Product Overview
The SMC AW40-04-A is a modular air preparation unit combining a main line filter and pressure regulator in a single compact body, part of the SMC AW series of pneumatic filter regulators. The unit removes water droplets, solid particulates, and oil mist from compressed air while simultaneously providing precise downstream pressure regulation via a diaphragm-type reducing valve. With a 1/2″ port size and a relieving pressure control mechanism, the AW40-04-A delivers stable secondary pressure and clean air to pneumatic actuators, cylinders, and air tools. Its modular design allows direct connection to other SMC FRL components, simplifying system assembly and maintenance in industrial pneumatic circuits.

Engineering Features & Advantages
- Precision Performance: Diaphragm-type pressure reducing valve maintains stable secondary pressure with minimal drift, while the integrated filter element captures 5 µm particulates and condensate for clean air delivery.
- Industrial Reliability: Built for continuous operation under severe industrial conditions, with a relieving mechanism that exhausts excess downstream pressure for safe system behavior.
- Direct Fit Replacement: Exact dimensional and functional compatibility with original SMC AW series modular FRL standards, enabling drop-in replacement and easy integration.
Typical Industrial Applications
Commonly deployed in plastic injection molding machines, CNC machine tools, packaging and assembly automation lines, and general factory pneumatic networks where clean, pressure-regulated compressed air is required for cylinders, valves, and air-operated equipment.
