Original Press Release:
Rexroth Extends AS Series FRLs - New AS3 Optimized for Greater Flow
Rexroth Series AS3 FRL is characterized by a modular construction and modern industrial design. A width of 63 mm permits higher flow.
The new Series AS3 FRLs from Rexroth fulfills high demands in terms of air preparation. The Air Service (AS) system has a modular construction and is comprised of filters, regulators, lubricators, and accessory devices such as shut-off valves and distribution blocks. The AS3 complements the smaller Series AS2 FRLs. With a width of 63 mm, an AS3 regulator provides a substantially higher flow rate of max. 184 SCFM as compared to a 52-millimeter AS2 regulator with max. 95 SCFM. The AS3 compressed air preparation system is offered with 3/8" and ½" NPT, and G3/8 and G1/2 ports with a pressure range of 232 psi and can be used at temperatures between +14° to +122°F.
The AS Series feature a smooth surface which is easy to clean. The modern industrial design and compact dimensions, along with the application of advanced polymers, make the AS3 very light-weight. A patented oil filling system permits semi-automatic filling of the lubricator unit: the oil is directly vacuumed out of a container through a hose and the level is measured and displayed with a sensor. Plus, the unit is easy to maintain, as a large window provides a clear view of the filter and lubricator levels. Users can disassemble individual components even while the system itself remains assembled.
Included among the many options for the Series AS FRLs, are multiple filter options - 5, 0.3 or 0.01 micron filtration. Drain valves on the filters can be semi-automatic or automatic. Regulator options include standard, precision or continuous pressure models. Shut-off (lock-out) valves can be lockable or non-lockable. Also, choose from a variety of mounting options. On-line cad drawings are available for OEM design requirements.
