SMC Air Dryers Vs. Norgren: Precise Temperature And Dewpoint Control

Air line equipment is essential to numerous pneumatics systems. SMC Pneumatics offers…

Refrigerated Air Dryers

Increase the lifespan of your system with superior corrosion resistance using these refrigerated air dryers. SMC equipment does its part to help prevent damage to the ozone layer by using refrigerants R134a and R407C. Series IDU delivers a reliable supply of dry air even when you’ve got high demand situations with an inlet air temperature of 55°C. This unit has a plate style heat exchanger that guards pneumatic gear against moisture.

Thermo Dryer

This SMC thermo dryer is a compact unit that delivers consistent compressed air temperature control thanks to its integrated:

• Heater
• Regulator
• Dryer
• …and filter.

It has elite control over air quality with temperature, dew point, pressure and cleanliness all held in exact status no matter what the weather’s like outside, or what season it is. This compact unit has ventilation holes on the front and top which means you can install it near a wall or panel.

This piece boasts:

• Power failure auto-restart functions
• Auto-tuning (A-T) capabilities
• Failure alarms and key locks for extra security

…and more.

SMC Actuators: A Top Quality Alternative to Norgren

SMC actuators deliver steady, consistent performance. These rotary actuators bring smooth operation without backlash to your systems. They’re compact, lightweight, and durable enough to serve you for the long term, and we’re confident they make a preferable option to many alternatives on the market, including those by Norgren.

SMC Rotary Actuators: Reliable, Efficient Pneumatic Equipment

Rotary actuators by SMC offer an excellent torque-to-size ratio, not to mention highly accurate positioning. Bore sizes are 30, 50, 63, 80, and 100mm. Order your units to be able to perform auto switching or with cushions as needed. Single shaft and double shaft end models may also be ordered.

SMC 3-Port Solenoid Valves

SMC’s S0700 series delivers a compact valve and manifold design that is capable of high flow performance. This 5 port solenoid valve is 7mm wide and may be ordered in plug-in and plug lead types.

Applicable manifolds include…

• Serial transmission types
• D-sub connectors
• Flat ribbon cable
• Terminal block
• Lead wire
• Circular connectors

Compressed Air Filters And Centrifugal Water Separators By SMC

SMC filter and centrifugal water separator units are highly efficient. Many people choose SMC over Norgren counterparts in their pneumatic and automation systems.

Use these units to enjoy:

• Proper air prep and minimized component failure
• Boosted operating life
• Reduced energy consumption

…and more.

Filters and air separators are perfect for use with mineral and synthetic oils, not to mention oil-free compressed air applications.

SMC High Vacuum Valves: Reliable, High-Performance Pneumatic Valve

These SMC Vacuum Valves provide excellent vacuum and suction performance for your pneumatic systems. This unit is designed to provide…

• Easy installation
• Lock-tight vacuum
• Super strong suction
• Steady consistent airflow
• Long lifespan

Industrial plants of all kinds often choose these models for their operations over comparable Norgren units.

SMC Pneumatics Manifold Regulators: A Convenient Norgren Alternative

SMC’s manifold regulator offers four convenient connection methods. This ARM manifold regulator series may be ordered in standard sizes: 1000 and 2000. The modular edition may be ordered in 2500 and 3000. Many clients love how easy it is to set this piece up thanks to the new handle, and they often pick this model over Norgren because it can be mounted on a manifold station freely.

Quick final notes:

• Small size pressure gauge ø15
• Maximum operating pressure: 0.8MPa

SMC SV Manifold Series: Super Simple Operation & Multiple Connections

SMC also offers the SV series offers your system a multi-connector rather than the typical lead wires for inner manifold wiring. This makes it much simpler to make changes and adjustments to manifold stations. If you want some of the best flexibility in the game and are in the middle of deciding whether to choose SMC or Norgren alternatives, use these cassette style manifolds. An easy release mechanism makes adding manifolds as simple as can be. You can get tie-rod base type manifolds as well.

With this model you get…

• 16 stations with double solenoids thanks to the 34 pin connectors
• Decentralized serial wiring
• Tie rod base
• 3000 series

…and more.

Angular Grippers By SMC: Consistent, Clean Motions

SMC offers you the MHC gripper, which is perfect for all angular gripping operations thanks to its consistent, clean motions. This unit offers an excellent opening range from 30 to -10 degrees. This compact unit has a strong gripping force because of its powerful double piston design. The MHC series comes with a built-in speed adjustment and a recessed groove for automatic switching.

Compact Cylinders By SMC: A Cutting Edge Redesign That Blows The Competition Away

SMC proudly stacks up its redesigned CQ2 cylinder against any competitor’s unit, including Norgren. The new design makes it possible to mount auto switches onto any of the cylinders four surfaces (though installation conditions will play a factor). Rather than the CQ2s mounting rails, this model sports auto switch mounting grooves which bring:

• Ease
• Safety
• Convenience

…and efficiency to your operation.

Mufflers By SMC: New And Improved Noise Reduction

SMC provides Series AN silencers in numerous styles. These units have low backpressure and a simple compact mounting design. We improved our noise reduction to 30 dB(A), and the super sturdy case is flame resistant UL94-V0 grade material.

Quick Muffler Specs:

• Compresssed air fluid
• Noise reduction of 25-35 dB(A) or more
• 1.0MPa Maximum operating pressure
• 5-60 C Ambient temperatures
