Pressure regulator completes family flow
range
The ITV1000 electropneumatic regulator fills the gap between SMC's super compact ITV0000 and the larger ITV2000 and 3000.
The ITV1000 electropneumatic regulator fills the gap between SMC's super compact ITV0000 and the larger ITV2000 and 3000 - all of which have been a big hit with customers due to their precision operation The ITV1000's maximum flow rate is 250 litre/min (ANR) when a set pressure of 0.5MPa is applied, making it ideal for applications that require a flow rate between the ITV0000's 7 litre/min and the ITV2000's 1500 litre/min

Rotary air gripper saves space
Rotary air gripper combines gripping and rotating functions, which saves space and simplifies wiring and piping.
"One of the many advantages of using ITV regulators is SMC's decision to go with a dual pilot valve design, reduces both cost and air consumption.
The more typical flapper nozzle design prevalent in many competitors require a constant air bleed-off to operate properly", says C Brion Kidder, Senior Product Manager for SMC Corporation of America.
The ITV regulators offer step free control of air pressure proportional to an electrical signal.
Internal circuitry pulses supply and release valves to maintain the desired output air pressure.
Compatible inputs are: 4-20mA DC, 0-20mA DC, 0-5V DC and 0-10V DC analogue inputs; and four-wire digital input.
ITV2000 and 3000 are available in 10- or 16-point digital input DeviceNet network-compatible types and are available with five monitor output options.
They have a sensitivity of 0.2kPa, linearity within 1%, and hysteresis within 0.5%.
All but the ultracompact ITV0000 have an easy-to-read digital LED display.
All SMC ITV regulators have earned the CE and IP65 rating.
