Air pressure regulator
Air Pressure Regulator
An air pressure regulator is a device used to control and maintain a consistent air pressure level in pneumatic systems. It ensures that downstream components receive the correct pressure, preventing damage and improving efficiency.
Key Features
- Precise Pressure Control: Regulates air pressure to ensure system stability
- Adjustable Pressure Settings: Allows customization based on system requirements
- Durable Construction: Available in stainless steel, carbon steel, alloy steel, and brass
- Automatic Pressure Adjustment: Reacts to changes in upstream pressure fluctuations
- Multiple Connection Types: Available in threaded, flanged, SW, and screwed end connections
Types of Air Pressure Regulators
- Direct-Acting Air Pressure Regulator – Uses a spring-loaded mechanism for simple pressure adjustments
- Pilot-Operated Air Pressure Regulator – Offers precise pressure control for high-demand applications
- Adjustable Air Pressure Regulator – Allows users to manually set pressure levels
- Fixed Air Pressure Regulator – Pre-set for specific applications requiring constant pressure
Applications
- Industrial Pneumatic Systems – Controls air pressure in automation and manufacturing processes
- Air Compressors – Regulates output pressure to prevent overloading tools and equipment
- HVAC Systems – Maintains optimal air pressure in heating and cooling systems
