AW20-02B-2-A: Modular Filter Regulator, Economical Air Preparation Unit Integrating Filtration and Pressure Regulation

Product Positioning
The AW20-02B-2-A is a modular filter regulator from the SMC AW-A series, integrating a filter and a regulator into a single unit. It performs precision filtration of compressed air and stable pressure regulation simultaneously within one body. As a core component of the F.R.L. air treatment unit, it is designed for air source preparation in various automated 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: 2-in-1 Filtration & Regulation, Metal Bowl, Includes Bracket

• 2-in-1 Filtration & Regulation, Saves Space and Cost
  • Combining filter and regulator reduces connection points and installation space, simplifies pneumatic system design, and lowers procurement and maintenance costs.
• Metal Bowl, Robust and Durable
  • Uses a metal case as the condensate reservoir, offering higher pressure resistance and solvent resistance compared to polycarbonate bowls, suitable for industrial environments with higher strength requirements.
• 5μm Filtration Precision, Adjustable Pressure Range
  • Filtration precision is 5μm, effectively removing solid particles from compressed air.
  • Set pressure range is 0.05 to 0.7 MPa, with a maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa, meeting most general automation needs.
• Rc1/4 Standard Port, Includes Mounting Bracket
  • Thread type is Rc/PT taper pipe thread, port size is 1/4 inch.
  • Option “B” signifies附带安装托架, facilitating secure mounting of the valve onto equipment and simplifying installation.
• Manual Drain Type, Easy Maintenance
  • Drain method is manual drain cock, requiring periodic manual draining of accumulated condensate in the bowl.
• Wide Operating Condition Adaptability, Maintenance-Free Lubrication
  • Working Fluid: Air.
  • Proof pressure is 1.5 MPa, ensuring ample safety margin.
  • Ambient/Fluid temperature range: -5 to 60°C (no freezing).
  • Relief Type Structure: Automatically exhausts to atmosphere when secondary pressure exceeds the set value, stabilizing output pressure.
  • Condensate storage capacity: 8 cm³.
