AR60-10BG-B: Large-Bore Modular Regulator, Pressure Control Core for High-Flow Pneumatic Systems

2026-03-23 By xyj2024 0

Product Positioning
The AR60-10BG-B is a modular regulator from SMC’s AR-B series, serving as the core pressure control element in pneumatic F.R.L. units. This product is designed for high-flow pneumatic systems, featuring a body size of 60 and a 1-inch port size, with a maximum flow rate of up to 10,000 L/min. It incorporates a mechanism for rapid exhaust of outlet pressure and comes standard with a round pressure gauge and mounting bracket. It is suitable for industrial automation scenarios such as automotive manufacturing, large packaging machinery, heavy assembly lines, and various centralized air supply applications.

Core Highlights: Large Bore, High Flow, Rapid Exhaust, Integrated Pressure Gauge

  • 1-Inch Port Size, 10,000 L/min Ultra-High Flow
    Body size 60 with a 1-inch port (Rc 1), representing a high-flow specification within the AR series.
    Maximum flow rate of 10,000 L/min, suitable for centralized air supply in large pneumatic systems or supplying multiple downstream devices simultaneously.
  • Rapid Exhaust Mechanism for Enhanced Safety
    Incorporates a mechanism for rapid exhaust of outlet pressure, allowing quick release of residual downstream air pressure during system shutdown or maintenance, effectively preventing unintended operations.
  • Relief Type Structure for Precise Pressure Regulation
    Utilizes a relief type structure. When the secondary pressure exceeds the set value, it automatically exhausts to the atmosphere through the relief port, ensuring stable output pressure.
    Set pressure range: 0.05 to 0.85 MPa; maximum operating pressure: 1.0 MPa.
  • Round Pressure Gauge with Limit Indicator for Intuitive Monitoring
    Option “G” represents a round pressure gauge (with limit indicator), embedded in the front of the valve body for easy real-time monitoring of output pressure.
    The limit indicator allows marking the normal operating pressure range on the dial for visual pressure monitoring.
  • Standard Mounting Bracket for Secure Integration
    Option “B” indicates the inclusion of a mounting bracket, facilitating secure fastening of the valve body to the equipment frame, simplifying installation and enhancing system stability.
  • Wide Operating Conditions, International Standard Interface
    Thread type: Rc (PT tapered thread), conforming to common Asian standards.
    Ambient/fluid temperature range: -5 to 60℃, suitable for most industrial environments.
    Knob direction: downward, easy to operate and lockable to prevent adjustment drift due to vibration.
