ARP Precision Regulators by SMC offer high-performance, modular pressure control ideal for cleanroom, automation, and critical pneumatic applications. Browse our extensive selection of ARP20, ARP30, and ARP40 models to find the exact regulator for your setup.
What Are ARP Precision Regulators?
ARP regulators are direct-operated precision regulators engineered for accurate and stable pressure output. Designed with a locking adjustment knob and optional backflow function, they offer reliable performance in sensitive applications.
Key Features:
- High sensitivity: Within 0.2% F.S.
- Excellent repeatability: ±1% F.S.
- Three pressure range options (0.2, 0.4, 0.6 MPa)
- Backflow function available for fast exhaust
- Modular design with cleanroom-compliant variants
Applications:
- Medical equipment manufacturing
- Semiconductor and cleanroom systems
- Precision control in industrial automation
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between ARP20, ARP30, and ARP40?
The ARP20 is the smallest model suitable for 1/8” to 1/4” ports, the ARP30 is mid-sized, and the ARP40 is for larger port sizes up to 1/2”. Each offers similar precision with size-scaled flow capacity.
What is the backflow function and do I need it?
The backflow function enables fast exhaust of outlet pressure, useful in systems where pressure relief is needed quickly. It’s recommended for dynamic systems or emergency venting needs.
Can ARP regulators be used in cleanroom environments?
Yes, specific ARP models are compliant with cleanroom standards and are available in copper-, fluorine-, and silicon-free configurations.
How do I determine the correct pressure setting range?
Choose from three ranges (up to 0.2 MPa, 0.4 MPa, or 0.6 MPa) based on your application’s precision and control requirements. Refer to your system’s spec sheet or contact support for help.
Are CAD models and configuration tools available?
Yes, you can access 2D/3D CAD files and configuration tools directly from our product pages or the SMC technical portal linked in the Resources section.
