Product Overview
The SMC AW40-N04-2-B is a modular pneumatic filter regulator from the SMC AW series, combining air filtration and precision pressure regulation in a single compact unit. As a process and pneumatic valve assembly, it conditions compressed air by removing water droplets, oil mist, and particulate contaminants while maintaining a stable secondary pressure for downstream pneumatic circuits. The unit operates on a diaphragm-actuated pressure reducing principle with an integrated manual relief mechanism, making it a core conditioning component in industrial air preparation systems (FRL combinations).

Engineering Features & Advantages
- Precision Performance: Diaphragm-type pressure reducing mechanism delivers stable secondary pressure with minimal droop, ensuring consistent actuator and valve response across varying flow demands.
- Integrated Air Conditioning: Combines filtration and regulation in one body, reducing piping complexity and pressure loss compared to separate filter and regulator installations.
- Industrial Reliability: Built for continuous operation under severe industrial conditions, with a robust bowl and reliable relief function for safe pressure setting.
- Direct Fit Replacement: Exact dimensional and functional compatibility with original SMC AW40 modular FRL standards, allowing drop-in replacement and modular expansion.
Typical Industrial Applications
Commonly deployed in pneumatic control panels for plastic injection molding machines, CNC machine tools, packaging and assembly automation, and general factory air preparation lines where clean, pressure-stabilized compressed air is required for cylinders, solenoid valves, and air motors.
