May 18, 2005 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
Indianapolis, IN – SMC Corporation of America, the world’s largest manufacturer of pneumatic products and filtration equipment has announced the release of new Compact Manifold Regulators series ARM10/11. These regulators provide maximum space efficiency when multiple units are used.

Developed to combine regulators in to a compact manifold configuration, the regulators save space, piping connections and enables mounting of a number of units in a control panel or on a DIN rail for maximum space efficiency.

The space saving ARM10/11 regulator has a built in pressure gauge and the option of two pressure ranges. Available for ports of various sizes, it also enables ports to be run out of the top or bottom for versatility, in difficult or confined spaces. The regulator banks can be made to suit the requirements of the OEMs and end users, in any industry including food, pharmaceuticals, automotive and semiconductor.

Other features include push in fittings, both straight and elbow type, and an integral isolation valve for maintenance purposes without affecting other systems, and an integral pressure switch to monitor the inlet pressure to the regulator manifold

The regulator manifolds ARM11 can either have a common supply pressure for all regulators or individual supply for each regulator, and the control knobs of the regulators can be positioned to face Top, Front or Bottom of the regulator as required.

The compact arrangement enables all regulators to be viewed together and adjustments and maintenance to be carried out from one location, thus saving operator time

The ARM10 single unit type regulator has same basic functions as ARM 11 manifold type regulator, and is ideal for panel mounting, available with top or front facing control knobs.

Non-relieving and oil free versions of these regulators also available from SMC, upon request.

The ARM regulator manifolds are assembled at SMC’s Indianapolis, Indiana factory.
