System configuration The of the booster regulator has metallic mesh to prevent dust from entering the booster regulator. However, it cannot remove dust continuously or separate drainage. Make sure to install a mist separator (M series) on the inlet side of the booster regulator. The booster regulator has a sliding part inside, and it generates dust. lso, install an air purification device such as an air filter or a mist separator on the outlet side as necessary. onnect a lubricator to the outlet side, because the accumulated oil in the booster regulator may result in a malfunction. 2. Exhaust air measures Provide a dedicated pipe to release the exhaust air from each booster regulator. If exhaust air is converged into a pipe, the back pressure that is created could cause improper operation. Depending on the necessity, install a silencer or an exhaust cleaner on the exhaust port of the booster regulator to reduce the exhaust noise. 3.

Booster Regulator Series Working Principle The IN air passes through the check valve to booster chambers and B. Meanwhile, air is supplied to drive chamber B via the governor and the switching valve. Then, the air pressure from drive chamber B and booster chamber are applied to the piston, boosting the air in booster chamber B. s the piston travels, the boosted air is pushed via the check valve to the side. When the piston reaches to the end, the piston causes the switching valve to switch, so that drive chamber B is in the exhaust state and drive chamber is in the supply state respectively. Then, the piston reverses its movement, this time, the pressures from booster chamber B and drive chamber boosts the air in booster chamber and sends it to the side. The process described above is repeated to continuously supply highly pressurized air from the IN to the side. The governor establishes the outlet pressure by handle operation and pressure adjustment in the drive chamber by feeding back the outlet pressure. 0, 20, 40, 43 Drive Governor chamber Booster chamber Switching valve ircuit Example IN (Inlet) heck valve E (Outlet) General line (low pressure) Drive chamber B Piston rod Piston Booster chamber B Locations requiring high pressure ir-operated type Pilot pressure 22, 42 When only some of the machines in the plant require high-pressure air, booster regulators can be installed for only the equipment that requires it. This allows the overall system to use low-pressure air while accommodating machines requiring high-pressure air. P Plant line (source pressure) (Two-stage pressure boost) When charging a tank or the like from a source at atmospheric pressure, a circuit with a check valve can be used to reduce the charge time by allowing air to pass through the check valve up to the inlet pressure. Initially, inlet pressure (P) passes through the check valve, fills P2, and results in P = P2. P2 Piston rod Booster chamber Piston When the actuator output is insufficient but space limitations prohibit switching to a larger cylinder diameter, a booster regulator can be used to increase the pressure. This makes it possible to boost the output without replacing the actuator. When a certain level of output is required but the cylinder size must be kept small so that the driver remains compact. 0.5 MPa ø00 Operating pressure: 0.5 MPa Bore size: ø00 Output 38 N Booster chamber B IN (Inlet) heck valve (Outlet) E Equivalent output Governor Drive Drive chamber chamber B 0.8 MPa ø80 E IN 0.5 MPa Operating pressure: 0.8 MPa Bore size: ø80 Output 4000 N Switching valve When only one side of the cylinder is used for work, booster regulators can be installed only on the lines that require them to reduce the overall air consumption volume.

