The Pneumax Airplus Size 1 FRL Air Service Unit 1/8" -1/4" is a compressed air treatment unit designed for a pipe size range of 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch. FRL stands for Filter-Regulator-Lubricator, indicating it performs three key functions in a pneumatic system:
Filtering: Removes contaminants like dust, moisture, and pipe scale from the compressed air stream to protect pneumatic components from wear and malfunction.
Regulation: Controls air pressure to a desired level suitable for the operation of pneumatic actuators, valves, and other devices.
Lubrication: Adds a fine mist of oil to the air stream to lubricate the moving parts of pneumatic components, reducing friction and wear.
Pneumax Airplus Series:
This specific unit belongs to the Airplus series by Pneumax, known for its modular design and wide range of functionalities. The Airplus series offers various FRL units in different sizes to accommodate various flow rate requirements. Size 1 refers to the smaller size units within the Airplus range, suitable for applications with lower flow rate demands.
Applications:
The Pneumax Airplus Size 1 FRL Air Service Unit is ideal for various applications requiring clean, regulated, and lubricated compressed air in a compact design. Here are some examples:
Operating small pneumatic cylinders: These cylinders are used for positioning, clamping, or actuating mechanisms in machines and automation applications. The FRL unit ensures clean air, proper pressure control for precise actuation, and lubrication to minimize wear on moving parts.
Supplying air to control valves and instruments: In pneumatic control systems, the FRL unit purifies the air, regulates pressure for valves and instruments to function correctly, and lubricates to maintain smooth operation.
Providing clean air for air tools: Air tools like screwdrivers, sanders, and impact wrenches require clean and regulated air pressure for efficient operation. The FRL unit ensures this by filtering contaminants, regulating pressure, and potentially adding lubrication depending on the specific tool requirements.
