: With fewer connection points, a compact FRL can be quicker and easier to install.

For a Cleaner Look: The integrated design offers a sleeker, more modern appearance for your machinery.

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.

Q: Is the performance the same as a 3-piece FRL?
A: Yes. A compact FRL offers the same high-performance filtration, regulation, and lubrication as its larger, 3-piece counterpart. The only difference is the physical size.

Q: Can I get this combination without the lubricator?
A: Absolutely. If you only need filtration and regulation, you can order the integrated filter-regulator (FR) unit by itself. This is often referred to as an AW series unit.