Series Warning Design. Warning concerning abnormal outlet pressure If there is a likelihood of causing an outlet pressure drop due to unforeseen circumstances such as equipment malfunction, thus leading to a major problem, take safety measures on the system side. Because the outlet pressure could exceed its set range if there is a large fluctuation in the inlet pressure, leading to unexpected accidents, take safety measures against abnormal pressures. Operate the equipment within its maximum operating pressure and set pressure range. 2. Residual pressure measures onnect a 3-port valve to the side of the booster regulator if the residual pressure must be released quickly from the outlet pressure side for maintenance, etc. (Refer to the diagram below.) The residual outlet pressure side cannot be released even if the 3-port valve is connected to the IN side because the check valve in the booster regulator will activate. fter operation is finished, release the supply pressure at the inlet. This stops the booster regulator from moving needlessly and prevents operating malfunctions. aution Mounting. Transporting When transporting this product, hold it lengthwise with both hands. Never hold it by the black handle that protrudes from the center because the handle could become detached from the body, causing the body to fall and leading to injury. 2. Installation Install this product so that the silver-colored tie-rods and cover are placed horizontally. If mounted vertically, it may result in a malfunction. Because the piston cycle vibration is transferred, use the following mounting bolts (: M5; 2, 4: M0) and tighten them with the specified torque (: 3 N m; 2, 4: 24 N m). If the transmission of vibration is not preferred, insert an isolating rubber material before installation. Mount the pressure gauge with a torque of 7 to 9 N m. aution Piping. Flushing Use an air blower to flush the piping to thoroughly remove any cutting chips, cutting oil, or debris from the piping inside, before connecting them. If they enter the inside of the booster regulator, they could cause the booster regulator to malfunction or its durability could be affected. 2. Piping size To bring the booster regulator s ability into full play, make sure to match the piping size to the port size. aution Selection. heck the specifications. onsider the operating conditions and operate this product within the specification range that is described in this catalog. 2. Selection Based on the conditions (such as pressure, flow rate and cycle time) required for the outlet side of the booster regulator, check the selection procedures described in this catalog or model selection software for size selection of the booster regulator. Since the booster regulator is a compressor powered by the air, it consumes the air. The air consumption is approximately.2 times (pressure increase ratio 2) or 2.7 times (pressure increase ratio 4) larger than the outlet side volume. Therefore, the booster regulator requires a supply capacity of the inlet side volume that is approximately 2.2 times (pressure increase ratio 2) or 3.7 times (pressure increase ratio 4) larger than the outlet side volume. Set the pressure of the 0, 20, 22, 40, 42 or 43 (pressure increase ratio 2) to a level that is at least 0. MPa higher than the inlet pressure. If the pressure differential is 0. MPa or less, the internal operating pressure becomes the minimum operating pressure or less and the switching valve may remain at the intermediate position, causing a restart failure. Set the pressure increase ratio of the (pressure increase ratio 4) to 2 or more. When the is used at a pressure increase ratio of 2 or less, the internal operating pressure becomes the minimum operating pressure or less and the switching valve may remain at the intermediate position, causing a restart failure. When operating the booster regulator continuously for longer periods of time, particularly confirm its service life. The service life of the booster regulator depends on not the operation hours but the operating cycles (piston sliding distance). The operating cycles (piston sliding distance) depend on the outlet flow of the booster regulator. Thus, when more outlet flow of the booster regulator is used, its service life becomes shorter. 930 aution ir Supply. Quality of air source onnect a mist separator to the inlet side near the booster regulator. If the quality of the compressed air is not thoroughly controlled, the booster regulator could malfunction (without being able to boost) or its durability could be affected. If dry air (atmospheric pressure dew point: 23 or less) is used, the life expectancy may be shortened because dry air will accelerate evaporation of grease inside. aution Operating Environment. Installation location Do not install this product in an area that is exposed to rainwater or direct sunlight. Do not install in locations influenced by vibrations. If it must be used in such an area due to unavoidable circumstances, please contact SM beforehand.

Booster Regulator Series aution. Setting the pressure on the handle-operated type If air is supplied to the product in the shipped state, the air will be released. Set the pressure by quickly pulling up on the governor handle, releasing the lock, and rotating the handle in the direction of the arrow (+). There is an upper and lower limit for the handle rotation. If over-rotating the handle even after reaching to the limit, the internal parts may be damaged. If the handle suddenly feels heavy while being turned, stop turning the handle. Once the setting is completed, push the handle down and lock it. To decrease the outlet pressure, after the pressure has been set, rotate the handle in the direction of the arrow ( ). The residual air will be released from the area of the handle, due to the relief construction of the governor. To reset the pressure, first reduce the pressure so that it is lower than the desired pressure; then, set it to the desired pressure.
