AW30-N02B-2-A: Modular Filter Regulator, Integrated Air Source Treatment Core for Filtration & Pressure Regulation

Product Positioning
The AW30-N02B-2-A is a modular filter regulator from SMC’s AW-A series. It integrates a filter and a regulator into a single unit, simultaneously performing precision filtration of compressed air and stable pressure adjustment within one component. As a core element of the F.R.L. (Filter, Regulator, Lubricator) unit, it is designed for air source treatment in various automation equipment. By removing contaminants and stabilizing air pressure, it provides a clean, constant power source for downstream pneumatic components. It is widely used in packaging machinery, assembly lines, electronic processing, and general industrial automation.

Core Highlights: Integrated Efficiency, Energy Saving & Easy Maintenance

• 2-in-1 Filter/Regulator, Saves Space & Cost
  • Combines filter and regulator into one unit, reducing piping points and installation space, simplifying pneumatic system design, and lowering procurement and maintenance costs.
• Energy-Saving Design, Significantly Improved Pressure Drop
  • Utilizes an energy-saving regulator with optimized flow paths. The pressure drop is improved by up to 50% compared to conventional products, effectively reducing system energy consumption and enhancing pneumatic efficiency.
• Integrated Element Replacement, Improved Maintainability
  • The filter element and bowl are integrated into a single unit. Replacement can be performed easily by hand without disassembling piping, significantly shortening maintenance time and improving work efficiency.
• Transparent Bowl Guard, Safe Visibility
  • Features a transparent, fully enclosed polycarbonate bowl guard covering the bowl, allowing 360° visual confirmation of condensed water level inside the bowl while preventing碎片飞溅 in case of bowl rupture, enhancing safety.
• 5μm Filtration Precision, Adjustable Pressure Range
  • Filtration precision is 5μm, effectively removing solid particles and some oil mist from compressed air.
  • The standard specification (Code “2”) has a set pressure range of 0.05 ~ 0.7 MPa, with a maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa.
  • NPT thread interface, port size 1/4 inch.
  • Option “B” indicates附带 mounting bracket for easy and secure fixing of the valve to equipment.

Specifications Overview

Structure & Features
According to SMC technical data, main features of the AW-A series include:

• Modular Design: Can be freely combined with same-series filters, lubricators, micro-mist separators, etc., to form a complete air source treatment unit (F.R.L.).
• Relief Type: When secondary side pressure exceeds the set value, it automatically exhausts to atmosphere through the relief孔 to stabilize output pressure.
• Knob Locking Mechanism: The adjustment knob can be pulled out to unlock and pushed in to lock, preventing accidental changes to the setting due to vibration (on some models).
• Element Material: Uses high-quality sintered resin or metal elements, offering high filtration efficiency and long life.
• Bowl Material Options: Besides standard polycarbonate bowls, metal bowls can be selected (like the “2” specification in this model) for higher temperature environments or solvent resistance.

Applicable Scenarios

• General Automation Equipment: Air source pre-treatment for pneumatic systems in packaging machinery, assembly lines, material handling, electronic processing, etc.
• Pneumatic Tool Supply: Provides clean, stable compressed air for tools like pneumatic screwdrivers and grinders.
• Precision Instrument Supply: Provides regulated air supply for analytical instruments and testing equipment, avoiding pressure fluctuation影响 measurement accuracy.
• Replacement for Separate Filter and Regulator: Serves as an integrated solution where saving installation space and simplifying piping is needed.
• Equipment for Export: With NPT thread specification, suitable for North America or equipment requiring US standards.

Summary: Integrated and Efficient Air Source Treatment Expert
The AW30-N02B-2-A filter regulator perfectly solves the core矛盾 of “needing a clean, stable air source but having limited space” in pneumatic systems with its 2-in-1 design of filtration and regulation. It improves system efficiency with a 50% improved pressure drop, significantly shortens maintenance time with integrated element replacement, ensures safety and visibility with a transparent bowl guard, and meets most general automation needs with 5μm filtration precision and a 0.05-0.7MPa pressure stabilization range. Choosing the AW30-N02B-2-A means equipping your automation equipment with an efficient, energy-saving, and easy-to-maintain “air source treatment core” – an ideal choice for ensuring the stable operation of downstream pneumatic components and enhancing overall equipment reliability.
