Product Overview
The SMC ARP20K-01BG-3 is a precision pneumatic pressure regulator from the SMC ARP series, engineered for accurate downstream pressure control in compressed air systems. As a process and pneumatic valve component, it operates on a balanced poppet and diaphragm working principle, where an adjustable spring force is counteracted by downstream feedback pressure to maintain a stable set output regardless of fluctuations in inlet pressure or flow demand. With its 1/8 port size and compact body, this regulator serves as a critical control element in pneumatic circuits, delivering repeatable pressure regulation for actuators, air tools, and instrumentation lines within industrial automation and process environments.
