Product Overview
The SMC AR20-01BG-B is a precision pneumatic pressure regulator from the SMC AR series, engineered to deliver stable, repeatable downstream pressure control in compressed air systems. As a process and pneumatic valve component, it operates on a diaphragm-actuated, spring-loaded regulating principle: an adjusting knob compresses a control spring that balances against downstream air pressure acting on a diaphragm, modulating the internal valve seat to maintain the set outlet pressure regardless of fluctuations in inlet pressure or flow demand. The AR20-01BG-B features a 1/8″ port size, a panel-mount capable body, and an integrated pressure gauge for direct visual monitoring of the regulated output. This regulator serves as a critical control element in pneumatic circuits, protecting downstream actuators, air tools, and instrumentation from over-pressure conditions while ensuring consistent operating pressure for repeatable process performance.
