Features of Air Units/Air Filters/Regulators
Air unit (FRL unit)
This is an air filter (F), regulator (R), and lubricator (L) connected as a set.
Features
- The air filter, regulator, and lubricator are all in one unit, making it compact and easy to install.
- Each device is connected by a dedicated adapter, making the unit space saving.
Types of air units
Two-item set
- A regulator with filter and a lubricator are connected.
- A pressure gauge and a bracket come standard.
Modular type (combination)
- Standardized components (modules) are combined to link functions.
Main points
-
Check the connection bore.
<Connection bore size>
Rc1/8、Rc1/4、Rc3/8、Rc1/2、Rc3/4、Rc1
- Check the pressure used (MPa).
- Check the processing flow rate (L/min).
- Check the setting pressure (adjustable pressure) (MPa).
Air filter
This is a device that removes dust and water droplets from compressed air and supplies clean air.
Features
- Compressed air from the compressor is turned by the louver deflector, and that cyclonic effect separates water droplets and relatively large dusts. In addition, the element filters out microscopic contaminants and sends clean air to the outlet.
- This removes dust, water droplets, rust, etc. generated in compressed air or piping to protect pneumatic equipment from troubles.
Separated water droplets, dust, etc. are discharged to the outside by a manual drain valve or automatic drain valve attached to the bottom of the bowl.
Air filter (double layer)
Features
The filter is double-layered to enable more stable removal of impurities.
Main points
-
Check the piping connection bore.

Rc1/8、Rc1/4、Rc3/8、Rc1/2、Rc3/4、Rc1
- Check the air pressure used (MPa).
- Check the operating temperature (℃).
- Check the processing flow rate (L/min).
- Check the filtration (μm).
Regulator
This is a device that reduces compressed air pressure to provide a stable compressed air supply.
Features
- In addition to regulating the outlet pressure (outlet side of the regulator), it minimizes fluctuations in the set pressure even when conditions such as outlet air flow rate fluctuate.
- It is used before solenoid valves at the end of piping in factories and the like.
Regulator with filter
Features
- It can hold the functions of an air filter and regulator in a single unit. (Two roles in one)
Main points
-
Check the piping connection bore.
<Connection bore size>
Rc1/8、Rc1/4、Rc3/8、Rc1/2、Rc3/4、Rc1
- Check the air pressure used (MPa).
- Check the processing flow rate (L/min).
- Check the setting pressure (adjustable pressure) (MPa).
- There are two types: with and without relief that releases the pressure to the atmosphere when the outlet exceeds the set pressure.
