SMC – Series VBA

Increase factory air pressure by up to twice as much! No need for an electrical supply!

Save energy (compressor electricity and air use) by reducing air pressure. Booster regulators can support lower-level power lines individually

Series VBA booster regulators can allow you to supply higher pressure air to a device without the cost of operating your entire system at the higher pressure. Easy to install with no electrical requirements, they are ideal for remote locations or additions to existing machines. Three models are available, and the two larger sizes have been improved for extended life (up to 2X the current models), lower noise, and enhanced performance.

Improvements include grease grooves for lubricant retention, floating assemblies for oscillating components, inlet strainers, and improved bumpers to reduce valve noise, the addition of a high noise reduction muffler option, and a new tube design to aid in heat transfer and reduce outlet condensation. Outlet pressure is controlled either via an integral regulator or a remote air pressure signal. All models can be directly connected to a storage tank by a port in the base, further simplifying installation.

• Energy saving
• Simple operation, no electricity needed
• Up to 2X pressure increase (4X for VBA1111)
• ¼”, 3/8”, and ½” port sizes in R, G, and NPTF threads
• Improved service life: Double that of conventional model
• Floating mechanism for piston (PAT. PEND)
• Groove for grease
• Noise reduction: Reduced by 13 dB (A) compared with the conventional model
• Metal noise reduced by a damper on the impact part of the switch valve
• Exhaust noise reduced by a high noise reduction silencer
• Improved reliability: Built-in mesh filter in the IN port
• Prevents malfunction due to contamination from solid foreign matter.
