AFC/BFC Series Double-Acting Cylinder Assembly Air source treatment combination unit Integrated filter-regulator-oil-mist element Industrial pneumatic air source treatment components

AFC/BFC series combination units, including models AFC1500/2000 and BFC2000/3000/4000, integrate filtration, pressure reduction, and oil‑mist lubrication, and are suitable for air‑source treatment in industrial pneumatic systems.

Product Details

Product Overview

The AFC/BFC series dual‑function units are air‑source treatment components specially designed for industrial pneumatic systems. They integrate filtration, pressure regulation, and oil‑mist lubrication into a single unit, available in models such as AFC1500/2000 and BFC2000/3000/4000, catering to various flow‑rate requirements. These units are widely used for air purification, pressure stabilization, and lubrication in diverse industrial pneumatic applications.

Operating Principle

  1. Compressed air first enters the filter‑regulator valve, where a 40μm filter element removes impurities and moisture while stabilizing the pressure;
  2. The regulated air then flows into the oil‑mist lubricator, carrying lubricating oil mist downstream to cylinders, solenoid valves, and other components;
  3. Together, these two units provide clean, pressure‑stabilized, and lubricated compressed air to the pneumatic system, protecting downstream components.

Key Advantages and Selling Points

  1. Comprehensive Specification Coverage: Compatible with multiple connection sizes from G1/8" to G1/2", offering standard rated flow rates to meet diverse pneumatic system needs, suitable for small to medium‑sized systems;
  2. Integrated Dual‑Function Design: Combines filtration, pressure regulation, and oil‑mist lubrication into one compact unit, simplifying the air‑source treatment process and reducing installation space and costs;
  3. Wide Pressure Regulation Range: Adjustable pressure range of 0.05–0.85 MPa, with a maximum adjustable pressure of 0.95 MPa and a pressure resistance of 1.5 MPa, meeting the pressure requirements of most industrial pneumatic systems;
  4. Durable Material Construction: The body is die‑cast from aluminum alloy, the reservoir is made of PE, and the protective cover is steel, ensuring robust performance in harsh industrial environments and long‑term stable operation;
  5. Standard Component Configuration: Both the filter‑regulator valve and the oil‑mist lubricator use corresponding model series, facilitating easy maintenance and replacement.
