Integral pressure gauge saves space and
time
Machine builders and manufacturers frequently request smaller, easier to use components with less installation and general maintenance time: pressure gauges built into regulators answer this request
One of the most frequent requests from machine builders and manufacturers with production facilities is for the development of smaller, easier to use, components which require less installation and general maintenance time Research engineers from SMC have clearly recognised this requirement with the launch of their comprehensive range of new regulators and filter regulators with built in pressure gauges - Series ACG/ARG/AWG

SMC 2 / 3 port solenoid valves take extra pressure
Process industry and PET machine builder requests for both 2 and 3 port, pilot operated solenoid valves, with high pressure performance, are now answered with the launch of the SMC Series VCH range
These were developed initially to achieve space savings and reduced labour costs when panel mounting regulator and filter regulator units.
The latest range of compressed air supply components feature integral, non rotating, pressure gauges inside a unique adjustable handle thereby eliminating the need to install separate pressure controls.
Offering excellent visibility, Series ACG/ARG/AWG can be clearly seen and adjusted even when mounted in those difficult areas such as close to the floor, or even when side mounted high up a wall.
Performance can be set using simple limit indicators, which can easily be adjusted by removing the one-touch see through gauge cover.
Additionally, the mounting angle of the gauge can also be selected from four directions - 0, 90, 180 or 270 degrees in relation to the piping direction.
Designed for use with air up to a maximum operating pressure of 1.0MPa, with ambient fluid temperature range of between -5C to +60C these innovative regulators have been designed to fully integrate with the existing SMC range of FRL units.
