SMC'S new AC-B series of modular type F.R.L. unit is available in six basic sizes and is interchangeable with the existing modular AC line. The AC-B series has a maximum set pressure of 125 psi and offers embedded gauge and pressure switch options not found in the AC-A. The element and bowl on the AF series is now one-piece, making element replacement easier. Required maintenance space has been reduced by as much as 46% on the AFseries, depending on the body size. Bowls on size 30 and up are now covered with a transparent bowl guard, completely protecting them from the environment, and making the interior contents visible from 360 degrees. The base color of the new AC-B is urban white, maintaining a clean, modern look.

Series VCH41/42 is a 2 port pilot operated solenoid valve for high pressure application. Designed for use with air or inert gas, the VCH valve can operate up to a maximum pressure of 5.0 MPa. With reduction in the overall volume of the pilot chamber, the VCH's responsiveness can now be measured in just milliseconds. Non-collision armature construction, rubber buffers and a urethane diaphragm give the VCH series an expected service life of 10 million cycles.

The VQC series has five standard wiring packages bringing a world of ease to wiring and maintenance work, while the protective enclosures of three of them conform to IP67 standards for protection from dust and moisture. The use of multi-pin connectors to replace wiring inside manifold blocks provides flexibility when adding stations or changing manifold configuration. The VQC series has outstanding response times and long life.

IP8000 E/P positioner is more compact than the IP6000 with improved visibility of the pressure indicator. Other features include an improved enclosure protection IP65, interchangeable mounting, excellent shock and vibration performance, and a 1/2 split range available by simple span adjustment. The IP200 cylinder positioner provides accurate and stable positioning of air cylinders. The compact design allows easy installation and maintenance. A span adjuster and zero adjuster are provided for the adjustment of the feed back spring.

Series KQG2 is a one-touch fitting made of all stainless steel SUS316, except seal parts. The series is suitable for use with steam and is grease-free. Applicable tubing includes FEP, PFA, nylon, soft nylon, polyurethane and polyolefin. The KQG2 series is available in both metric and inch sizes. The KQG2 is more compact and lightweight, and offers more configuration variations and tube sizes than the KQG series.

The new JSXFA series is a high performance pulse valve for reverse jet dust collector applications. The JSXFA has variable port sizes and available in threaded and compression fitting connections. The JSXFA also has reduced air consumption and increased peak pressure. The heavy elastomer diaphragm allows the JSXFA to achieve its 10 million cycle life.

CH series hydraulic cylinders are available in compact, round body, JIS or tie-rod types. Nominal pressure ranges from 3.5MPa to 16MPa. Bore sizes are available, depending on the series, from 20 to 160. Auto switches are available on most models.

Series CS1 air cylinder is SMC's largest bore cylinder. This series is available in bore sizes up to 300mm and stroke lengths up to 2400mm. Additionally, the CS1 can be ordered auto-switch capable. Other options include, large bore sizes up to 300mm, various mounting configurations, cushion for noise damping.

Series CS2 air cylinder is a double acting, non-lube air cylinder. Aluminum die-cast is used for both the rod and head covers, which means a maximum weight reduction of approximately 50% (basic 125mm bore, 100mm stroke). This series is available in bore sizes 125mm, 140mm and 160mm with maximum strokes up to 1600mm (depending on the mounting configuration). Air cushions are standard on both ends. Other options include auto switches, rod boots, and Rc, NPT or G thread types.

The SYJA3000/5000/7000 series are 4 & 5 port air operated valves with rubber seals. The SYJA300 is 3 port air operated valve with a small profile that increases design flexibility and minimizes space requirements. All SYJA series are available in a body ported or base mounted style.

Series VPA4 is a 5 port air operated valve with a rubber seal. The series is available with or without a sub-plate. Applicable thread types include Rc, G, NPT, NPTF. Also available is the 3 port VPA300/500/700 in body ported or base mounted styles. The VPA offers a high flow capacity of Cv1.0 (VPA300), Cv2.3 (VPA500), Cv4.0 (VPA700). It is possible to use the series as either a selector valve or divider valve. The VPA is changeable from a normally closed style to a normally open style.

VXB series is an air operated valve for steam that utilizes angle seat structure to minimize pressure loss. It is available with stainless steel 316L or bronze body material, and port size ranges from 3/8" to 3/4". FKM seals are utilized to reduce leakage and provide long service life of over 3 million cycles (steam) or 5 million cycles (air).

VXS 2 port solenoid valve for steam is compact and lightweight, designed to operate with no need for differential pressure. The VXS is considerably quieter than similar valves due to its special construction and full wave rectifier type solenoid. A piston main valve and special FKM material for both the valve and seal help reduce internal leakage to 1.0 cm³/min or less, and improve life cycle and valve reliability. The VXS valve series is RoHS compliant and meets IP65 enclosure guidelines.

2-port solenoid valve was designed for special applications like air, gas, steam, water and oil. The VXK includes a Y type strainer installed inside the body to remove foreign materials mixed in fluids before they enter the actuating part of the valve (armature), as well as preventing the flow of foreign materials to downstream equipment. The VXH is high pressure capable of a maximum operating pressure is 2.0 MPa.

Direct air and solenoid operated 2 and 3 port valves can be used with a wide variety of fluids. The manifolds are available in a common SUP style or individual SUP style (for vacuum use). The VXA31/32 series manifold is individually ported. Valves for both are easily replaced without changing existing piping.
