Electronic Pressure Regulators

 

Electronic Pressure Regulators

Electronic pressure regulators are vital components in airline equipment, providing precise control and maintenance of desired pressure levels within a system. Employing advanced electronic sensors and controllers, they efficiently regulate fluid or gas flow for accurate pressure management, outperforming their mechanical counterparts by eliminating the reliance on springs or diaphragms.

These regulators excel in diverse industries such as industrial manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and medical devices, offering enhanced response times, superior accuracy, and remote programmability.


Types of Electronic Regulators

Digital Electronic Pressure Regulators

Utilize microprocessors for pressure control, allowing for multiple setpoints and options like PID control for increased precision.

Proportional Pressure Regulators

Use proportional solenoid valves for dynamic pressure adjustment, ideal for pneumatic automation and robotics. (e.g., SMC ITV 1010)

Piezoelectric Regulators

Leverage piezoelectric crystals to deliver precise pressure control, suitable for applications requiring exact pressure adjustments.

Vacuum Electronic Regulators

Maintain desired vacuum levels in applications like semiconductor manufacturing. (e.g., SMC ITV 2090)

High-Pressure Electronic Regulators

Designed for high-pressure scenarios such as oil and gas exploration, utilizing robust materials and sensors. (e.g., SMC ITVH2020)
