Pressure regulators
Pressure regulators are crucial for ensuring the correct operation and safety of pneumatic systems. Also known as air reducers, these devices are fundamental for controlling and stabilising the pressure of compressed air, ensuring that pneumatic machines and tools operate optimally.

What is a Pressure Regulator?
A pressure regulator is a device used to regulate fluid inlet pressure to a stable and controlled level. This process is essential to protect pneumatic equipment from damage caused by pressure fluctuations and to ensure maximum operational efficiency. There are various types of pressure regulators for compressed air, each designed for specific applications and requirements. Some are functional for high-pressure applications, while others are better suited for low-pressure situations. The choice of the appropriate type depends on the specific application and system needs.
Technical Characteristics
Regulators can be classified as relieving, non-relieving, and precision types. Relieving regulators can automatically vent excess overpressure, maintaining the desired level. These are particularly useful in applications where downstream pressure increases. Non-relieving regulators do not vent excess pressure to the atmosphere, making them suitable for gases other than air, especially in enclosed environments or where safety is a primary concern.
Precision regulators function differently from traditional ones, using a series of internal membranes to detect small pressure differences and subsequently release or increase downstream pressure. Choosing the right pressure regulator is crucial for ensuring the effectiveness and safety of the pneumatic system. Factors to consider include the operating pressure range, type of fluid used, compatibility with other system components, and environmental conditions.
Maintenance of Pressure Regulators
Pressure regulators generally do not require special attention or intervention ; given their low purchase price, they are usually replaced entirely if problems arise.
